EspañolEON PRODUCTIONS
'EON Productions' is a film production company known for producing the James Bond film series. The company is based in London's Piccadilly and also operates from Pinewood Studios in England. It is a subsidiary of Danjaq LLC, the holding company responsible for the copyright and trademarks to the Bond characters and elements on screen.
EON was started by film producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman in 1961. In 1975 after nine Bond films, Harry Saltzman sold his shares of Danjaq to United Artists (the then-current Bond series distributor). Although Albert R. Broccoli died in 1996, EON Productions is still owned by the Broccoli family, specifically Albert R. Broccoli's daughter, Barbara Broccoli, and his stepson, Michael G. Wilson, who are the current producers of the James Bond films.
The trademarks for the film properties (beginning with ''Dr. No'') are copyrighted by Danjaq and United Artists Corporation, although the 2006 version of ''Casino Royale'' is also co-copyrighted with Columbia Pictures.
Since their first film, ''Dr. No'' in 1962, there has only been one film made by EON Productions that wasn't a part of the Bond series: ''Call Me Bwana'', starring Bob Hope. (Though Saltzman and Broccoli produced other films separately and jointly - including the film ''Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'', also based on a book by Ian Fleming.)
In 2000, EON productions served a cease-and-desist letter to Cheapass Games to stop them from using the name "Mr. Bond" in the title of their game ''Before I Kill You, Mr. Bond''. In 2004, the game was reissued under the title ''James Ernest's Totally Renamed Spy Game''.
In 2004 Electronic Arts developed a video game with the James Bond licence titled '', which was thought to be named after the production company. Up until his death, Albert R. Broccoli had always denied that "EON" stood for anything specifically.

These EON productions are commonly recognized as "official" James Bond films, whereas the 1954 television adaptation of ''Casino Royale'', the 1967 film ''Casino Royale'' and ''Never Say Never Again'' are regarded as "unofficial", due to the fact that they were not produced by EON and do not form part of the main canon.[1][2]
