When  plans began to adapt the novel as a motion picture, the original  thought was to do a straight film of the novel.

The confrontation with Le Chiffre in  the casino, the plan to discredit Le Chiffre with SMERSH and the  villains execution by enemy agents are all in the novel. So is the  notion of Bond writing a book on baccarat, and the element of Vesper  being an enemy spy. Reportedly, Eon Productions has been trying to  buy back the rights to Casino Royale for years, in hopes of someday  making a serious Bond film out of the novel. Despite being regarded  as a "flop" financially in the press, the film actually did quite  well in financial terms. Despite its very high production budget and  additional costs in marketing and advertising, it still managed to  make a net profit of well over $5 million for the studio. The film  was generally reported as a failure financially in the press because  it was outperformed at the box office by the official Bond film  _You Only Live Twice (1967)_ (qv), which was released in the same  year, and because of the films high costs.

The BBFC guidelines  for 18 rated works state that the Board may "cut or reject... any  detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts which is likely to  promote the activity" (page 16). The Boards guidelines for violence  also state as particular concerns "callousness towards victims,  encouraging aggressive attitudes[and] taking pleasure in pain and  humiliation" (page 9).

('67302','speed maneuvers, a specially designed camera was  attached to a Mirage 2000 aircraft which then tailed the star  planes as they flew, for only another Mirage 2000 could actually  fly at speeds that matched the planes being filmed. The traditional  film camera, which was specially constructed with lenses facing  forward, backward, to the side, and downward, was installed inside  an empty fuel pod and built by Dassault, the aircraft consortium  which constructed the Mirage 2000. Using a digital HD camera had  been considered early on, but because of its size, it was simply too  large to be squeezed into the tank. Because of space requirements,  the pod camera could only hold 4 minutes of film, which had to be  specially shielded from the elements and sealed in an airtight  compartment to prevent the pressure and temperature differences at  altitude from damaging it. In addition, the camera could not be  controlled by hand, as it was located within the tank, nor could it  be controlled electronically by wire, as the tank had to be easily  detachable from the plane so it could be swapped from one Mirage  2000 to another on refueling to prevent the daily shooting schedule  from falling behind. Thus, a special radio control system was  devised, so that the pilot of the Mirage 2000 could activate the  camera at will. However, this too had many problems to work out, as  the radio frequency could not interfere with the regular operations  of the aircraft, nor could it possibly jam air'),

For tracking shots where  using the Mirage 2000 camera was not practical, a Lear jet was flown  in from Southern California in the United States, and used for about  a week at great expense. Due to all these concerns and  complications, director Gérard Pirès and his aerial photography team  had to carefully plan each shot with storyboards, something the  director normally does not do. However, he said in a question and  answer session after the films screening on at the City of Lights '),
('67305','  City of Angels Los Angeles Film Festival on April 7th, 2006 that the  time limitations on the film actually did not hinder production, as  they required thought and economy towards the shots being attempted,  and also as the Mirage 2000 plane itself had to refuel every 45  minutes. The director took great pride in the fact that he was able  to use this camera to capture the incredible look and feeling of  flight, without resorting to using the computer to manipulate his  images.'),
('67306',' Working in cooperation with the French Air Force, director Gérard  Pirès was able to get some of Frances top gun pilots to do the  aeronautic dogfights that were used in the film. Initially at the  start of the shoot, the Air Force had some particular rules  regarding the minimum distances the aircraft could be together or be  above the ground, but by the end of principle photography, the  daring pilots got permission to bend the normal safety rules, thus  allowing them to do maneuvers normally never seen (or possible)  outside of actual combat. By the final days of filming, the initial  minimum distance the pilots could fly above the ground (500 feet)  had dropped to a tiny 10 feet, and the distance between the planes  in the air (a varying range, usually of several hundred feet) had  been reduced to a minuscule 3 feet, thus allowing some amazing shots  that could otherwise never have been pulled off.'),
('67307',' Because of the strict rules prohibiting jet aircraft (and in  particular, fighter jets) from flying over Paris airspace, director  Gérard Pirès got permission to shoot the films climactic final  sequences over Paris on only a single day, Bastille Day (July 14th),  with an additional rehearsal day on July 12th. Because of bad  weather, the July 12th rehearsal had to be canceled, thus forcing  the crew to rehearse and film everything over a critical few hours  on the 14th. Although all of the most important shots were achieved  on the 14th, a small propeller plane was brought in for some  additional footage of the ground later on, and the film was sped up  by 4 times to match that shot by the Mirage 2000 camera perfectly.  In addition, all of the footage shot from the ground of the planes  during the final sequences was filmed on Bastille Day, the only time  in the entire year that the French government proudly displays its  military forces in the capital. The military parade shown in the  film is the largest in France held on Bastille Day, and it is held  on the Avenue Champs'),

('67313',' The final duel between Little Wolf and Red Shirt was shot on the day  that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.
