Question ID: 321689
There are 2 companies in the entertainment industry with the same name, 
Eon. 

To my [limited] knowledge, one produces the James Bond 
movies, and the other is a film production company started 
by the Wachowski brothers. 

My question is:  please research the two companies with the same 
name, Eon, and tell me:
-what each does / is responsible for;
-who runs each company; 
-where each is located;
-the official website of each company (if it exists)

Thank you,
