Barbara Broccoli Included in Variety's 2006 Women's Impact Report
A successful reinvention of the James Bond franchise
Written by Guest Writer on 31 Jul, 2007
Producer Barbara Broccoli has been included in the 2006 Women’s Impact Report from Variety as a result of her key role in successfully reinventing the James Bond franchise…
It’s a law of nature that when the children take over the business their father built up, there’s a good chance they’ll mess it up.
Fortunately, no one told Barbara Broccoli. Along with her stepbrother Michael G. Wilson, she inherited the James Bond franchise from her legendary father Cubby after he passed away in 1996, and has taken it to even greater heights.
The remarkable success of Casino Royale last year means Broccoli has reinvented Bond not just once, with the commercially blockbusting Pierce Brosnan incarnations, but twice.
The second achievement is the more impressive of the two. Brosnan was still Cubby’s choice, somehow the perfect summation of his vision for the role — dark and suave, Celtic and wisecracking. But Daniel Craig was the inspiration of the younger generation, controversially blond, rugged, rough around the edges and the purest actor ever picked for the job. Gone were the jokes, the gimmicks and gadgets. In came something grittier, darker, more emotional, more dramatic — and more real.
It was audacious, and it worked. Broccoli proved herself far more than just the lucky daughter of a brilliant father: She was a great producer in her own right, worthy of the family name. Yet she remains diffident about her achievements, shunning the spotlight that she feels should rightfully shine on the talent.
Perhaps that’s where her family background shows. Having been born into the Bond franchise, she never had to promote herself in order to get the movies made, which has enabled her to remain an unusually private person in an industry of showmen and hucksters.
Vocation: “Whatever it takes to keep the Bond franchise healthy.”
Recent breakthrough: Casino Royale — not just for its box office, but for being the most critically acclaimed of the 21 Bond movies, earning nine BAFTA noms.

Daniel Craig Figure From Sideshow On The Way
Representatives hint at new Bond figure
Written by Devin Zydel on 30 Jul, 2007
Great news for James Bond collectors: a Daniel Craig figure from Sideshow Collectibles seems to finally be on the way.
According to a report from the Double O Section, Sideshow representatives strongly hinted at this past weekend’s Comic-Con in San Diego that a Daniel Craig figure was on the way (although they would not confirm this).
‘Check the website,” said one of the representatives. ‘Craig fans will be happy.’
Most recently, Sideshow has been concentrating on their Legacy Collection of 007 figures which includes: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan (click on these links for specific information on each figure). The Connery and Brosnan figures were sculpted by Mat Falls, while Oluf W. Hartvigson did the Lazenby, Moore, and Dalton figures. Click here for the CBn’s Sideshow interview with Hartvigson, in which he discusses working on the Bond figures.
