Not surprised he laments not overdubbing Depardieu's lines, he's near impossible to make out in many scenes!
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movie ... 236049190/Do you have a specific shot from all your films that you’re the most proud of?
The opening shot of Los Angeles in Blade Runner, which I think is terrific — go **** yourself, Pauline. Usually it’s linked with a sound and that sound is linked with the guy I just adored — [the film’s composer] Vangelis. I also worked with Vangelis again on a film I’m very proud of, 1492, with Gérard Depardieu. The problem with Gérard is he doesn’t speak very good English and I didn’t have the heart to say, “Gérard we need to [re-record all your lines].” I’m trying to resurrect 1492 because it’s so beautifully shot and acted and scored. I’m trying to resurrect it as a four-hour [movie] for a streaming platform. Now if I asked, “Gérard, can we ADR you with Kenneth Branagh?” he’d probably say, “Yeah, of course.”
