this guy will be playing Scottish hero and king, Robert the Bruce.... Can he even do a Scottish accent? But can Americans even spot whether someone is not doing a Scottish accent well? Thoughts?

bump
>>87324305
last bump then fuck it...
>>87324305
Generally American accents are easier to fake. Americans are fairly bad at faking European accents. Probably due to consuming less foreign media.
>>87324305
I'm actually an extra in that film and was shooting a funeral scene with him. He didn't actually have lines though so I couldn't tell you. I will say, his American accent was actually quite subdued when he was talking to the cast and director. He might be alright. Or it could be a highlander standard fuck up lol
>>87324305
Should've got Richard Madden

>But do Americans even care whether someone is not doing a Scottish accent well?
ftfy
>>87325576
I was going to be an extra in that... got injured tho and had to pull out... Fucking pissed.
>>87325574
because people in the USA are used to lots of weird accents and we just assume that someone from Cali to New Orleans to Minnesota will sound different.

Embarrassing. Saged.

richard is a bit young I think..
>Robert the Bruce
>Scottish accent
kek, the real question should be can he do a French accent?
>>87325768

>>87324305
Holy shit Robert Bruce? They're going to fuck this up so bad.

well his family originally came from France but he himself was a Scot
eh I like Pine but I wouldn't bet on it. Of course it'll sound inauthentic to a native though
>>87325949
It's a shame that a native wasn't hired... But who?
>>87325574
This is true.. they won't be able to tell the difference
>>87325574
Scots and Irish accents are by far the hardest to nail. I think it's because most people have this silly idea that they want to be understood when they say something.
>>87325748
It's a bit of a pain in the arse desu. We went to Linlithgow castle to shoot though, that was quite cool.
>>87326235
fuck... feel pretty shit.. but good on you bud. enjoy

why the fuck did I think Karen Gillan was short
>>87324305
Id say majority won't care enough to tell if it's bad. Unless it's completely terrible like Keanu's British in Dracula.
>>87326414
Any Americans here able to understand that?

>>87327000
That Cosmo nigga was already in Braveheart.
>>87327000
he doesn't even look remotely scottish
>>87324305
Will the film be portraying William Wallace as an anarchist rebel and all around monster to the British or will he be portrayed in more favorable light ala Mel Gibson's version?
im only watching this if they put a trans POC in the film
>>87327674
If Wallace is in it... He'll be portrayed as the hero he was. but not sure if he'll be in it..
>They have based Tony Curran but fucking Chris Pine is heading a film on scottish history
Why didn't they just hire James McAvoy or Gerard Butler? They're both famous enough and in the right age-range to pull off the character.

wow a midget and box office poison, sorry lads (((the people))) have chosen, I mean spoken.

scots are all manlets anyway, especially ones from the middle ages
He can't even make a good Kirk. Not worth the time to dignify an actual reply to this thread
>>87328134
I'm a northern Scot.. And we are traditionally quite tall... I'm 6'3'' and the smallest in my group of friends and the smallest of my brothers.. So I think you've got some bad info.
>>87328271
Fella can act tho..
>>87324305
As long as they sound like Scotty or Sean Connery i'm cool with it. Don't be so snooty senpai

Calm down son. I know you've never made a faux pas.. But that's because you're just a great all rounder. How's mum anyway.. is she still always getting pumped?
>>87329723
Big McKidd... he would have been better
>>87324305
who cares robert de bruce spoke french and gaelic anyway, it's not like speaking english with a scottish accent is accurate
>>87330247
I care if I have to sit through a movie and listen to an accent being butchered
>>87330559
yeah it would be better if he just stuck to his own accent really
