The Lighthouse (2019)

Continuity mistake: After being buried alive, Wake returns to attack Howard with a pick. There isn't a speck of dirt on him.

Trivia: The movie was filmed in a full-frame aspect ratio and in black and white in order to help put the audience into the film. The aspect ratio was chosen in to make the film feel more confined and closed in. And it, along with the black and white filmstock, also helps the film feel aged and older.

Trivia: Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson barely spoke and essentially never hung out during filming. Although it was not for some method acting reason or anything like that. Filming was very hard due to the extreme conditions, and they simply were too exhausted to chat most of the time, instead choosing to conserve their energy for filming. They eventually got to know each other after filming had wrapped.

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.").
