James Bond is a fictional character created by novelist Ian Fleming in 1953. Bond is a British secret agent working for MI6 who also answers by his codename, 007. He has been portrayed on film by actors Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, in twenty-four productions, with a twenty-fifth in production. Only two films were not made by company Eon Productions. Eon now currently holds the full adaptation rights to all of Fleming's Bond novels.[1][2]
In 1961, producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman joined forces to purchase the filming rights to Fleming's novels.[3] They founded production company Eon Productions and, with financial backing by United Artists, began working on Dr. No, which was directed by Terence Young and featured Connery as Bond.[4] Following Dr. No's release in 1962, Broccoli and Saltzman created the holding company Danjaq to insure future productions in the James Bond film series.[5] The series currently encompasses twenty-two films, with a twenty-third, Skyfall, scheduled for release in 2012.[6]
When Broccoli and Saltzman bought the rights to existing and future Fleming titles, it did not include Casino Royale, which had already been sold to producer Gregory Ratoff. After Ratoff's death, the rights were passed on to Charles K. Feldman,[7] who subsequently produced the satirical Bond spoof Casino Royale in 1967.[8] A legal case ensured that the film rights to the novel Thunderball were held by Kevin McClory as he, Fleming and scriptwriter Jack Whittingham had written a film script upon which the novel was based.[9] Although Eon Productions and McClory joined forces to produce Thunderball, McClory still retained the rights to the story and adapted Thunderball into 1983's Never Say Never Again.[10] The current distribution rights to both of those films are held by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the studio who distributes Eon's regular series.[11][12]
[edit] Eon Films
Producers Harry Saltzman and Albert R. 'Cubby' Broccoli formed a partnership to make the James Bond films. A number of Hollywood film studios did not want to fund the films, finding them "too British" or "too blatantly sexual".[13] Eventually the two received authorisation from United Artists to produce Dr. No, to be released in 1962. Saltzman and Broccoli created two companies: Danjaq, which was to hold the rights to the films, and Eon Productions, which was to produce them. [14] The partnership between Broccoli and Saltzman lasted until 1975, when tensions during the filming of The Man with the Golden Gun led to an acrimonious split and Saltzman sold his shares of Danjaq to United Artists.[15] Initially Broccoli and Saltzman had wanted to produce Thunderball as the first film, but there was an ongoing legal dispute between the screenplay's co-author, Kevin McClory and Ian Fleming. As a result Broccoli and Saltzman chose Dr. No.[16]

[edit] Casino Royale
In March 1958, Ian Fleming sold the film rights of Casino Royale to producer Gregory Ratoff for $6,000[89] ($48,332 in 2012 dollars[90]). After Ratoff's death, producer Charles K. Feldman represented Ratoff's widow and obtained the rights to make the film.[91] Feldman decided the best way to profit from the film rights was to make a satirical version.[89] Casino Royale premiered in April 1967. The film had six directors: Ken Hughes, John Huston, Joseph McGrath, Robert Parrish, Val Guest and Richard Talmadge.[92]

[edit] Never Say Never Again
Never Say Never Again had its origins in the early 1960s following the controversy over the 1961 Thunderball novel.[93] An agreement surrounding the inclusion of Kevin McClory on the production team meant that he was unable to produce any further version of the novel for a period of ten years following the release of the Eon-produced version.[94] After numerous legal disputes,[9][95] the film managed to go ahead.
Never Say Never Again premiered in New York on 7 October 1983,[96] grossing $9.72 million ($23 million in 2012 dollars[90]) on its first weekend,[97] which was reported to be "the best opening record of any James Bond film"[97] up to that point and surpassing Octopussy's $8.9 million ($21 million in 2012 dollars[90]) from June that year.[98] The film went on general release in the US in 1,500 cinemas on 14 October 1983[97] and had its UK premiere at the Warner West End cinema in Leicester Square on 14 December 1983.[96] Worldwide, Never Say Never Again grossed $160 million[99] in box office returns, which was a solid return on the budget of $36 million.[99]
