Speaking in a recent interview, director Martin Campbell spoke out about the tough parts of creating a genre-bending Bond movie for the ages.
At first, he touched upon the poker aspect of the film, and admitted: “There was a lot of [card] playing in it. It was the thing I sweated on more than anything else.”
Fans will recall the incredible sequence which sees Bond and Le Chiffre spending hours in a high-stakes Texas Hold’em game, betting millions of dollars at a time.

It is also important to note that Bond was given an enormous £10 million by the British treasury in order to get close to the terrorist Le Chiffre.
The entire scene is thrilling, however Campbell was keen to point out a big error.
After triumphantly defeating Le Chiffre in the extensive poker scene, Bond tips the dealer – a plastic card worth $500,000.
The director noted that this detail always amuses him.
Many actors have been suggested – from Tom Hardy to Sam Heughan – however, Star Wars actor John Boyega was recently asked if he would join the franchise in an interview.
When the suggestion was brought up, Boyega yelled: “Ooh!” before adding: “Hey, listen.
“[With] Steve McQueen directing? Let’s do this.
“We can show them something different – we [would] still bring that sophistication – James Bond has to be James Bond – but we could do something with that.”
Boyega has been working hard since the end of the science-fiction series’ third trilogy.
The 28-year-old recently appeared in Red, White and Blue, directed by the aforementioned Steve McQueen.
James Bond No Time To Die is due out in cinemas on April 2, 2021.
