So apparently in The Counselor – that Ridley Scott-directed drama that’s literally only made $15 million since hitting US theatres – Cameron Diaz plays a character called Malikina, the girlfriend of a gangster (played by Javier Bardem). She apparently had a strong ass Bajan accent that producers decided was far too strong once the film hit post-production, so she had to re-record everything.
From The Hollywood Reporter:
Diaz, whose character has a relatively subtle Barbados lilt in the film, originally voiced it with a full-on Rihanna-style accent — but Fox execs blanched, forcing her to dub her work later, much to her chagrin. Not that it helped the film’s prospects.
LOL, this movie seems so weird – this is the same one in which she apparently has a scene where she has sex with a Ferrari. I dunno, go figure. I’m not sure what’s worse: this movie or the upcoming remake of Annie in which she’s playing Miss Hannigan.
That being said, I don’t mind Cameron Diaz (and she’s now on Twitter!) and I suppose this could be worse. Here’s the trailer – what do you think? I sure wish Cormac McCarthy would stick to writing books.
oh my, she is looking very toad-like here… : |
