James Bond franchise producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson are set to be bestowed with a fellowship by the British Film Institute (BFI).

"With amazing insight and vision Michael and Barbara have not only re-invented Bond for today's audiences, but No Time to Die arrived at exactly the right moment to welcome those audiences back to the big screen experience as never before.
"As equally, if not more, important is their commitment to our industry away from the spotlight, where they work tirelessly to open doors for others by playing a huge part in educating, supporting and inspiring the next generation of film makers," said Tim Richards, BFI Chair.
The duo will be presented with the BFI Fellowship during the BFI Chair's Dinner on June 28 at Claridges, London. Broccoli and Wilson said they are proud to accept the BFI Fellowship on behalf of all of those who have been a part of the James Bond series over 60 years and feel honoured to join such an esteemed group of distinguished industry fellows.
"We are very grateful to so many members of the British film industry who we have worked with over the course of our careers and thank the British Film Institute for their tremendous support and leadership for the creative industries in the UK," they added.
