It was used in "Casino Royale." The outboard engine was replaced with the drop tank, and the inboard engine pylon has *two* engines side-by-side like a B-52 engine pod, but with modern turbofans. The cockpit section was digitally replaced, but the stupid engine/fuel pod setup was needed for closeups.
