Sir Michael Caine was approached by Writer, Producer, and Director Álex de la Iglesia to play the lead role. Jeremy Irons was also considered for this part that, ultimately, went to Sir John Hurt.
The "Bormat's Last Theorem" that is solved in the movie, is a reference to Fermat's Last Theorem. Like Bormat's theorem in the movie, Fermat's theorem was widely considered to be (one of) the most difficult problems of the last three hundred years. It was solved fairly recently (in 1995 by Andrew Wiles). It was solved using elliptic curves, and the proof was first demonstrated at Cambridge. Like the proof of Bormat's theorem in the movie, the proving of Fermat's was a very big deal in the world of number theory.
During the initial introduction between Martin (Elijah Wood) and Mrs. Eagleton (Anna Massey), they speak about her replica of the German Enigma cipher machine. Mrs. Eagleton states everything was done manually to break the Enigma messages. She also states, "there were no computers in those days (World War II)" and "calculations were done by hand." Actually, the British, working in Bletchley Park, did build a computer, called "Colossus" by January 1944. Colossus was constructed with up to twenty-four hundred vacuum tubes, and programmers used approximately one inch wide paper tape to store programming. By the end of the war, Bletchley Park was using ten Colossus computers to break various German cipher machines, including Enigma.
(At around one hour and eight minutes) Professor Arthur Seldom (Sir John Hurt) dresses as Guy Fawkes for Guy Fawkes Day. In V for Vendetta (2005), a fake V removes his Guy Fawkes mask, revealing himself to be Adam Sutler, played by Sir John Hurt.
Filmed in nine weeks.
"Arthur Seldom: The only perfect crime that exists is not the one that remains unsolved, but the one which is solved with the wrong culprit"
"Arthur Seldom: There is no way of finding a single absolute truth, an irrefutable argument which might help answer the questions of mankind. Philosophy, therefore, is dead, because whereof we cannot speak, thereof we must be silent."
