Colin's accent

Rating: 2/10 (25 November 2004)

At the Q&A after the pre-release screening in Los Angeles (November 14) Colin spoke in his usual charming Irish brogue liberally sprinkled w/the F-Word (and was asked to repeat his answers cause he couldn't be understood)...however, in the film he speaks in wt is called "Standard American" dialect. Trust me, I know cause I'm a dialect coach--not on this film--but others. Colin does not use "English", "British", "Irish" or any other kind of accent in Alexander except "Standard American"...same as he used in Tigerland & Phone Booth, etc.
So please...once & for all...if you think you heard Colin using an Irish brogue, you are mistaken. A dialect coach is listed in the end credits. [For the record: Angelina said she was attempting to use a Russian accent. No one asked her why.]
I have no comments on the film itself...it will self-destruct w/o any of my opinions.
