c.
The criminal organization revealed as QUANTUM in this film, which was active but unknown in the previous film
Casino Royale
, is something which producer
Barbara Broccoli
has revealed to be intended to be an ongoing and regular foe of James Bond, much like SPECTRE in the early Bond movies of the 1960s. EON Productions, which produces the series, allegedly do not own the rights to the name SPECTRE due to a legal settlement with
Kevin McClory
.
d.
Despite the fact that there have been many other Alice in Wonderland films,
Tim Burton
has said he never felt an emotional connection to it and always thought it was a series of some girl wandering around from one crazy character to another. (In fact, the original books are part of a once-popular fantasy genre in which the character does nothing except wander around from one crazy encounter to another. Those films which replicated this were being true to the spirit of the original books.) So with this, he attempted to create a framework, an emotional grounding, which he felt he never really had seen in any version before. Tim said that was the challenge for him - to make Alice feel like a story as opposed to a series of events.

Roger Corman
s "Poe" films. He had intended to do "The Masque of the Red Death" but felt that it was too close to the content of
Ingmar Bergman
s recent
Det sjunde inseglet
(US title: "The Seventh Seal"). Several years later Corman would go to England to make
The Masque of the Red Death
.
