    Goodness me, can this be a real movie? And such a major cast OMG what were their agents all thinking some kind of collective lapse of common sense in hollywood?

    Whatever about the other's accents wtf is jamie dornan doing this man is from ireland. You'd think he never visited the island before going by his attempt an irish accent

    I think he got the accent right and I would know more lads sound like that then people with Dornans normal voice.

    This movie will probably make a bucket load as softcore porn for international fans Normal People and Fleabag. Having lived abroad for years I'm for any movie that gets women wantin to hop up on an ugly yoke like me just cause he sounds like some TV priest or one of the Weasleys

    For some reason, that Trailer made me laugh so much - haven't laughed so much at something since pre-Pandemic !
    Looking forward to watching this with a few glasses of Wine.

    Sure my parents still have that type of phone, as I'm sure loads of others do.

    I never knew I wanted to hear Christopher Walken attempt an Irish accent until now.

    Oh man even better when you Google it. You get a version by "The Priests" that looks like something out of Father Ted

    Also have a look for the original play and Debra Messings accent

    I googled and when I saw the image I immediately thought it was from Father Ted. Only you mentioned it was The Priests that I looked again.

    I keep thinking the background is gonna burst open like the Rugged Island Eurovision song.

    If someone had told me there was a band named The Priests I would never have thought they were actually priests

    Ah, the Priests have been around a while. Though looking now, I thought they were before 2008. Usually see/hear them being mentioned around this time of year, for some reason. :)

    Sometimes I think we don't realise how the accents in the irish countryside really sound. Take for example these boys in the Dail , whom if anyone from outside the island was watching might think some these guys slept in the fields.

    Im pretty sure I've heard Irish people living in Ireland with far worse accents then those in that trailer!

    i think there's a big difference between strong and varied irish accents (nobody has ever denied this) and made up/poorly researched accent efforts that dont actually exist

    this trailer is full of the latter

    Jeez, what do they have on Emily Blunt that she's in this? She seemed cannier and in higher demand than this - unless this is like Underwater and was shot years ago, simply moulding on the shelf.

    Jamie Dornan keeps appearing in total crap, guy seems a good actor but must have a terrible agent.

    does Walken dance at some point, that's the important question.

    The only saving grace is that they didnt force Don Draper to eh, Don an Irish Accent. Normally love Emily blunt, but this looks horrendous.

    What's Doran thinking for A. that accent of his, B. not telling the cast how stupid their accents are and WTFing the director, and C, basically questioning the whole bloody thing.
    Is he getting enough money to quietly laugh to himself and dialling it in. But that doesn't even make sense given how he'll be received as a result anyway.
    Maybe with him being from the north he's on an Orange Order mission to undermine and laugh at the Republic.

    Why is an Irish man putting on an Irish accent?

    id say that since fifty shades dornan is phoning in whatever work pays, hes got a good professional attitude that way

    his work in the fall and the siege of jadotville alone shows he can both act and do a tricky accent if called for

    Emily Blunt is a decent actor no?

    This must have had a solid budget for actors' pay

    Yeah, he can turn in good performances, but his work ethic and standards must be decent enough to not turn in such a bizarre performance, unless directed to be more Leprechaun-y.

    Also what's with her face?

    Did they slap on some fake tan so as to make her look like she doesn't wash her face?

    You know, like all normal country womenfolk!

    Was his accent in Siege of Jadotville not a bit ropey as well?
    Its a few years since I've seen it but have a feeling it was.

    Yes it was. He can't do a authentic sounding southern accent just as many down south can't do a good northern accent.

    I thought it was a sketch for the first minute or so.

    It's not cool for them to take use false stereotypes to the piss out of people of Asian or African descent any more. But Hollywood don't know any better. Hence this steaming pile of dung and the equally bad "Emily in Paris". Expect they will work their way through the whole EU over the next few years.

    They were already Walken a fine line without adding that to the mix

    I assumed at first this was something that was shot about 10 years ago and was only getting a release now because there's nothing new to release. Then I saw it was only filmed late last year!
    I'm shocked at Blunt, to be honest. Dornan, not so much. I don't think he's a very good actor to be honest. People loved him in The Fall but I think that role just suited his extreme lack of facial expressions and monotone delivery.

    Anyway, this smells big time of Leap Year. Another Oirish film where Ireland was made to look like it was permanently stuck in the 1950s.
