Was it an easy ‘shoot’? If there were difficulties what were they?
There were a few Minor and Major pot holes. One of them were when he was that when he fell off the train, he fell in a diagonal direction but in another shot it was shown that he was falling straight down. A major one was that Silva's plans didn't make sense. You can click the link below to read Silva's plan.

Were there tensions between any of the creative personnel, often known as ‘the talent’?
There was some tension of when David Craig had a bisexual scene in the movie. Many reports went out that David Craig was gay, however, he claimed that this statement wasn't true. Some audiences questioned why they put this sexual tension in the 23rd franchise.

Was the film shot within budget?
Their budget was between $150 million to $200 million. So they were just on their budget. Heineken paid £45 million to have their company advertised in the new 007 movie.

I tried to research if there was any issues with budget, however, I didn't come across any. They did everything within their budget.
Were there any changes to the script during production?
When trying to research any changes to the movie, no results came up. So from the booklet and the internet there are no traces of any changes.

The same scriptwriter did stay on board at all times as the scriptwriter had some input in the decisions that were being made whilst this was being filmed.
