Just noticed on IMDb that they've added Neil Swain as a dialect coach. Don't tell me the film is actually going to attempt to have the characters speak in a Maine dialect? That should be interesting...
Also, I see where the film has jumped up to #408 on MOVIEmeter, based mostly on reports that it has begun filming. That jump hasn't translated to many of the actors, though, because, with the exceptions of Depp, Moretz and Heathcote, their rankings have fallen. Heathcote enjoyed the biggest STARmeter jump, from 4,248 to 2,531, but then she has the much lower ranking. Moretz jumped from 121 to 73. And Depp jumped from 12 to 4 - though a great deal of that is naturally attributed to Pirates.
(And I swear I'm not the person who posted on the film's message board about how much they love Stan Hywet Hall and think it's a perfect example of Tudor architecture. (
My Dream Collinwood (or would we really want "purely American" 1790s architecture
) That is simply another person with great taste in houses.
