On the long-awaited season finale of "GOT," eagle-eyed fans spotted two small anachronistic instances in the form of plastic water bottles. more
In one scene on a ship in the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" film, a person who appears to be a crew member can be seen standing among the pirates in a historically inaccurate white T-shirt and an out-of-place cowboy hat. [links]
The error somehow made it past the editors and into the initial airing. It was later digitally removed, but not before it caused quite a stir online.
The Civil War began in 1861 and digital watches were invented about a century later. [links]
As the film series has continued on, they’ve moved further away from referencing the attractions.
This reportedly led to Depp improvising the catchphrase “Savvy” and the dialogue about eunuchs, and coming up with one of the film’s closing line “Bring me that horizon” the morning of the shoot. here
Though the series hasn't had a critical hit since The Curse of the Black Pearl, the franchise has continued to be a box office giant — grossing over $4.5 billion collectively and making it the twelfth-highest-grossing film franchise of all time.
According to the actress, it got to the point where she was constantly having to dye her hair for different roles that it was causing serious damage. In behind-the-scenes footage for Dead Man’s Chest, Knightley can be seen sporting a short haircut of her own, which no doubt made wearing a wig that much easier. [links]
Production was also put on hold when Depp badly cut his finger, which was rumored to have occurred during an altercation with his wife. [links]
The majority of The Curse of the Black Pearl was shot in St. Vincent, a volcanic island located in the Caribbean that provided the filmmakers with the serene beaches they desired. here
The sheer number of screenshots I've collected while playing Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's life is staggering. As it stands, I've taken a ridiculous 134 pictures while playing and replaying these new Tall Tales. It was next to impossible for me and my crew to make our way through these phenomenal stages without stopping to take seemingly endless pictures alongside the amazing assortment of virtual props. I couldn't help but be taken aback by how visually remarkable moments like the reveal of the Black Pearl were. For me, this obsession with video game photography doesn't carry over to any other title, which is a testament to just how incredible Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's Life truly looks.

The motivations for established characters like Davy Jones as well as newly introduced ones like the Siren Queen are clearly demonstrated in these Tall Tales, even for players who've never seen the films or played the game previously. Obviously, there are some major easter eggs and nods for fans, and if you're up to speed on both Sea of Thieves and Pirates of the Caribbean, it's a pretty special thing to behold. For Sea of Thieves veterans, it's tough not to have a massive smile on your face when seeing Jack Sparrow tease and taunt characters like The Ferryman aboard the Ship of the Damned.
These locations essentially serve as your very own virtual pirate amusement park, complete with scenes and dialogue taken straight from the classic Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Imagine being a bright-eyed child with endless imagination experiencing the Pirates of the Caribbean ride for the first time. Now, imagine you have the freedom to get out of the boat and wander this fantastical attraction molded by childhood fantasies at your own leisure. That is in essence what Rare has successfully achieved with Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's Life. If you have fond memories of Disneyland's famous attraction, this will be a nostalgic treat, and if you've never been, you get an opportunity to experience something arguably better than the real thing.
Everything in this scene is there to remind us that this world exists to serve the celebrities, and by everything, this also includes the props. here
Much of the set dressing in Amazon’s The Boys acts as branding opportunities for the Supes. In some instances, it takes cues from Greek and Roman art. After all, the Supes are meant to be modern gods.
Both of these characters are at work, and when you compare their costumes, you get an immediate sense of their identities. This wardrobe contrast illustrates the different lives they lead without a word. You get visual contrast that builds and reinforces narrative contrast. more
That’s because a large part of production design is reading between the lines and searching for every opportunity to tell a story through mise en scene, production design, and scene elements. here
The Boys is about an ordinary young man named Hughie. He’s living a simple life, working as an AV specialist for a quiet electronics store.
