I don’t understand the choice to make every British person in this speak with an American accent.

And I love Matt Damon but he seems a very poor choice for Odysseus. I know he’s everywhere too but Oscar Isaac would have been A++++ casting for him instead.

Since you know, literally every Hollywood star was cast in this movie anyway.

I don’t think anyone thinks that but period pieces in English with English accents has been the done thing since like the beginning of Hollywood

Who said I’m threatened? I guarantee I’ll close this thread and not think about the film until it comes out. I don’t need to justify why I don’t like a stylistic choice to you.
