Anthony Hopkins southern accent


Why did he use his normal strong British accent when he was suppose to be an elderly judge from the deep rural south?

'Cos he's Anthony Hopkins, playing Anthony Hopkins playing a southern judge. Seriously, the guy was just in the film for a paycheck and to add class to the film by virtue of his reputation alone. Having said that, he was still the best thing about the film.
