She's from London….
MovieChat Forums > Need for Speed (2014) Discussion > WORST BRITISH ACCENT EVER!!!!
The actress is British. She's not even putting on an accent. You do realize there's more than one British accent and the one you usually hear in movies spoken by Americans isn't really the only one there is?
maybe its cus shes a terrible actress

Better than anyone in your family will ever be.
shareWatch The Look of Love or 28 Weeks Later and you will be proven wrong.
shareI'm from England and believe me I do work with a good few people , male and female who do actually talk like her, so no, I dont feel its put on.
But then I think if most Americans heard me talk I dont think they would understand my accent at all being broad Cockney from East London.......
Awight maaaaaaaa suuuuuuuun!!!
As an american who's spent a decent chunk of time around most parts of london, england in general, Wales(lol they think they're their own country, it's so adorable), scotland and ireland, you are completely correct. I can't understand almost any of them.
share"Wales(lol they think they're their own country"
No idea where you got that from!? I'm over In Pentre Halkyn, North Wales, so I'm pretty sure that we're not our own country. What we do find tiring is when someone, from abroad anywhere, asks where I come from I reply 'Wales' They immediately respond with,
"Ahh Englaaannd!"
Just no.
I know I'm a bit late to this particular comment, but from your comment I gather you're Welsh? If so you should know that Wales is indeed its own Country.
You mean a mockney.
"you are already dead"
I don't get how Blade Runner pertains to this at all.
shareIt's a signature block, or sig. Welcome to the internet, where sigs are commonplace.

Lol I read your comment and it pissed me off a little bit, then I saw your signature and I was like instantly calm. :D
shareThere is something about her which is irritating that's for sure. That accent is the pretentious public school one, but it could be a lot worse.
The extreme is easily distinguishable, it can only be described as someone speaking with a mouth full of marbles. Harry Enfield mimics it perfectly.
Those who say she is putting the accent on well Camilla Parker Bowles her with head of horse, (the one married to jug ears Charles) went to the same school as Poots.
I thought the film was shyte anyway, she only added the steaming heap.

Her 'Englishness' was definitely enhanced in this film. The constant jabs at her accent and supposed snobbiness was a little annoying. If you compare her accent in this to some of her earlier British movie work, there's a noticeable difference. Seems like the director got her to talk in a stereotypically 'English' manner.

Imogen? She is British you moron.
Hey son! Over here! I'm over here. At the banyan trees.
Imogen Poots accent is not put on!?! she is English, surprised she was in this bilge as she has been in better films i.e. Look of Love
shareI just came in to say that she sounds English to me but then the op is hardly going to have an educated opinion given that he thinks that there is such a thing as a British accent :S
shareNo such thing as a British accent. Its like saying someone has a European accent lol.
Unless someone speaks English, Irish, Scottish and welsh at the same time.
As a Londoner living in America I have to disagree. There is such a thing as a British accent (to Americans) although us British would know it as a Posh Accent.
That's the one they hear on the telly all the time. That's the ones they hear the Royals talk. That's the one that Roman & Greek noble-folk speak in movies & tv shows for some unknown reason.
And many Americans seem to think that anything close to a London accent is actually an Aussie one & you can't convince them otherwise.
Mainstream Americans don't get accents or nuances in other nationalities or even other States.
Unfortunately I won't know about the actress's accent in this film as I'd rather have my eyes gouged out with a blunt spoon than watch it.
I can't understand most people from the south in the states.

"No such thing as a British accent. Its like saying someone has a European accent lol.

You take the piss out of the OP and you think ireland is part of Britain?An Irish accent is not a british accent.
Did the poster really need to add "Northern" to be understood?
You can tell my family in Belfast they aren't British. See how that goes.

So there is no such thing as an American accent then remembering different States have different accents.
You can have an English accent which is English, and you can have a British accent that might be Scottish, English, Welsh or Northern Irish.
Just FYI, England has different counties, some of these counties have different accents.
I am from Sussex myself and it used to have a accent in the region but has become more generalized.
If you go to the westcountry, Cornwall, Devon and others, it has its own unique accents which are all English and British. share
Do your research next time you try to post something moronic on this board
