Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The town of Spectre was built on a real Alabama island that was later abandoned; Burton left it standing as a tourist curiosity.
This was Burton's first film without Johnny Depp in 12 years — McGregor was cast specifically for his 'impossible sincerity.' The river scene finale was shot in a tank because the real Alabama river was too polluted.
