Creating A Global Franchise
19th August 2012
Michael G Wilson OBE, James Bond producer at
EON Productions, spoke at about the legacy of the 007 franchise
at the British
Business Embassy on 31 July 2012 as part of the "This is Great
Britain" conference held during the Olympics to boost UK
business. His presentation, titled "Creating an International
Film Franchise",
walked through the history of the series, the "dream team" that
created "Dr. No", the bumps along the road during
the last 50 years, and the tough decisions they
make to
keep
the films fresh and appealing to old and new audiences alike.
One of his quotes about Pierce Brosnan leaving the franchise
was taken a little out of context by the press and hit the headlines
last week. Presented here is the complete speech (his presentation
slides are off-camera):
