No, I think it's hard to sell most Americans on a non-American war stories. Everyone speaking with a British accent = arthouse. {nm}

THR on Peter Jackson: [DAMBS] "too English" on the back burner. He won't direct again before the end of 2010 at the earliest. Antibody Nov 09, 16:11

"too english"? translation: "too smart for dumbass short attention span americans" islander Nov 09, 16:19

I think it's more that American moviegoers (generally) are more interested in movies with American characters/stars than English - see U571 {nm} RogerMore Nov 09, 16:30

K19 is another example. {nm} Antibody Nov 09, 16:47

filmmakers have to risk it that a good film will win out regardless of setting or accents. otherwise we're doomed to nothing.. islander Nov 09, 16:42

It's probably what studio is telling PJACK. "Can you make one of the pilots American?" or PJACK should find British financial backers. {nm} Antibody Nov 09, 16:45

valkyrie did ok. as did basterds. {nm} adrenalin112 Nov 09, 17:57

Basterds were Americans, which did much better than Valkyrie, which were Germans. {nm} Antibody Nov 10, 10:12
