Nolan had wanted to shoot on IMAX cameras for years, and this was his chance - The Dark Knight became the first non-documentary feature ever filmed with them. Only a handful of sequences got the full IMAX treatment, but it set the template for how he'd shoot every Batman film after.
During filming, Tom Hiddleston asked Owen Wilson if he'd ever played Hamlet, a nod to Hiddleston's own stage background. Wilson joked that nobody, not even his old collaborator Ben Stiller, had ever asked him that, though he did rattle off the opening line of The Two Gentlemen of Verona for good measure.
Everyone assumes the Gant Bridge is a Golden Gate clone, and it is, but the Garver Bridge over in the same area is actually modeled on the Forth Road Bridge near Edinburgh. Makes sense once you remember a big chunk of the dev team was working out of Scotland.
Sean Bean genuinely hated flying, so instead of taking the helicopter to remote mountain locations like the rest of the cast, he'd spend up to two hours climbing up the mountainside in full costume every morning just to avoid it.
Ubisoft rolled out a new facial animation process for Revelations called Mocam, blending traditional keyframe animation with performance capture. Game Informer likened it to what L.A. Noire was doing, though the side effect was that returning faces like Ezio, Altaïr and especially Desmond looked noticeably different from how players remembered them.
Drake's Fortune picked up nominations across the board in its debut year, including a nod for Best PlayStation Game at the Spike Video Game Awards, a technical achievement nomination at the BAFTA Games Awards, and a Best Original Adventure Game win at the NAVGTR Awards.
Shortly after launch in 2014, players discovered a cave in the Skywatch area of the Cosmodrome where low-level enemies respawned almost instantly. Guardians lined up to farm it for easy Engrams and XP, turning it into one of the most infamous grinding spots in gaming history before Bungie patched it out.
There's a wonky-looking bird nest that's one of the rarest items in the game, and it can't even be obtained normally anymore since the trade route for it got discontinued back in 2016. Years later Jagex tried to give it a proper high alchemy value and instead accidentally updated its x-rotation, so now it just spins weirdly in your inventory.
At one point there was a scene inside the Soul Stone where a teenage Morgan Stark, played by 13 Reasons Why's Katherine Langford, tells her dad it's okay if he doesn't make it back. It's a mirror of the Thanos-and-young-Gamora scene from Infinity War, but it ended up on the cutting room floor rather than the final film.
The recasting announcement didn't go down well with a lot of fans, and Liam Hemsworth reportedly stepped away from social media for roughly a year to avoid the pile-on before his first season as Geralt even aired.
