Trivia: Actress Anya Taylor-Joy had become good friends with director Robert Eggers after they made "The Witch" together. Taylor-Joy has said she begged Eggers to be in "The Lighthouse" so they could work together again, and wanted to play the mermaid. Eggers told her she wasn't right for the part. Taylor-Joy then jokingly exclaimed that she'd "play a seagull" if it meant she could be in the movie. Needless to say, that didn't happen. (Although she was in Eggers' next film, "The Northman.").
