Gregg Wilson-the next generation Producer?

Bleuville

Last night in the DAD-Die Another Day film (2002) a magazine’s pages are opened (not sure when,) might’ve been about Gustav Graves.
and the article of text is by Gregg Wilson.
(Hadn’t noticed before, but he’s only recently been an Associate Producer on the DC Bond films.)
Also Michael G. Wilson plays an American General in the background when they’re discussing the North Korea border troop build up.

So maybe Gregg will inherit Producing when Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccolli retire in several years.
Around about Bond 29 in the year 2030?!

I think this is quite likely. The Bond films have become a family business since Cubby handed over the reigns to Michael and Barbara and I'm pretty sure Gregg will assume the role of producer at some stage.

Whether or not this is a good thing is debatable. I would argue that Mickey and Babs have done a good job overall, however I have heard some interesting opinions. One was from Norman Wanstall (sound editor on the early films.) He argued that Cubby was a far better producer than his children because he worked his way up through the industry as any normal filmmaker would and learned through that process, also proving that he was an exceptional producer. Mickey and Babs, on the other hand, have inherited a hugely successful series and have not had to go through the process of creating success from scratch. I'm not sure if this is necessarily to the detriment of the series, but it's an interesting question to ponder: Could the Broccolis/Wilsons succesfully create something outside of the Bond franchise?

It does seem likely that Gregg will inherit Bond. Michael will retire long before Barbara, so it will likely be Barbara and Gregg together for a while.

Yes, I can see that happening.

Ol' Cubby was a smart man, and made sure that both Michael and Barbara worked on his films in junior roles (eg assistant director) to learn the ropes before he passed control on to them. The same thing is happening with Gregg.
It was a nice touch to have Gregg doing the Wilson cameo along with his dad in SP- symbolically passing the torch.

Im which scene was the cameo this time anyway? I have a vague memory of MI6 headquarters, but not sure anymore.

Im also sure things will be passed on to Gregg. Maybe even sooner than we might expect. He's been giving more interviews latetly. He was also on the pre premiere in Holland along with Bautista and Seadoux. Honestly, since after SF I barerly heared anything about him.

When M and Moneypenny approach C as he's coming out of a meeting, C is speaking to two men who quickly disappear- the Wilsons.
MGW has been having some health problems lately, and is maybe thinking about retiring so Gregg can take over. That's just a guess, of course.
