It also seems to be the norm to have ancient warriors speaking with an English accent, i.e. Maximus (Russell Crowe), Alexander (Colin Farrell), the cast of Troy, etc. <BR/><BR/>Therefore, since Gerry Butler will be King Leonidas, I will have to assume that instead of a Scottish accent he will be speaking with an English accent which he is more than capable of doing.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>JohnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030641784768414848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897863.post-1129932832021942982005-10-21T18:13:00.000-04:002005-10-21T18:13:00.000-04:00Hi John, I had written you yesterday, but I think ...Hi John, I had written you yesterday, but I think I forgot to publish my message. Anyway, it is my understanding that all will be using UK accents. I definitely think the actors should not use American accents even though it is an American film. Somehow Brit accents add more authenticity to the film. I googled Rodrigo Santoro yesterday, and it seems to me he is rather young to play Xexes plus he has a Spanish or Portuguese accent. He has appeared in many foreign films. IMO Xerxes in the graphic novel looks like a Dennis Rodman. Sorry to keep harping on the graphic novel, but the square word boxes are the narration, no? I had heard that King Leo. will be doing the narration (voice over) for the story. I'm assuming that would be Gerry as King Leo. Have you heard?<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
