Quentin Tarantino won’t cast British actor for next film: “It’s just all these British actors pretending to be Americans”

[MischievousMonkey]

Yesss! Keep these untalented uglies out of Hollywood. People are tired!

Have you read what you quoted? He's saying they're very talented

 

[get these nets]

He don’t like the way they say the n word so he can’t cast them in his films

Yeah, he's the wrong guy to be co-signing.
Unless dudes have amnesia.

 

[Matt504]

He's right.

Probably true. I mean, listen to their nonsense pronunciation:

Spoiler

 

[AnonymityX1000]

Bullocks. Some limey bloke will be screaming out the n word in his new shıt.

And talk about how they went into the deep south and a couple of Klan rallies to be as authentic as possible. lol

It goes in cycles - all through the 40s, 50s, 60s American actors were doing the 'transatlantic' accent.

As with anything else - market forces. Tarantino can cast whoever he likes, hes an auteur but these big studios don't care about what hes saying.

Its acting at the end of the day. I don't want to end up in a world where the greatest actors can't play the greatest roles just because they didn't grow up in the same town as the character.

I guess you can only play a role if it’s in your nature… That’s kind of weird

But there's also been hundreds of cases where regional-specific accents took viewers completely out of movies.

It really changes depending on the side of the coin the industry is on. Now it seems to be cast a British for any American role. The counter being why would you cast as such, when there are more than capable star American actors ready for that role?

 

[Ozymandeas]

I agree. They not casting us in Downton Abbey and Belgravia.

They're cheaper, at least until they reach A list status. I think thats the bottom line.

It might be because a lot of these British actors are doing these flat accents.

Tarantino has been doing these period pieces lately where that won’t fly. Pitt didn’t sound genuinely southern at all inInglorious Basterds but it didn’t sound wrong either. It sound like Foghorn but it worked in a way a lot of these British actor can’t do.

Isn’t this a “thing” in the industry though. I remember reading about some black American actors being frustrated by it. But again, to everyone else’s point, start acting as good as Kaluuya and you’ll get parts.

is he supposed to be some phenominal actor?

 

[MuzzyP]

I agree with him

This. More jobs for 'Muricans!

 

[Devilinurear]

Bullshyt
He casted whoever he wants for year including British actors (Tim Roth).
