About Eon Productions

Albert R. Broccoli

Albert R. Broccoli nicknamed Chubby, was an American film producer who made more than 40 motion pictures throughout his career. He was born in the borough of Queens Newyork city. Most of the films were made in United Kingdom and were shooted in Pinewood studios. He died on 27 June 1996 at the age of 87 Beverly hills, California. When Broccoli became interested in bringing Ian Fleming's James Bond character into features, he discovered that the rights already belonged to the Canadian producer Harry Saltzman, who had long wanted to break into film, and who had produced several stage plays and films with only modest success. When the two were introduced by a mutual friend, screenwriter Wolf Mankowitz, Saltzman refused to sell the rights, but agreed to partner with Broccoli and co-produce the films, which led to the creation of the production company EON Productions and its parent (holding) company Danjaq, LLC, named after their two wives' first names—Dana and Jacquiline.

Herschel Saltzman, known as Harry Saltzman was a Canadian theater and film producer who co-produced the James Bond Film series with Albert R. Broccoli. Saltzman and Broccoli formed a partnership in 1962 to create the holding company Danjaq, LLC and the production company Eon Productions and almost immediately began recruiting personnel such as production designer Ken Adam and teaming writers including Richard Maibaum and Mankowitz. With the rights to Casino Royale having gone to an early television adaptation, the team began considering the best novel to adapt and introduce the character. After meeting with United Artists and having received a million dollars in financing, the filmmakers chose Dr. No. Saltzman would remain Broccoli's partner up through the ninth film in the series, 1974's The Man with the Golden Gun.
