From the Wikipedia article on the upcoming Odyssey movie.
The trailers were criticized for several cast members, including British actors Holland and Pattinson, using American accents and contemporary American English dialogue.[113][96][118] Hibberd called this decision a "striking departure from the unwritten Hollywood rule of characters in historical epics employing British accents".[113]I think this is one of the most outlandish criticism of a film I have ever read. People are angry that the ancient Greek mythological characters aren't speaking with a modern British accent? The modern "British" accent wasn't even in use in Britain 400 years ago.
