 The project was originally entitled "Licence Revoked" and teaser  artwork was produced with this title. Among the reasons for changing  the title was to avoid confusion with the 1981 James Bond novel,  "Licence Renewed", written by John Gardner (who ended up writing a  novel based on this film as well). It has also been widely reported  that a survey revealed that fewer than 50% of Americans questioned  knew what "revoked" meant.
