Ugh, I do have to admit that it doesn't 'sound' right to me either. And when he says, 'It's picking up life form'. You don't even hear that he says ... picking up "A" life form. It just sounds like he's saying 'It's pickin' up life form'. What? LOL edit: he is talking about Idris Elba's character when Prometheus lands on the planet. It kinda sounds like he has a lisp. TM5

I'll try and not take too much offense at your reference to a "silly American accent" and answer your question. Firstly, Idris's Elba accent is impeccable, while starring in The Wire practically no viewers knew he was English. Secondly, The US is the biggest and most important market for this movie, the audience need to identify with the ship captain for his role to work. Its about commerce. Question for you Musab, why do you think David uses a fake English accent instead of his native accent? Did you even notice?

One thing I will hate about this movie if as the rumors are true and this turns into The Thing in space with a bunch of Norwegian hooligans running around trying to clean up their English...

I was hoping Elba's character would retain his native London accent too. Shame. Maybe not gung-ho enough eh?

but is the fault of the norwegians ?? The fact that other nations actors submit themselves to talk in english should be viewed as an act of courtesy ( and to be able to work ) ..not to a lack of skills . And anyway hearing norwegians talking a perfect english would have been a bit silly .Accents , languages and even errors ( me !! ) are part of the sharing of cultures , lets not fall into provincialism . Regarding Janek ..i think that first they did write the character and then they did search the actor ... so i dont see the motive to complain .

Feel free to bash Elba's attempt at a real southern American accent. I agree, it is pathetic- at least the parts of it that have been released so far. The comical aspect of this is his failed attempt, and not the actual accent. Just don't make fun of the real thing, nor the Americans who actually have it. WE are not amused. We think you sound funny too, but we have the decency to keep that opinion to ourselves.
