Robert Pattinson put a rock in his shoe before takes. He spun in circles to make himself dizzy. For the drunk scenes, he actually made himself vomit.
The Lighthouse was shot on the North Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, in wind so loud that director Robert Eggers said you could not hear someone standing five feet away. Pattinson and Willem Dafoe were soaked for weeks in real conditions, not simulated ones. Dafoe was buried in wet sand with dirt thrown in his face.
Eggers shot it on actual 35mm black and white film in a nearly square aspect ratio he called "a stupid aspect ratio." He built a working lighthouse 70 feet tall on site specifically for the film.
Pattinson said it was the closest he had come to punching a director.
It is on Max.
