Man denies breaching restraining order by contacting ex-007 producer
A man has denied 11 counts of breaching a restraining order by contacting former James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli. Daniel Wilson was prohibited from contacting Ms Broccoli, 64, by an order put in place at Isleworth Crown Court on July 3 2017. Ms Broccoli, 64, and her half-brother Michael G Wilson, 83, produced the James Bond franchise after the death of her father Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli in 1996 until February this year. Amazon MGM Studios gained creative control of the franchise in March this year. It is alleged that Mr Wilson, 36, from Lambeth, south London, acted in breach of the restraining order by attempting to contact Ms Broccoli 'without reasonable excuse' on 11 dates between April 2022 and April last year. Mr Wilson appeared on video link and pleaded not guilty to each charge at Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday. The court heard Mr Wilson, who wore glasses and a patterned jacket during the hearing, is currently in hospital. Bail conditions had been put in place at an earlier hearing and Judge Sally-Ann Hales KC ordered that they would continue. She told Mr Wilson he could not 'be in possession of any device that can access the internet' or contact Ms Broccoli directly or indirectly. He must also live and sleep each night in a location directed by the NHS, she said. His trial was set for July 19 2027, and Judge Hales added: 'I'm afraid that is the earliest date that the court can accommodate.' She granted that Ms Broccoli can give evidence behind screens 'given the nature of the allegations'. Mr Wilson is charged with acting in breach of the restraining order on April 1 and 19, May 19 and 25, June 30 and July 6 in 2022. He is also accused of doing so on March 10, April 12, 17, 20 and 22 in 2024. The 007 franchise had been controlled by members of the Broccoli family, either single-handedly or in partnership with others, since the first Bond film Dr No in 1962. Ms Broccoli and her half-brother produced the past nine Bond films, including Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Spectre and No Time to Die. They have been made CBEs and won the outstanding British film Bafta for 2012's Skyfall along with director Sir Sam Mendes. Amazon gained creative control of the British spy franchise following a deal which saw Eon Productions, run by Mr Wilson and Ms Broccoli, become co-owners with Amazon MGM Studios.

Man denies breaching restraining order against ex-James Bond producer

It is alleged that Wilson acted in breach of the restraining order by attempting to contact Broccoli "without reasonable excuse" on 11 dates between April 2022 and April last year. The court heard Wilson, who wore glasses and a patterned jacket during the hearing, is currently staying in hospital.

Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli bought the rights to Ian Fleming's novels featuring the British MI6 agent in 1961. The following year he produced Dr No starring Sean Connery as 007. The most recent Bond film - No Time To Die which starred Daniel Craig - was released in 2021 and ended with the spy being killed in a missile strike.
