Haven't seen this one yet, just checked out the trailer, but WHY ON EARTH do Hollywood films always use English accents for any period piece, regardless of where it is set? Troy, The Mission, Enemy At the Gates, etc. It is SO distracting.
Approximate number of movies I've seen in the theater: 83. -

Faking accented English would be even more ridiculous. They should use actors who speak the proper language, but they insist on drawing from a limited pool of actors, and a lot of people refuse (aren't able) to read subtitles.
