UA was incorporated as a joint venture on February 5, 1919 by four of the leading figures in early Hollywood: Charles Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and D. W. Griffith. The idea for the venture originated with Fairbanks, Chaplin, Pickford, and cowboy star William S. Hart a year earlier as they were traveling around the U.S. selling Liberty bonds to help the World War I effort. Already hardened veterans of Hollywood, the four film stars began to talk of forming their own company to better control their own work as well as their fu ...

The shortest and most sexually explicit of Fleming's novels, it was banned in some countries and was not released in a paperback edition in Britain until several years after Fleming's death (Fleming had, in fact, requested that no paperback ever be published of the text). As a result, for British readers who never purchased the 1962 hardcover edition, The Spy Who Loved Me, not The Man with the Golden Gun, was their final Fleming James Bond novel. In the United States, a condensed version of the novel was published in the men's mag ...

Born Teresa Draco in 1943, she is the only child of Marc-Ange Draco. Marc-Ange is the head of "The Union Corse", a powerful international mafia crime syndicate -- not quite as large as S.P.E.C.T.R.E., but with substantially larger "legal" operations, including Draco Construction. Teresa goes by "Tracy" because she feels "Teresa" is too grand. (As she once said, "Teresa is a saint; I'm known as Tracy.") Teresa was the only daughter of Marc-Ange Draco and his English-born wife, who had met him while he was hiding out from the authoritie ...

Backed by a flurry of unconfirmed reports from a variety of different sources and mediums, the search for the actor to replace Pierce Brosnan as James Bond has been arguably one of the largest and most publicized searches ever in the history of film. Beginning in the autumn of 2004 rumours began surfacing that Pierce Brosnan would not be re-signing with EON Productions to play agent 007 in Casino Royale. Brosnan confirmed this on October 14, 2004, stating "It's absolutely over," and that he considered himself "fired" from the role. A ...

What Transamerica got was not just the UA name and library, but the expertise and experience of Krim, Benjamin and a team of others. For a time the flow of successful pictures continued. New talent was encouraged, including Woody Allen, Robert Altman, Sylvester Stallone, Saul Zaentz, Milos Forman, and Brian De Palma. In 1973 UA took over the sales and distribution of MGM's films. But insurance companies are a cautious, steady business. The ups-and-downs of movie making made them nervous. And then there were the costs; Hollywood has al ...

The value of film libraries has increased exponentially in recent years, even as ownership gets more fractured. Few studios had the foresight or ability to maintain control over every picture they produced or released. United Artists, through various strategic purchases, built up a substantial film library. Included were rights not only to some of UA's own releases, but to the pre-1948 Warner Bros. and RKO libraries. Having passed through numerous hands, this catalog now belongs ...

On April 8, 2005, a partnership of Comcast, Sony and several merchant banks bought United Artists and its parent, MGM, for a total of $4.8 billion. Since then, Sony has said little about UA's future. While Sony announced that the MGM name will continue to be used on selected features, their plans for UA seem unclear. A few pictures in the pipeline at the time of the Sony takeover are being "jointly" released by UA and Sony Classics. After a sometime splendid, sometimes awful eighty-six year history, this seems to be the last ac ...

Under Kerkorian, United Artists became a shell. The studio was essentially dormant after 1989, releasing no films for several years. In part this was due to the continuing turmoil at MGM/UA; bought by Ted Turner in 1986, he could not get financial backing to complete the deal and, seventy-four days later, re-sold UA and the MGM trademark to Kerkorian, while keeping the MGM/UA library for himself. (See below for a note on the film library.) In 1990 came the farcical sale to the Italian promoter Giancarlo Parretti; having bought MGM/UA ...

The novel features the first and technically the last appearance of the criminal organization S.P.E.C.T.R.E. in its full form in Ian Fleming's novels. After Thunderball, S.P.E.C.T.R.E. attempts to re-form; however, it is prevented from doing so by 007. The book also features the first appearance of Bond's greatest enemy, S.P.E.C.T.R.E. leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld, although 007 does not actually meet the man in this book. This differs from the films, which introduced S.P.E.C.T.R.E. in Dr. No and ...

The novel marks the first time a number of James Bond signature elements are used. It's the first novel in which Bond uses his signature Walther PPK handgun and also the first time Major Boothroyd (a.k.a. Q, the armourer) appears, although Bond's first gadget was in the previous novel, From Russia with Love. The plot of the novel and the film are very similar, only differing when elements from the previous novels are referenced, primarily From Russia with Love and Live and Let Die. See also:

In 1951, two lawyers-turned-producers Arthur Krim and Robert Benjamin approached Pickford and Chaplin with a wild idea: let them take over United Artists for five years. If, at the end of those five years, UA was profitable, they would be given an option to buy the company. Since UA was barely alive, Pickford saw nothing to lose and agreed; Chaplin, not favorable at first, came around when his circumstances changed abruptly in 1952. Hounded by the American Legion and others for years over his left-wing politics and his lurid private l ...

Initially Eric Clapton and Vic Flick were asked to write and perform the theme song to Licence to Kill. The theme was said to have been a new version based on the James Bond Theme. The guitar riff heard in the original recording of the theme was played by Flick. The prospect, however, fell apart and Gladys Knight's song and performance was chosen. The music video of "Licence to Kill" was directed by Daniel Kleinman, who later took over the reins of title designer from Maurice Bi ...
