‘Boston Accent’: ‘Probably directed by Ben Affleck’
Whats awards season without a Best Picture contender filmed in Boston?
Though Johnny DeppsBlack Massmissed the mark this year, Seth Meyers has cut to the quick of what academy votersreallywant to see in a parody trailer forBoston Accent, a film probably directed by Ben Affleck.
The trailer has it all: The politician with the upscale, Kennedy-pop in Boston accent; the townie who says the word bro in every sentence; the hardnosed detective played by a British actor whos trying his best but doesnt quite have it; and one actor who decided at the last minute not to do a Boston accent at all.

The film has already received rave reviews, including fromVanity Fair, which describesBoston Accentas a tour de force of dropped Rs and a brilliant showcase of the words wicked and pisser.
See the full trailer below, because where else will you encounter themes of Southie and loyalty and all that other Boston stuff explored in film, other than countless times before?
