Don't forget zombies!
 * LOL Actually, I was talking about thinking "I knew we wouldn't get too much from the book..." at the time of the film's announcement way back in 2009 - where we didn't really know how much of the book was going onscreen. At that time, the only thing revealed was what Terry Rossio stated in the first interview I linked above. Until we saw more about the film, all we knew for certain that was in it was Mr. Beard and the Fountain. If memory serves, we didn't know 100% that there were going to be zombies until Jack_Sparrow_Comic-Con_2010_Greeting_*Official*, which was made during filming in 2010 for fans(ahhh, I remember the first time I saw it lol).

''Also, although it was not in OST (SPOILER), Elizabeth swinging the dress when she was on the Edinburgh Trader resembled Shandy swinging the corpse of Hurwood so he could signal his uncle. This made Powers if his book was the inspiration of Elizabeth's sneaky act.''
 * Aye, that was a weird coincidence...at least if the writers haven't read the book by that time. lol
