Remember when Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler were painting the town red last winter? They were filming F. Gary Gray’s Law Abiding Citizen and production company Overture just announced that the flick will hit theaters Fri., Oct. 16.
From the press release:
After the screening for Butler’s recently released The Ugly Truth, former CP listings goddess Monica Weymouth and I both agreed that the movie’s biggest failure (among many) was he had to speak with an American accent, rather than his natural Scottish one. Come on, guys, don’t detract from the sexy! Maybe Butler’s character wouldn’t have seemed so one-dimensionally misogynist if sounded prettier. I figure he also toned down the brogue for LAC, but maybe hearing Butler pronounce it “woodah” will help the proceedings.
