Looks terrible

Yeah, but that is part of the lure for me. I'm terrible.

Why would anyone cast JK Simmons as a Brit?

Why would anyone cast JK Simmons as a Brit?

Because all the Brits seem to be hogging up all the good American roles

[Strat]

This looks fantastic. Snowy mountain town murders! Im in!

[Anders]

They are not British. It's a story about a Norwegian detective in Norway, and the movie is filmed on location in Oslo. They are talking English because it's for an international audience.

I mean, why not?

[LoathedVermin72]

I mean, why not?

Because he sounds terrible with an accent

[run2death]

I tend to love Scandinavian detective shows, movies and books, so I'll give this a shot for sure.

[Anders]

Really no point in talking with a British accent, unless they want everyone to have a somewhat similar accent so it doesn't distract from the plot.

Because the people in the movie are not British.

[run2death]

Then why on earth is JK Simmons using a British accent?

This is like Gladiator all over again!
