I don;t get why film/tv are always so sh*t at accents or is it just that
it doesn't really impact on box office takings so they just don;t bother trying to be too accurate?
Its surely not that hard to do a Norfolk accent with the minimum amount of research and a bit of practice or indeed find an actor who is from the relevant place if its not the main role.
Have seen the trailer referred to though and it looks like it may be a good film even though i am not really into wrestling. Got a good cast and liking the old Norwich shirts in evidence.
Even in the excellent Churchill film the fact you could hear Oldman's cockney accent throughout slightly did my head in.
