From the beginning , first scene, they are somewhere in Asia. Where they have been living for years. Main character Maya, speaks with perfect Londoner British accent. It's so frustrating to watch! How is that possible?! Why are all these new British actors allowed these days to keep their accent? I've watched Anthony Hopkins and Christian Bale for over a decade in different productions. They've never used their British accent. I blame it on the producers.
I live in London and I can precisely recognise the accent. First of all, I'm sure that many of us wouldn't find attractive to hear people speaking with their local accent in the movies they watch. Secondly, the accent as the facts, costumes, etc have to be historically accurate. It would be impossible for someone or highly improbable, to retain their original accent even if they work born in UK but lived in America, Asia etc for a long period of time. You either lose your accent or it becomes more suppressed/ muted.
Please stop these lazy productions and make actors put in a little effort to change or dampen their accent. Thank you.
