EON Productions and Hammer Films

EON (Everything Or Nothing) Productions is a film production company founded in 1961, locating in London. The productions are famously known for their series of Bond films, which first made it to the screens in 1962 going by the title of Dr. No. The responsibility of the copyright and trademarks to the Bond elements, such as characters, is held by a subsidiary Danjaq LLC(stated as a holding company).

Hammer Films was founded in 1934, when they made a launch of their first production called The Public Life of Henry The Ninth. Like EON, Hammer Films is also located in UK, but their genre differ completely. Hammer Films are globally known for their successful gothic films produced in the mid 1950s until the 1970s. They later on began to vary their production to science fiction, thrillers, film noir and comedies, and in later years they reached the extent of television series. Afterwards, Hammer Films dominated horror films, distributing worldwide and undergoing financial success. Part of this was due to distribution partnerships with the US major studios, like the Warner Bros.
