I love thrillers and I am so going to look forward to this film. I'm also curious how Emma is going to pull off the Minnesota accent. I must admit I thought her acting was great in Perks, but the accent was not as good as I would hope. It was too stressed and unconvincing. However, she's probably gotten more training over time. Hopefully this will be different.

She's probably improved a lot.
Also since she's been practically living in the USA for quite some time now, she might have been able to pick up the American accent better.
I'm sure she'll be better!

WOOO YEAH!~ BRING IT!

[Ashley]

Haha I'm so excited for this film!

What do you mean by "the American accent"?  There is no singular American accent.  That said, I don't think she'd ever pick up on a Minnesotan accent by residing in NYC.

you could learn any accent by listening to it and working with a dialect coach or whatever they're called.

Exactly and especially in New York City and and brown because there are literally people from every state that go there

That's odd.  Where do you see anything stated about working with a dialect coach in Ashley's comment?

Well, since Emma's been attending Brown University (Rhode Island) she might've mastered their accent (a.k.a Eastern New England accent). However, they are different compared to Minnesotans (a.k.a Upper Midwest accent). We'll just have to wait until the trailer comes out and see.

um, sup with that?! me and ashley didnțt argue or anything, everybody's friendly, as bagel of death mentioned, we'll have to wait and see what she sounds like in her character, first of all ashley didn't mention anything about a dialect coach I DID. ashley and I are excited to see more of this, and I know for a fact, emma had/has to work with one coach for finding the character's voice for the filom, hence she's british. I responded like this:

because I truly believe that.  Peace out. Helen out.

Minnesotan accent? I hope not . She just needs to stick with a generic Midwestern.

I'm not really going to focus on the accent as long as she sounds American/Canadian instead of British. I mean it's really silly to do that. I have a Southern accent but I sound nothing like Paula Deen when I talk but that still doesn't mean she or I aren't Southern. Unless someone really lives in that area or is Saoirse Ronan it's almost impossible to do a perfect accent. It's like the song "Hey Brother" by Avicii...a lot of people I know don't like it because they say he's trying too hard to do a Southern accent and they can tell. But I love the song and I personally know people who speak with a strong accent like that from certain areas nearby...so to me focusing too much on such a simple thing could take away from what is essentially a great story/song or what have you. I have no idea what a Minnesota accent would sound like so I think only a person born in Minnesota would be affected by this. My main focus is the hopes that this film is great and that Emma's acting in it is great and if "The Others" is anything to go by then this film is going to be Awesome IMO. Ex:
