Why has Angelina Jolie got a Russian accent?


English / American accents in Greek period dramas don't suspend my disbelief, but Jolies strange accent belonged in a Bourne movie

She was a Princess from Epirus, a Greek kingdom on the north west coast. Her accent is to show that she is neither from Macedonia nor regular Greece, while still of Greek blood and culture.

The Irish accents were just as bad, Stone probally thought Kevin Costner's Robin Hood was awesome!
