* TroubledProduction: More on a financial side than a production one. A tighter schedule and smaller production wound up having the opposite effect that Disney wanted. Rather than cutting costs compared to the last film, the budget ballooned up and made this the most expensive film ever made (adjusted for inflation), with a total expenditure of $410 million, exceeding ''At World’s End''’s formidable budget by over a hundred million dollars. Adjusted for inflation, it holds its record, beating massively expensive epic events like ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' and ''Film/JusticeLeague''. To say Disney’s plans to reduce this film’s costs backfired would be an understatement.

* FollowTheLeader: Sort of a crossed example. After the success of Spanish swashbuckling TV series ''Series/AguilaRoja'', another company decided to try luck with a pirate-themed series appropriately named ''Piratas'', and they gave the main role to Óscar Jaenada for his work in ''On Stranger Tides'' (where he plays The Spaniard).

It's a relatively little-known fact about the production, but it ties to some interesting behind the scenes material and gives an idea of the different direction the mermaid-human interactions in the movie could have gone with.

Added DiffLines:

** The mermaids were initially designed to be much less human in appearance. [[https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/005/211/909/large/aaron-mcbride-mermaid-fullbody-approved.jpg Concept art]] depicted them with longer tails, all-black eyes, fish-like features, long, seaweed-like tendrils for “hair”, a veil-like membrane covering their bodies, and no clear distinction between their “human” and “fish” halves. The shift to a more traditional, half-human half-fish creature design happened fairly late in the production; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfuLqQ6xWHs according to]] the art director and VFX supervisor on the film, producer Rob Marshall decided the designs were too extreme after the film was nearly in its completed form. That said, the original mermaids do survive in some form: there are [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5e/08/e6/5e08e6b9b86f519458cecb0eeda2c8c0.jpg storyboards]] detailing a more drastic transformation for Syrena after she slips out of the tank, and the “mermaid corpse” [[https://morphologyfx.com/movies/pirates-of-the-caribbean-on-stranger-tides/#&gid=1&pid=4 props]] used for the scene in which Barbossa and his crew find the dead mermaids on the beach follow the original concept.

* ActorInspiredElement: Creator/JohnnyDepp was deeply involved with the story design, frequently meeting the writers to show what he was interested in doing, and in the words of Rossio, being "involved in coming up with story lines, connecting characters, creating moments that we would then fashion, shape and then go back." Among Depp's suggestions were turning Phillip into a missionary and having a Spanish contingent following the protagonists.
