In "oh yeah I heard about this bc I love Emily Blunt oh god oh no" news, this trailer came out (yesterday?) and was clearly overshadowed by the announcement of Bloodshot 2

Leap Year walked so Wild Mountain Thyme could run headlong into a wall.

Matthew Goode was so Fucking hot in that movie i wouldn’t have cared if he tried to do a Swedish accent

[sarahvma]

I find Matthew Goode very attractive but he looked like someone's unemployed cousin in that movie.

He always makes me think of Beaker from The Muppets. His head is the same width as his neck and it’s unsettling.

Oh boy.

Given that Jamie is Irish... maybe it’s supposed to be bad? Like the whole trailer looks ridiculously low budget is it a parody?

[sarahvma]

I mean, he's Northern Irish so it's still a different accent. And... country.

Sis, he's Irish afaik , whether he might have a west belfast accent or not doesn't mean he isn't Irish. Let's be nice here and use the right terms, I wouldn't want to offend anyone here

[sarahvma]

He was born in Holywood, which is in Northern Ireland. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong but I've always heard that he was Northern Irish which is (rather infamously and historically) a different country to the Republican of Ireland, which is where this film is set.

[caramelaffair]
