Kate Beckinsale with a southern accent?


Who else was impressed with Kate's southern accent besides me?

reply

I guess that kind of impressed me although I was more impressed by her other qualities ;)

what other qualities impressed you?

Yeah it was weird to see (hear) her with that accent, but she's always been quite good at doing accent in my opinion.

the moment I saw her in this southern accent I was like "at that moment they decide to cast her as the woman with this southern accent, that's the moment the movie is destined to fail"

She's definitely not the person that comes to mind when it comes to southern accents, as a matter of fact, she's one of the last few people that pops up in my mind

Sounds like your not the type to be impressed by talent.

Some southern actresses can't even pull off a good southern accent, and she had to deal with her British accent to do it. Kate is by far, a terribly underrated actress.

I liked it, but I felt like she lost it in a couple of spots. there were points I couldn't pick it up at all and then it came back.

A southern accident is one of the easiest accents for a Brit to do you know. We all sound like that to them anyway. Really, ask one. Look at Tracey Ullman.

"accident" a pun? I do agree, You Brits (correct?)have pulled off some southern inflections. I am a Southerner.

Having grown up in the south, her accent is NOT a "Southern" accent. It's a more generic "country" (or perhaps in her case, trailer trash?) accent. Since the movie seems to take place in California based on the area and the California license plates on cars, that's not a Southern accent.

Accent or not. She is hot!

I was impressed; she pulled it off quite nicely.



And a little help comes in a little glass vial and a gun pressed against her anatomy.

Not southern. Trailer trash accent.

Same thing.

It was mediocre. Of all the available actresses who are genuinely southern in Hollywood to cast as a southern accented waitress, they chose someone from England? Oh, please!
