I read some article about this movie a while back. It said the main villain is modeled after a combination of (Jewish)French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Tony Blair:roflI thought that was pretty funny, and the actor who plays the part is a Jew too(but I think he plays the part of a Frenchman in the movie:rolleyes:Too bad a Jewish villain would be realistic at least!). He said he looked to Sarkozy and to a lesser extent Blair for inspiration for the character because he said he thinks Sarkozy is like a real life Bond villain LOL:p       Amalric said he modeled his character to some extent on former Prime Minister Tony Blair and French President Nicolas Sarkozy.  I've been taking details, the smile of Tony Blair, the craziness of Sarkozy, he's the worst villain we've ever had, he said.
