Michael G. Wilson has enjoyed a long association with the record-breaking James Bond film franchise.
He first earned his producing stripes as the executive producer on MOONRAKER and went on to serve in the same capacity on FOR YOUR EYES ONLY and OCTOPUSSY. He produced (with Albert R. Broccoli) A VIEW TO A KILL, THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS and LICENSE TO KILL and with his step-sister Barbara Broccoli GOLDENEYE, TOMORROW NEVER DIES and THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH. Wilson`s creative contribution to these films extends beyond his producing duties. He also co-wrote the screenplays for many of the aformentioned adventures.
Wilson was born in New York and graduated from college as an electrical engineer. He later became a partner in a prestigious Washington DC law firm, during which time he specialised in International Taxation. Wilson first joined Eon in a legal-administrative capacity in 1972 and became assistant to the producer on The Spy Who Loved Me. His expertise as a corporate lawyer has been instrumental in keeping the film series moving forward, despite spurious legal challenges from ex-Thunderball Producer Kevin McClory.
