Perhaps that speaks to the bigger issue in Hollywood of not having as many foreign actors representing other parts of the world as they should. However, this also isn't the first instance of actors using fake accents. There are many instances of actors using fake accents, both from American to foreign and foreign to American. This is no different.

Why is Hollywood obligated to hire foreign actors? It is an American film industry, so they'll hire American actors if they want to.

These are some of the best actors in Hollywood; they will get the proper training and coaching to make this work as best as possible. But it's so nice to know we have a ton of clairvoyant vocal coaches on GGD :vegas:

 

You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love.

They're not obligated to do anything, but it would be awesome if they hired foreign actors/creatives so that non-Hollywood films/TV shows could get more recognition. 

Hollywood is American, but it participates in a global market. This isn't like Bollywood where 99% of their films and TV shows are directed solely to and for Indian audiences.

If you watched The Assassination of Gianni Versace, you should know that it's not cringe at all if it's well done, it actually makes the acting better. And we're talking about an amazing cast with most members having italian roots.

Gina Gershon (an American accretes) does a pretty good Italian accent in the "House of Versace" even though the movie looks super cheap.   

Here's how she sounds in real life.

This thread gave me a headache :toofunny:

I understand being nervous for her performance but why on earth do some of you think speaking in American accents would be better for this film?

Obviously the most accurate thing would be to have them speak in Italian but since that's not going to happen, speaking in English with the Italian accent is the next best thing. It's a compromise.

Stumped as to why some of you don't see that. :huh:

the accents in this movie and the pairing of gaga with that giant dude from star wars...I can't imagine this will be a good film lol. But I hope I'm wrong.

Why are some of you bringing up Gaga's Italian descent as if that will help her nail it? You know Italian-Americans don't have an inborn genetic authentic Italian accent, right? :sweat: Lol we sound like whatever American locale we grew up in, we aren't any more or less adept at learning an Italian accent than anyone of any other descent. Maybe if she was the child of first-gen immigrants, she would have been exposed to spoken Italian at home growing up, but that wasn't the case for her. So "but she's Italian-American!" sounds like such a funny illogical argument to me.

I also wonder WHICH Italian accent the different cast members will have. There's waaay more than one Italian accent, same as how there are many different American, UK, Spanish etc. accents.

I'm willing to wait and see before I make a judgment call on how bad or good a choice this is. But I am a bit nervous! We will see...

 I wouldn't trust him very much, as he's a poor director imo

Imagine if they didn’t do accents. You would likely have Jeremy Irons (British) doing an American accent playing an Italian 😂
