Context Trivia / EmeraldCity

Go To

1* ActorAllusion: Frank Morgan is shown with a book about Orson Welles, who [[Creator/VincentDonofrio Vincent D'Onofrio]] physically played (with the voice dubbed by Maurice [=LaMarche=]) in ''Film/EdWood''.
2* CaliforniaDoubling: Much of the architecture of the eponymous Emerald City is lifted directly from Barcelona. Anyone casually familiar with the city will notice Gaudi's work, most notably scenes taking place inside Park Güell.
3* CastingGag: Creator/FionaShaw getting cast as Mombi, Tip's WickedStepmother, isn't too far of a cry from Aunt Petunia from the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' franchise. For those who've read the original books, both characters also really wanted to be witches. She also played the wicked aunt in ''Film/JaneEyre1996.''
4* FridayNightDeathSlot: Poor ''Series/EmeraldCity''. It didn't help that it went through DevelopmentHell and was cancelled in production before [[SavedFromDevelopmentHell it came back,]] but it was saddled with the infamous slot, causing its rating to be crappy. The result? Cancellation after ten episodes. [[CultClassic The ever-growing fanbase]] are calling for the show to be moved to {{Creator/Netflix}} or another streaming service, and some are even calling for a second season to be made as the show was [[LeftHanging cancelled on a cliffhanger.]] Even Creator/AnaUlaru, one of the actors of the show, would be happy for a second season. Sadly, we may never know of the show's fate, but it might as well be dead for good.
5* FakeAmerican: Brits Creator/GinaBellman as Karen Chapman and Gina [=McKee=] as Jane, [[OohMeAccentsSlipping which can be fairly obvious.]]
6* FakeBrit:
7** Germans Creator/FlorenceKasumba and Mido Hamada as Mistress East and Eamonn respectively.
8** Romanian Creator/AnaUlaru as Mistress West.
9* TroubledProduction: Originally, it was announced in 2014, but was {{cancelled}} in 2015 before it began filming. THEN in 2016, it was UnCancelled and began development again.
