It's based on the real world we live in

Exactly.

Ahhh..but that's what they want you to think!

If it was based on a real story, we would never know about it. Right?

I've always wondered if the film makers, in general, have to do something with the authorities if they are making a movie that include real agencies, like MI5 in this movie or MI5 in Spooks (MI5) TV series? Do they just go ahead and make the movie and write at the beginning of the movie "The characters in this movie are fictional" and that is it?
This Closed Circuit movie, what does MI5 think about it or they don't need to say anything because the characters are fictional?

Well, they could tell you, but then they'd have to kill you ...
