The director mentions Sean as the biggest reason for this.
The producer was in the courts every day so the oposition could ok what they were doing and not stray too far from the book etc. I remember reading that in the fanzine Bondage back in 1983 but the way they spell it out on the DVD makes me wonder how they could have coped with that kind of pressure and also I wish they would have made the film they wanted to make and just not call the hero James Bond.
They would have gotten the funding they needed and help with the end result.
The producer however, wanted the challenge.
I still have my issues with NSNA, and as it turns out, so do the makers of the film as they honestly say in the documentries.
I have to agree that the opening sequence should not have had the theme song laid over it as one example.
At any rate I highly recommend getting the DVD because in this version I got at Cosco for only $8.99 included a Blu Ray disc as well!
