When watching the series, fans of the books may be surprised to see that Gamache speaks with an American accent \u2013 despite Penny\u2019s suggestion in the books that he speaks an English accent, mirroring Molina\u2019s own.<\/p>\n
Speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Molina was asked about how a decision was made on Gamache\u2019s accent for the upcoming series.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cWe went through all kinds of thoughts about it. I felt that I didn\u2019t want to try and do an accent that was completely foreign to me. I thought there\u2019s no point doing a French Canadian accent. A, it\u2019s a very hard one to achieve, but also it would suddenly become a thing<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n Molina acknowledged that this differed from how Gamache is described in the books, saying: \u201cIn the books of course, Louise suggests more than once that because of his education at Cambridge he speaks English with something of an English accent.\u201d<\/p>\n However, Molina explained the decision, saying: \u201cAs we were kind of doing the bartering between \u2018How do we turn the book into a piece of television without losing too much of the book?\u2019, I think the decision was a very practical one.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was, \u2018Let\u2019s give him a kind of mid-Atlantic accent that\u2019s going to fall easily on the ear and it\u2019s not going to make people kind of go, \u201cWhere does he come from?\u201d\u2018 That was one less obstacle to place in front of the audience and its willingness to suspend disbelief.\u201d<\/p>\n The first season of Three Pines is comprised on eight one-hour episodes, with every two episodes adapting another of Penny\u2019s books. There\u2019s also a mystery which runs across the series and sees Gamache come face to face with both the failings of the institution he represents and his own demons, as he uncovers the dark truth behind the disappearance of 18-year-old Blue Two-Rivers.<\/p> Molina also spoke with RadioTimes.com<\/strong> about the prospect of his Doctor Octopus appearing in the MCU<\/a> once more, after his character made an appearance in 2021\u2019s Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/a>, 17 years after his debut in Tobey Maguire\u2019s Spider-Man 2.<\/p>\n The actor didn\u2019t give anything away, but instead simply said: \u201cI can neither confirm nor deny.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Three Pines will arrive on Amazon Prime Video on Friday 2nd December 2022\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0you can sign up now for a free 30-day Prime Video trial<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch in the meantime, check out our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>, or visit our dedicated\u00a0Drama<\/a>\u00a0hub.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.\u00a0<\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to the<\/strong>\u00a0Radio Times View From My Sofa podcast<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n By James Hibbs Published: Thursday, 01 December 2022 at 12:00 am In his new Amazon Prime Video series Three Pines, Alfred Molina plays Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, the detective created by author Louise Penny for her long-running and best-selling series of mystery books.
