Eon Screenwriters’ Workshop.
 Sounds like it's only open to British writers, but what a great thing to get involved in.  "Fandom is where people come together and complain about what they like." Visit The Young Bond Dossier, now the OFFICIAL site for Young Bond news |

I was wondering about the Eon Screenwriter's Workshop and found this:

I hope this doesn't impact 007 in terms of quality and qunaity of films.

QUOTE(Quantumofsolace007 @ 11 April 2008 - 18:21)  I hope this doesn't impact 007 in terms of quality and qunaity of films. Seems like this is along the lines of something I'd read around the time of Casino Royale production and Barbara Broccoli becoming more involved in the production, Michael Wilson stepping more to the back. She was interested in other things, of which James Bond would ultimately become a small part. But, who knows--. |

Odd timing on this. Eon has been around for nearly 50 years and only produced two films outside the Bond series, so why now, when the series is coming off a resurgence is this coming into play?
You'd have thought this would have been a move to make during the 6-year hiatus. I recall in old interviews Cubby talking about owning several properties but never doing anything with them. "You didn't think I'd miss this performance, did you?"

You'll notice that a lot of the content on this site was written by Michael's son, David. I don't have a problem with them wanting to branch out so long as they protect what really matters if in the event of a couple bad apples.  |

Weren't they tied up in court? Also, I believe Mr. Broccoli was having rather challenging health issues at that time. |

Or indeed ones quantity of posts not to be too qualitatively affected by their numbers.

I just hope these 'other' EON films won't effect the work and release of new Bond films.
I'm begining to wonder if this could be the end of the Bond franchise. Wilson taking a break and Barbara looking into other projects. |

I have a bad feeling that it is indeed Hollywood wanting (making the approach now that the franchise is really going places it had never seen, thanks to DC) a bigger piece of the JB franchise, and we are not being told all the deal's details.....just a feeling
