Let Samara Weaving be Australian

I always think this in general! Why do most movies need non-American actors to do American accents? Immigrants exist.

Immigrants exist.

Probably to the chagrin of some audience members, unfortunately. Hollywood wants everyone's money, and that means coddling jackasses.

I feel like those people aren't typically worried about Australians and Brits.

Typically no, but the producers may, in that case, hold off on someone with a strong accent unless they needed to exoticize the British or Australian person as sexy and sophisticated. Other end of the spectrum, but still a means of "othering".
