Why Benedict Cumberbatch Is An American Grinch And Not A British Grinch

Why Benedict Cumberbatch Is An American Grinch And Not A British Grinch

While he has a major presence in front of the camera, Benedict Cumberbatch has also lent his voice to CGI and animated characters in films like The Hobbit, Penguins of Madagascar and Andy Serkis' upcoming Mowgli. Next up for the actor is his role as the titular character that is cuddly as a cactus in The Grinch. Benedict Cumberbatch will be using an American accent and not his natural British one, which was a choice he made when approached about the role, as he explained:

It was out of the ordinary until they said, 'Oh, could you do it in your own voice?' And I went, 'Oh, right, I have played some other socially awkward, talented, but at times very rude English characters. So now I kind of get why they might want me to do that.' I was really flattered, and then I just pushed back and said, 'It has to be in an American accent from my point of view.'

So this latest depiction of the Grinch wasn't originally intended to have an American accent. When he was approached about the role, the filmmakers wanted Benedict Cumberbatch not so he could create some voice like he did with Smaug, but for his natural speaking voice. Benedict Cumberbatch understood what they wanted from him based on his other work and what they were going for, but he wanted to go in a different direction.

As he told Uproxx, he has played rude and socially awkward characters with English accents before, like in Sherlock, for example, and that seemed to be what Illumination and Universal had in mind. That instinct makes sense given the fact that the Grinch is a rude hermit who wants to ruin Christmas, and the studio knew Benedict Cumberbatch could deliver on that approach.

The actor didn't want to do that though and felt strongly that he should use an American accent instead. As to why he felt that way, Benedict Cumberbatch elaborated:

There were too many questions about this character. Why is he green? Why is everyone else sort-of/kind-of not green? And why has he got fur all over him and why haven't the others? So I don't think he should be English as well, but I thought just not thematically a bad guy. You know?

The Grinch already stands out from the residents of Whoville because of his fur and green coloring. He basically looks like a different species from the Who. Benedict Cumberbatch saw the English accent as just another thing that would have made him different, and for the actor, that would have been one thing too many, so he pushed to use an American accent instead.

Rather than sounding like the stereotypical English villain or some Ebenezer Scrooge-like curmudgeon, Benedict Cumberbatch's Grinch will have an American accent. I'm not sure about where Whoville is exactly located, but it sounds like most of the residents will have American accents based on Benedict Cumberbatch's comments and a voice cast that includes American actors Rashida Jones and Kenan Thompson.

Benedict Cumberbatch's American Grinch squares off this weekend with Lisbeth Salander in The Girl in the Spider's Web and Nazi Zombies in Overlord. The Grinch is tracking at solid $50 million to $60 million, which should be enough for the holiday movie to win the weekend.

Check out our holiday movie guide for all of the movies headed to theaters the rest of this year, and for all the latest in not judging the king of sinful sots by his accent, stay tuned to CinemaBlend.

Christopher McQuarrie Reveals The Issues Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol's Script Initially Had

Christopher McQuarrie Reveals The Issues Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol's Script Initially Had

Christopher McQuarrie publicly lead the charge on the last two Mission: Impossible movies, Rogue Nation and Fallout, as both writer and director, but he actually first contributed to the spy franchise by making an uncredited rewrite of Ghost Protocol's script. Production was already underway, but McQuarrie's changes resulted in the story blending much better with the existing action, and he also overturned the fate of Michelle Monaghan's character, Julia Meade. McQuarrie recalled:

The screenplay was, the action was mostly there. But it was there in ways that were part of a story that wasn't integrated into the action. When I read the script, the big things were: You didn't know what was in the suitcase, you didn't know what was in the envelope, you didn't know what the villain was doing. This was all a mystery in the movie. And Michelle Monaghan was dead. Julia's character was really dead.

Julia Meade-Hunt was introduced in 2006's Mission: Impossible III, and at the end of that movie, she and Ethan Hunt left on their honeymoon, and there was no indication that Ethan would return to being a field agent. But at the start of Ghost Protocol, Ethan was back in action like before, and Julia was said to have been assassinated. It wasn't until the end of Ghost Protocol that it was revealed that Julia was alive and well, with Ethan having faked her death as part of a plan to give her a new identity and to get him into the prison where we found him at the beginning of Ghost Protocol. But had Christopher McQuarrie not come aboard, she truly would have been gone from this world.

As for why he made sure Julia Meade was still alive in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Christopher McQuarrie felt that it was necessary to ensure that movie was functioning at 100% effectiveness. And by reversing her fate, that also led to giving Jeremy Renner's character, William Brandt, a different backstory, as his need to stay away from the field was originally attributed to the death of two other individuals. In McQuarrie's words:

And I came on board and I said, 'Look, there are two things going on. 1. Emotionally, if Julia is dead, no matter how this story turns out, I'm sad.' A hundred means you're at 90. Because no matter how well Ethan wins, he's carrying this failure that they've alluded to throughout the movie. You've got to let the audience off the hook tonally -- in Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible -- you've got to let them off the hook. The other thing that was going on was Jeremy Renner had a different backstory. His character of Brandt was still the agent that was now an analyst, but the reason he couldn't go back into the field was he had hesitated and his hesitation had led to the death of two nameless agents... I said, 'First of all, let's try to integrate Tom's story with Jeremy's story so that Jeremy's story is actually relevant to the movie. Right now it feels like there are two movies happening.'

Christopher McQuarrie also noted in his interview on the Light the Fuse podcast that in the final cut of Ghost Protocol, the idea that Julia was even dead wasn't brought up until William Brandt mentions it approximately 70 minutes into the movie. Ultimately, because he's not a fan of the 'mystery box' trope, McQuarrie's approach was to take every thing that was known and make it unknown, and vice-versa, resulting in Julia's fate being Ghost Protocol's only major mystery. Clearly his alterations paid off, as Ghost Protocol was met with critical acclaim and made over $694 million worldwide.

The latest entry of the Mission: Impossible film series, Fallout, is now available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD, and if there is any news regarding Mission: Impossible 7, we here at CinemaBlend will be sure to let you know about it. For now, you can plan your visits to the movie theater this year accordingly by checking out our 2019 release schedule.
