Its not revenge. Like us
Americans, you guys just can't capture the accent.
Being a Brit that has lived in the states for most my life, I can do both accents flawlessly - making it fun and easy to mess with all manner of ignorant folk.
This conversation just recalls me to something inadvertently coincidental. In Francis Ford Coppola's
Bram Stoker's Dracula (which is, I'd like to note, the only vampire movie I've seen and liked since the original Nosferatu
) they did the same thing.
The main characters, who were supposed to be British, were played by American actors and
bad American actors at that (Reeves, Ryder). This is of course with the exception of Gary Oldman who did a smashing job playing that Dracula fellow. All the secondary characters, who were Americans and Germans, were played by Brits - and they did a better job in their petty roles than what little acting talent Coppola could muster out of Keanu and Winona combined!
So I guess Vampire movies run the misplaced acting racket.
Tom Waits played an awesome Renfield though. I can't wait to see his role as Satan in Gilliam's new film.
