Biography
Elliot Carver was born in Hong Kong. Officially an orphan, he was the illegitimate son of a German woman who died in childbirth and Lord Roverman, the Hong Kong and London press tycoon. A Chinese family took the boy for a one-time fee of fifty pounds. Thirty years later, Carver confronted and blackmailed Roverman into suicide and took over his media empire. This expanded background was found in the official novelization of Tomorrow Never Dies, and it is also shown in a deleted extended scene in the Tomorrow Never Dies special edition DVD.[1] For other uses, see Orphan (disambiguation). ...

Carver is an international media baron who frequently uses his influence to gain an advantage for his firm or wreak havoc on opponents. He threatened to release scandalous photos of the President of the United States with a Chicago cheerleader if a bill lowering cable rates wasn't signed, and then ordered them to be released anyway. Another time, after a British beef baron lost a bet to Carver and refused to pay up (on the grounds that the bet was rigged), Carver got revenge by releasing stories on "Mad Cow Disease".
More nefariously, he attempted to start a war between the British and China, hoping to wipe out the existing Chinese leadership in Beijing so his cohort could take over. Beyond the massive publicity such a war would produce, a friendlier political atmosphere would allow his television network, the Carver Media Group Network, to secure exclusive broadcasting rights in China for the next century, something that the existing Chinese politicians have denied. A television network is a distribution network for television content whereby a central operation provides programming for many television stations. ...
Elliott Carver first appears in the movie at the headquarters of his media empire in Hamburg, Germany, overseeing the destruction of a British naval vessel in the South China Sea. He then has his men steal a cruise missile from the sunken ship, which they have made impossble to be tracked by the British Government. He is later seen at the launch party for his new satallite network, where he gets unusually aggressive with his wife, Paris Carver. Upon meeting James Bond, he developes a foul attitude towards him for questioning him regarding the sunken ship. He has his henchmen capture and attempt to interogate Bond, but he escapes and cuts off power to Carver's live international broadcast. This article is about the city in Germany. ...

Paris Carver is a fictional character who appeared in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies (1997). ...
When learning it was Bond who caused him and his network international embarrassment, Carver tells Paris to attempt to gain information from him as to why he was at the party and what he knows. Carver falsly believed that she was merely a former friend of Bond, and when he discovers that they are ex-lovers, he has Paris killed by Dr. Kaufman, a henchmen of Carver's skilled in the art of chakra torture. This sets a fuse burning between Carver and Bond, but at the end of the movie, Bond's love for Paris is replaced with Wai Lin.

Behind the scenes Carver is based largely on real-life media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who supports mainland China's stance against freedom of speech. Keith Rupert Murdoch AC, KCSG (born 11 March 1931) is an Australian born United States citizen who is a global media executive and is the controlling shareholder, chairman and managing director of News Corporation, based in New York. ...
He is also based, in part, on deceased British media magnate Robert Maxwell, who died in mysterious circumstances on his luxury yacht and who is believed to have committed suicide (though some believe he may have been assassinated).

Carver, in announcing his hypocritical 'Declaration of Principles' on the abortive inaugural broadcast of his news network, is also reminiscent of fictional newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane, who in turn was based on real tycoon William Randolph Hearst, whose famous quote "You provide the pictures, and I'll provide the war" Carver paraphrases to Bond on his stealth ship.
