Confused about the accents? Are these people from Kentucky?


Hello there. I read this was a UK film, but that seems odd. Why does everyone have a British accent in the trailer?

Seems to me that they'd have Midwestern accents since the University of Kentucky is in the Midwest and all. Are they supposed to be foreign exchange students or something?

They look awfully old for being in school, so that doesn't make sense either.

Thanks for the help!

Think this is meant to be set on mainland Europe? Explains why they're Irish I guess

reply

they're Scottish by the way of Colombia. I heard some spanish affectations. Must be all that blow.

Irish? Is that in Europe?

Well, it's off the east coast of Europe, so it's basically the same thing. The film was set in Inverness, after all

reply

I thought it was set in Leith? It was in the book anyway.

Yeah, the Welsh side of Leith. Do you not remember the scene with the Berlin Wall?

Lol, I have to admit, I don't.

Learning disability?

I went to Unaversity of Kentucky. Where'd you go to school? I bet you went to one of them community colleges and they learned you a trade.

I guess you're joking, but you should really watch Trainspotting 1.

reply

Please please tell me this post is a joke. The majority of actors in this film are Scottish. It's based in Scotland, hence Scottish accents.

reply

I couldn't believe the comments either...people need to research before asking questions!

reply

Well why does everyone say this is a UK film then?

And if they're scottish, then how come they aren't wearing kilts? I thought it was a law there.



I am the prophet of the IMDb Mod Gods. They act when I call.

reply

Because Scotland is part of the UK...
No we don't all walk around wearing Kilts, only on special occasions like a wedding.

or if you work at John O Groats lol

You really should learn some geography.

They learned me geography good at UK.

I can probably identify about 35 different states without seeing their names on a map.

Most 10 year olds could do that.
