Eh?
In what is probably
my favorite "fantasy" film,
this one, the main actors have British accents because that happens to be where most appear to have come from.
Is there really a conscious effort to "Anglicize" the fantasy genre, or is that just a perception? Do filmmakers actively seek out British actors for certain types of movies? Somehow, it doesn't seem like a worthwhile pursuit for such a nebulous goal as adding "loftiness" to a production. Maybe it's more luck of the draw.
