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.
A complete reboot of Ian Fleming's James Bond. The film explains how Bond earned his job as 007 at the MI6. When the Majesty's Secret Service is exploited for false claims, Alex Younger (the real Chief of the MI6) must provide immediate proof of a hacking. An unnamed NGO (Non-government organization) frames the MI6 by putting forth false claims that Alex Younger had ordered his Secret Intelligence Officers to kill the Queen. The Queen orders a complete shutdown of the MI6 and states that for this moment forward that all British Military and Secret Intelligence will be handled by Her Majesty's Government. Former Naval Intelligence Admiral, Miles Messervy, is appointed by the Queen as second in command of the Secret Service. Emilio Largo, a Roman drug dealer, is revealed to be the leader of the unnamed NGO group that framed the MI6. Alex Younger's home is broken into, he and his family are killed by the group. With truth now being told, the Queen orders the reopening of MI6 and appoints Miles Messervy as the new Chief. Miles promises the Queen that the new MI6 will be smaller and more discrete. A new ordering system is set-up by newly appointed secretary, Eve Moneypenny. This ordering system numbers eight total agents, so their names will be disclosed. 001 through 008 are appointed by the MI6. Miles orders Eve and the eight agents to only call him by the letter 'M'. A newly appointed Quartermaster is also hired by the Queen to arm the agents with Secret and High-tech intelligence weapons for their own safety. After days of exercise training, the team agrees that agent 007, James Bond, is the best they have. Bond is a former lower-ranked military sergeant from the Majesty's Army. 007 is sent on a mission to discover more about the unnamed NGO group and Emilio Largo.
