Michael Gregg Wilson, OBE (born January 21, 1943) is the producer and screenwriter of many of the James Bond films. Wilson was born in New York City, the son of Dana (née Natol) and actor Lewis Wilson. His father was the first actor to play the DC Comics character Batman in live action, which he did in the 1943 film serial Batman. He is the stepson of the late James Bond producer Albert R. Broccoli and step brother to Bond co-producer, Barbara Broccoli. Wilson graduated from Harvey Mudd College in 1963 as an electrical engineer. He later studied law at Stanford. After graduating, Wilson worked for the United States government and later a firm located in Washington D.C. that specialized in international law.\n He was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2008 New Year Honours, alongside Barbara Broccoli.\n In 2010 Wilson was given The Royal Photographic Society's award for Outstanding Service to Photography, which carries with it an Honorary Fellowship of The Society.\n In 1972, Wilson joined Eon Productions, the production company responsible for the James Bond film series dating back to 1962 that began with his stepfather Albert R. 'Cubby' Broccoli and Harry Saltzman. Wilson specifically worked in Eon Productions' legal department until taking a more active role as an assistant to Cubby Broccoli for the film The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). In 1979 Wilson became executive producer of the film Moonraker and since has been an executive producer or producer in every James Bond film, currently co-producing with his half-sister Barbara.\n Wilson collaborated five times with veteran Bond screenwriter Richard Maibaum starting in 1981 with For Your Eyes Only. In 1989 Michael G. Wilson was forced to finish the screenplay to Licence to Kill alone due to a strike by the Writers Guild of America, west which prevented Maibaum from having any further involvement. For both, this was their final James Bond script, as Maibaum died in 1991 and Wilson ceased writing, although he outlined a never-produced film in the series with Alfonse Ruggiero, scrapped due to internal legal wranglings between Eon Productions and MGM (the following film, GoldenEye being a completely different story written by Michael France). In addition to his production duties, Wilson has also made many cameo appearances (speaking and non-speaking) in the Bond films. His first appearance, long before becoming a producer, was in Goldfinger in which he appeared as a soldier. Wilson has made cameo appearances in every Eon-produced Bond film since 1977.
The sequel to Semper Occultus. James Bond is sent on a mission to discover more about the unnamed NGO group and Emilio Largo. The film begins with a police raid in London that goes horribly wrong, killing innocent men, women, and even children. Bond knows Emilio and his group is behind the carnage, and vows to take them down once and for all for her Majesty's sake. His hunt takes him to Paris, into a deadly game of predator and prey, and a fateful meeting with the seductive Tylyn Mignonne, a movie star with a sordid past, who helps Bond find Emilio and his unnamed group. Eventually Bond is introduced to Ernst Stavro Blofeld, a Hollywood director that is directing Tylyn's husbands upcoming film, Pirate Island. It is quickly discovered that Emilio Largo and Ernst Stavro Blofeld are working together to move drugs out of Paris and into London. Leon Essinger, Tylyn's husband, is helping Blofeld and Emilio move the drugs into his underground shelter underneath his London mansion on the River Thames. With the help of Tylyn, James is able to stop the group and kill Emilio Largo. In an uneasy standoff, Tylyn shoots and kills her husband. Ernst Stavro Blofeld escapes by a helicopter piloted by a tall man with metal like teeth. Bond discovers the name of the NGO group is SPECTRE.
