The shows boasts four Bond alumni: Timothy Dalton, played the titular character; Eva Green, who played Vesper Lynd - a Bond girl; Helen McCrory, who plays Clair Dowar MP; and Rory Kinnear, who plays Tanner.
The séance back-bending scene was filmed in three different segments: the first was on set with Eva Green standing on the table; the second was filmed in a studio where the actress bent her body as far back as the stuntmen deemed safe; the third was Eva bent all the way back in a contraption - the last were filmed in front of a green screen. The post-production team then combined all three segments into one.
