If we're gonna talk about accents, I think they should be completely new or strange sounding, because these people presumably grew up somewhere else, not on Earth, in new mixed communities or colonies. Something that was done better in The Expanse, I think. A South African accent sounds different and unusual enough for most, if it has to be something from Earth, and fits well in many sci-fi movies. Maybe because it is derived from precisely such a mixed racial and cultural environment.
By any sensible measure you’re right, of course, but for me personally, in certain genres of film, it can work the other way and pull me right out of the moment.
Brian Glover in ‘An American Werewolf in London’? Fits like a glove.
Brian Glover in space? Did he mistakenly believe he was boarding the Number 6 bus to the Bingo?
Regardless, we all know that an all-British crew being stalked by a Xenomorph would be picked off easily, while carousing around corridors mid-session after necking the Nostromo’s entire stash of ‘Knob Creek’ in one night.
Arlene, or something sounding like thatBritish accents? Like John Hurt and Ian Holm from that 1979 movie, the name of which escapes me..... It was filmed in England, with a British crew, had a British director too. What was it again?
And, what does this movie look like if watched on VHS?
Yes, I hear you scream, it would look better on Betamax

In the 1975 Dr Who Story The Sontaran Experiment they did exactly that by using actors with African accents to give them an off world feel as Earth had been abandoned for thousands of years and it works very well....
I think the last time a major film came out on my birthday was "Terminator 2 Judgement Day"
Just caught up on the accents convo. Lol.
I just want to add that although I kinda agree with @Lenny Nero about new accents in an world like this it can also ruin the film. (However especially with District 9 - the South African language/ accent was perfect - but it worked because it was still on earth) but in space, nothing beats a British accent. It just works. I know Ripley is the main in Alien and her American accent works along with some of the other crew, and the Crew in aliens worked too but brits are perfect for space. Can’t explain it. It just does
Or at least a mix of British and American, like sunshine or event horizon

They're pouring butter in it, but if they put discs in that head, it'll 'magically' become a $200 limited edition...
What they don’t know is that the excess butter drips through the mouth
Yeah and as it drips through the holes in the mouth it's state becomes as strong as molecular acid and eats its way through hulls of ships.
Can’t wait. Still dying to see Longlegs. My local isn’t showing it I’m gutted. Trying to avoid everything on social media about itDamn! That looks wicked as hell.About to look to see if I can buy a ticket already.
Just bought a ticket for the early showing on Thursday the 15th on IMAX. Can't wait for this, I'm so stoked to see this.
