Making Love Scenes of 50 Shades of Grey Movie in Vancouver Street

When you take an erotic novel and adapt it for the big screen, add an NC-17 rating to it and two actors, who are uninhibited, you get a movie that will have love scenes. But when you want to see love scenes acted aesthetically on the big screen, trust Sam Taylor-Johnson to wield the director’s mantle. The erotic novel by Erica James which has inspired the movie adaptation will be released on the 13^th of February 2015. The movie is famed to have many love making scenes and if you have already picked your favourite and want to know whether it will find a place in the adaptation or not. You just have to wait for a year or so before the film finally releases.

The date of the release has been pushed back to 13^th February 2015 as it had to battle sudden cast changes and entries and exits when it was in the pre-production stage. TV actor of the series, ‘Sons of Anarchy’, Charlie Hunnam was first chosen to play the role of the BDSM loving dominant billionaire, Christian Grey. But as he left the project citing date issues, the role went to Irish actor of the TV series, ‘Once Upon a Time’, Jamie Dornan. The role of Anastasia Steele is being played by Dakota Johnson. Both Dakota and Jamie are uninhibited in their approach to play the roles of Grey and Ana. Dakota had read out a sexually explicit scene from the movie ‘Persona’ by Ingmar Bergman.

Jamie has said that he has been brought up in a liberal environment where the sexual aspect of love does not scandalize him. Dakota too feels that the novel offers a great love story and a little bit of sex makes it even better! Among the loves scenes that have already grabbed headlines, the most talked about is the scene where Ana, the virginal beauty loses her virginity and the boathouse scene, where he makes love to her in the boathouse as a punishment for not informing him about her decision to go to Georgia to visit her mother. There is also a whisper that the actors might appear in the nude and that the film will have two versions, one is the explicit NC-17 rated version for the real fans, and a toned down version which will be for audiences below the advisable age.

The team of the movie has started shooting in Vancouver and in the two important scenes that the lead actors have shot, their chemistry is pretty evident. The first scene to be shot was the contract scene. In this scene, Grey hands over a contract detailing the terms of their sexual alliance and as they leave a cafe, Ana almost kisses him. But it turns out to be more like a peck on his cheeks. The second scene in question is the one where Grey saves Ana from an oncoming biker and they again almost kiss. As he pulls her into his arms, he looks deeply into her eyes, but they don’t kiss. That looking deeply into her eyes convinces him that there might be other feelings brewing in his heart. So, after all Erica James has given us a love story!

'50 Shades of Grey' Insider Spills Juicy Details of First Day on Set

We have heard of the saying ‘morning shows the day’ and if that is anything to go by, we have a lot to look forward to in the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ movie adaptation. The first scene shot in a coffee shop outside the purported building housing the Grey Enterprises, the telecom company owned by the self-made billionaire Christian Grey, showed the protagonists enjoying coffee in an informal setting while exchanging the contract. Hence, Sam Taylor-Johnson concluded the shooting of the crucial ‘contract scene’ on the very first leg of the production of the movie based on the BDSM inspired novel by Erica James. Though the cafe owner found the actors in high spirits, he had to supply at least 44 cups of lattes to make the scene as impeccable as it can be.

And at the end of the day, the entire cast and crew of the movie was seen enjoying the 44 cups of lattes, and given that the weather was cold indeed, no one seemed to complain. Sam Taylor-Johnson is such a director, who demands each scene be etched in the best possible manner and hence it was in accordance to her wishes that the cafe owner had to supply 44 cups of lattes in between the shots and the actors to get the shot right. And later when Dakota Johnson (as Anastasia Steele) leaves the cafe and plants a kiss on the cheek of her equally good looking co-star, Jamie Dornan (as Christian Grey), his look of confusion is caught brilliantly by this director.

The director has been a part of this project since its inception and when the first day of the shoot ends on such a note of success, it marks a remarkable achievement for the director and the crew alike. But now that the shooting has finally started, many fans can finally heave a sigh of relief because it means that the film would eventually release on the projected date of 13^th February 2015. The date is a long way to go, but the flicker of hope has not died down. Though not a love story in the classical sense, it will still be a movie to look forward to by couples in the Valentine’s Day weekend 2015.

Most aspects of the movie, from casting to shooting schedules and release dates, the film has been on an uphill climb and now the fans (read most women) are happy that the paper cut figure of ChristianGrey will finally be seen in flesh and blood (mostly flesh they hope). The only constant factors in the movie adaptation till now have been Dakota Johnson, Sam Taylor-Johnson and Erica James. With new actors making a grand entrance in the ensemble cast each week, the movie is now clear of the troubled waters and can finally set sail to success. And with Erica James and Sam Taylor-Johnson steering the vessel, we are confident that it will now travel only upstream.

Why the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie is Doomed

Is ‘doomed’ too strong a word to anticipate the fate of the film ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’? The movie adaptation of the E.L. James novel has seen quite a lot of highs and lows even before the shooting started and everything from casting to release dates have been in a state of constant turmoil. To start from the beginning, Focus Features, which is a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, has reportedly handed out a whopping $ 5 million to E.L. James to purchase the movie rights from the author. And the total cost of the film is at a staggering $ 40 million and to recover the costs and declare the film to be a blockbuster, the film had to be released in August when most films have a fair chance of doing well in summer.

Instead of releasing the film in the summer, the film will instead see a February release at the Valentine’s Day weekend, but in the year 2015. The delay in the film has also thrown up a few questions regarding the future of the film. With fans already exasperated at having to wait for so long, the film is testing the patience of all fans, waiting with bated breath for the venture to finally see the light of day. In a fresh turn of events, it has surfaced that Patrick Marber will be putting a final polish to the script of the novel inspired movie, earlier written by Kelly Marcel.

The movie’s rating was also a cause of concern and finally it has been revealed that the film would get a NC-17 rating. This rating, many feel is a gateway to doomdom in the world of films and entertainment. Another piece of disturbing news surfaced when it was revealed that the director of the movie, Sam Taylor-Johnson’s husband would play the role of the title character Christian Grey. But some fans are thanking their stars this piece of news did not materialise. But the casting troubles for the character of Christian Grey were far from over.

Actors like Robert Pattinson, Ryan Gosling, Matt Bomer and more could not be roped in to play the character and finally the choice of the casting team was Charlie Hunnam, the star of ‘Sons of Anarchy’.  But fate was yet to play a cruel joke on the team again, when Hunnam walked away and the team was again running from pillar to post to look for the perfect replacement. The team zeroed in on Jamie Dornan and till now, he is the Christian Grey fans will look forward to. The role of Anastasia Steele was also a subject of much speculation after actresses like Felicity Jones, Elizabeth Olsen, Imogen Poots and more could not make the cut as the naive college student. The role finally went to Dakota Johnson and is still with her.

Though the film has been in the news even before its release, let us hope that the fans’ continuing interest in the film continues to make it popular for all the right reasons.

‘50 Shades of Grey’ movie delayed till 2015 after actor switch

If there is one movie that has been in the news for its pre-production episodes as much as for its tumultuous casting ups and downs, it has to be ’50 shades of Grey’. Based on the novel by E.L. James, this erotic piece revolves around the sadomasochistic love affair between billionaire, debonair businessman and petite college student Anastasia Steele. Though the relationship is bound by non-disclosure agreements from Grey’s end, the docile college girl who is seduced by the charms of this dapper businessman probably ends up expecting a lot more and that is how she ends up hurting herself.

With such a seductive and passionate storyline, readers were already hopeful of their choices for Mr. Grey. But quite surprisingly the role first went to the ‘Sons of Anarchy’ regular cast member, Charlie Hunnam but he supposedly ‘got cold feet’ and backed out of the project only recently. This sudden overture, send the fans of ‘50 Shades’ and Charlie Hunnam into a fit, till the role went to a former Calvin Klein model, Jamie Dornan. If the rumour mills are to be believed, this is the reason that the shoot of this film has been delayed and the release date has now been pushed back to February 2015.

The female fans, as all can guess, are definitely not happy with this recent announcement. Some Hollywood stalwarts and trade analysts also feel that this could be a risky move for the venture since, February marks the month when Hollywood releases its most unambitious projects. The film, like any other money making venture was supposed to release in August 2014, which is the favourable time to release movies as the summer months are great for box office collections. Feeling the film would lose out on a huge opportunity, and also having to wait for all these extra months, the female fans are up-in-arms, not literally, but their chosen platforms for this outburst are the social networking sites.

Though February is the month of love and to some, the story of Ana and Christian is a love story, still, it is not known when in February is this film finally going to see the light of day. Some sources have hinted that it might be the eponymous day of love or Valentine’s Day. And some quarters are saying that it can be either a day before or after Valentine’s Day. But among all this talk of love, the mushiness is seldom seen in Grey and Ana’s relationship. Their love is more like a business arrangement and Grey sees Ana just as a business deal.

The main reason of the delay can be blamed on the last minute actor switch, but when you get a Calvin Klein model in exchange, can the fans really stay mad at the casting team? Well, definitely not for long. The film is probably the most anticipated film now, and the real reason of this can never be pin pointed. No matter what it is, when you put E.L. James’s narrative, Dakota Johnson’s coy looks and Jamie Dornan’s dapper appeal together, sparks are sure to fly.

A New Character in Fifty Shades of Grey as Mrs. Robinson

When E. L. James had written her BDSM themed erotic novel, ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’, little had she known that it would sweep her fans off their feet and would attract Hollywood studios to make a cinematic adaptation out of it? But as history speaks for itself, it is widely anticipated that the movie would do as well as the novel. The novel has pushed major authors off the list of the highest earning authors and this year, E.L. James has emerged victorious in the top spot. The novel, though themed around BDSM, is essentially a love story between Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.

The ‘50 Shades’ movie is probably one of the most widely awaited movies of the year and unlike some other movies, it is already famous. Famous because of its constant cast changes and cast additions, the ‘50 Shades’ movie, is all set to have another addition to its star cast in the form of Katie Holmes. The erstwhile star of films like, ‘Teaching Mrs. Tingle’ and television series like ‘Dawson’s Creek’, Holmes is also publicly known for her split from ex-husband Tom Cruise and her views on Scientology. Otherwise known in the novel as Mrs. Robinson, Katie’s character Elena Lincoln is one who had considerable sexual control on Christian Grey when he was a teen and is the one responsible for introducing him to the pains and pleasures of BDSM

Anastasia Steele on the other hand is the naive and docile female protagonist who falls for the cold and calculating Christian Grey, with being oblivious to his history and fetish for S&M. The shy and docile Anastasia Steele slowly falls for the suave businessman but at the end of the first part of the 50 shades trilogy, ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’, it is Anastasia Steele who leaves Christian Grey knowing only well that this arrangement and a relationship literally and figuratively bound by non-disclosure agreements might not work.

‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ offers a different dimension to the acting capabilities of Katie Holmes and although the character Elena Lincoln is as dark and manipulative as Christian, she is also essentially the femme fatale of the novel and the ‘50 Shades movie. The character in the novel, Mrs. Robinson is a natural blonde and is in her late 30s and early 40s; two of these components can be challenging for Katie Holmes, since she is not a natural blonde and is only 34 years old. But if the rumor mills and the grapevine is to be believed, she is going all out to make herself as close to the character as possible, even possibly suggesting that she might turn blonde to fit the bill.

The bitter divorce might have left the mother of one with a bad taste in the mouth but the ‘50 Shades’ movie, is touted to be her ticket back to mainstream Hollywood. And if her efforts are anything to go by, she will make a ravishing and a delicious Elena Lincoln as Mrs. Robinson.

“50 Shades Movie” finds Christian’s romantic rival – Victor Rasuk will play Ana’s college friend Jose

              

In the E. L. James novel “Fifty Shades of Grey”, the sparks are set to fly between Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. But there is another relationship which has the potential of sparking a different kind of equation. The relationship between Christian and Jose is far from romantic. In fact both have their eyes on the leading lady Ana. It is Ana who has to decide who will get her heart. But even when she starts a physical relationship with Christian bordering on BDSM, he does not want it to be a romantic relationship.The casting team of “Fifty Shades of Grey” has won another pat on their backs for choosing an actor like Victor Rasuk for the role. Choosing Victor for this role is all the more significant because they would need an actor who fits the description and the cultural bill of the character of Jose Rodriguez. And all this and more is present in oodles in Victor. The third wheel of the novel and the film adaptation, Victor comes from a Dominican background and with his Latin American/Spanish looks (not stereotypical though), is one of the better parts of the venture so far.Though the movie and the book are both billed as an erotic love story, the theme of friendship is also masterfully entwined within the plot. The friendship that Ana shares with Kate and Jose makes up for an interesting premise of the novel. Though the friendship that Jose has for Ana borders on love and infatuation, it is never truly explored in the novel, and the readers probably go home with the idea that Christian wins on account of his mysterious ways and the raw power he exhibits in the boardroom and the bedroom. But hopefully, Victor’s portrayal of Jose will win some sympathizers for the latter.The clash between the two alpha males of the novel, Christian and Jose, is introduced in a subtle manner by the author, when Christian goes on a coffee date with Ana right after the photo shoot with Jose, Ana and Kate, and asks her if she is dating someone. By someone, he meant Jose. Probably he had sensed that Jose would be a strong contender as a love interest of Ana. The chemistry between Jose, Kate and Ana seemingly borders on the platonic but Jose has an anguished lover’s heart that beats for Anastasia Steele, which can be sniffed out by the other strong contender, Christian. If only, Ana would have sensed it and shared the feelings.

 Fifty Shades movie is based on the ‘Fifty Shadesof Grey’ written by E L James. It is a bestselling erotic novel. The novel presents a sadomasochistic romance between Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. The wealthy Christian Grey is dominant and his sex partner Ana is submissive. She is a college girl of 21 years. The production unit of the movie was searching for a perfect person to play the lead roles in the Fifty Shades Movie. After a prolonged period of speculations and discussions, it was decided that Charlie Hunnam would play the role of Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson would play the role of Anastasia Steele.

The speculation about who would play Christian Grey was at peak intensity even in March 2012. A million names were discussed and E L James finally locked down her on screen Anastasia Steel and Christian Grey on September 2. She announced that ‘Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam have been cast to play the converted roles of in the film adaptation of her erotic love story’.  Dakota, who is the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, is best known for her starring role on the now-defunct Fox sitcom Ben & Kate.

Charlie Hunnam also had agreed to play the role of kinky billionaire Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades movie, but on October 13 along with the production team, he announced that he has parted ways with the movie. According to Hunnam, he has denied the lead role due to his ‘immerse TV schedule. He has assured the production team that he also would help them in finding a perfect star for the Fifty Shades movie. Charlie Hunnam had received criticism from the fans and experts in casting in this film. They said that he is not sexy enough to handle such a high profile job. The fans did not spare Dakota Johnson too, but she is still in the movie.

It has assumed that Charlie Hunnam walked away from the Fifty Shades movie after developing ‘cold feet’ because of extreme attention from fans. He is a man who does not like to be famous. He isn’t the only one who feels pressure about his role. Dakota Johnson, contracted to play Ana in the adaptation of the bestseller also is reportedly having problems with the media attention from her casting. The twenty four year old actress feels pressure about the hotly-discussed role. Fans were not thrilled when it was announced that Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson would play the lead roles in the film. The announcement was received with lukewarm response. They seriously doubt her potential of being the sex slave of Christian Grey. The angry fans of the trilogy took to the campaigning web platform to express their unhappiness at the casting. The trilogy has huge fans support as 70m copies of it were sold worldwide.

Though Charlie has walked away from the movie, Dakota Johnson would play the role of Anastasia Steele as scheduled if nothing drastic takes place over the coming days. 

Charlie Hunnam drops out of 'Fifty Shades of Grey': Fan Power?

Can be new Entrance in Fifty Shades 

Fifty Shades of Grey is a scheduled to be produced by Universal Pictures. The movie is based on the erotic best-selling novel written by E L James. It was decided that Charlie Hunnam would play the lead role in the film along with Dakota Johnson, but the film makers and Charlie Hunnam agreed to find another actor to replace him. It was announced by the Universal Pictures on October 13.

Fifty Shades of Grey tells the story of a college student, Anastasia. She starts a love relationship with Christian Grey, a very successful businessman of 27 years. Their relationship started when she interviewed him for her college newspaper. Eventually, Anastasia lost her virginity to him. In order to keep their relationship purely sexual, he wants her to sign a secret agreement. He defines their relationship as one of ‘dominance and submission’. There is a lot of tension in the novel over the nature of relationship and the possibility love and romance. The novel also gives importance to Anastasia’s sexual explorations. It is a very popular novel with thousands of fans.

Charlie Hunnam, a busy English actor and a screen writer stated that he would not able to play the lead role due to his ‘immerse TV schedule’. The main character in the novels is very famous and could make a lasting impact on the minds of the viewers. The confirmation of his casting was announced only a month before and there were a lot of rumours about who would win this coveted role. Charlie Hunnam feels that his busy schedule does not allow him to adequately prepare for the role of Christian Grey which is in his opinion is very demanding. He also has assured that he would help the filmmakers to find a proper replace for him in the film.

When it was confirmed that he would play the lead role in the movie, it suffered a backlash from the fans. The fans wanted actors like Robert Pattinson or Ran Goseling to play the role of Christian Grey in the film. Not everyone who read the novel had imagined Charlie Hunnam as ChristianGrey. They feel that Charlie Hunnam is not sexy enough to play the role and their response was lukewarm. In fact, they were disappointed. Dakota Johnson also is criticized for the same reason, but as of now she stands to play the role of Ana in the movie. The critics feel that the drop out could be the power of fans.

There are reports which confirm that Charlie Hunnam actually got ‘cold feet’ and dropped out of playing the controversial role. These reports stress that it had nothing to do with immerse TV schedule. The pressure of playing one of the coveted roles also is attributed as the reason behind the drop out. Charlie Hunnam has said that the pressure of the film was ‘daunting if I think it was too much’. Now the filmmakers should start afresh if Dakota Johnson also decides to pull out of the film.

Dakota with Charlie in Fifty Shades of Grey Movie

It's the Movie Fifty Shades everyone wants to be in - Fifty Shades of Grey is the book that everyone is talking about and is now being made by Universal Pictures and Focus Features into a feature film. The erotic trilogy by E.L. James tells us of an unconventional love story between dominant, handsome, billionaire Charlie Hunnam as Christian Grey who has some rather kinky and perverse tastes in the bedroom, whereas his object of desire, Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele is an innocent, 21-year-old virgin who has a love of British classics and likes to drink tea. This unsuspecting pair end up in a violently passionate relationship full of elating highs, crashing lows and earth-shattering sex. Anastasia Steele is described as being a thin, pale girl with long dark hair and blue eyes that are too big for her face. Almost every actress in Hollywood wants the part, from the big, worldly stars like Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson, to lesser-known actresses like Lily Collins and Alexis Bledel. However, it seems one actress has taken the lead in the candidacy for Anastasia Steele in the movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey - Katie Cassidy.

The 25-year-old actress has recently appeared in Gossip Girl and Melrose Place will have to compete with actresses such as Emma Stone, Emma Watson and Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale for the role of submissive Anastasia Steele. Emma Watson has revealed to the media that she hasn't been approached for the role nor has she read the script, despite the countless rumors on the Internet about her involvement in the movie, but that doesn't mean the Harry Potter starlet is out of the running. Actors for the role of Greek god and sadistic CEO Christian Grey include fan favorites Ryan Gosling of The Notebook fame, Ian Somerhalder from the Vampire Diaries, and Swedish True Blood Hunk Alexander Skarsgard. Channing Tatum's name was also linked to the part, but he mentioned in an interview that he'd only agree to do the part if his wife Jenna Dewan were cast opposite him as Anastasia."I'd only be allowed if my wife was Ana," says the Magic Mike star, "She's read the books so I don't think she'd be impressed if she couldn't be Ana." With Universal Pictures and Focus Features priority lying with finding a screenwriter and a director first, it looks like we'll have to wait until we get our Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey.

Fifty Shades Of Grey Casts Charlie Hunnam And Dakota Johnson

Fifty Shades’ Screenwriter – Kelly Marcel

Another British part of the Fifty movie madness, is the screenwriter, Kelly Marcel. With British actor, Charlie Bad Boy Hunman playing Christian, Sam Taylor-Johnson is the British Director, it perhaps was only natural the movie would be mainly British.

The screenwriter is the person who brings the book to the big screen. So let’s take a look at how Kelly Marcel has planned her adaptation of the erotic film from the book to the big screen. Screen adaptations aren’t easy, books have to be edited down for screen purposes, and hence why many people state a film is never as good as the book.

The film is going to be rated NC-17 (UK – 18) for the movie’s material content. There’s no surprise there then, we never expected it to be anything less, but the burning question is, will the book remain loyal to its raunchy roots?

Kelly has been quoted as stating that the movie has been edited, no surprise there then, but what is the story?  Kelly has stated that the movie is “a modern love story with two complex characters and that’s what I am interested in”

Kelly has admitted some of the raunchier scenes have been edited down, but the storyline remains intact. She’s also stated that she has had to take top measure to keep the script secret as Fifty fans scrabble for information.

Marcel is no stranger to screenwriting. She is the co-creator of Steven Spielberg’s Terra Nova, a highly successful TV drama. She has been primarily involved with TV and film and is the co-director with Tom Hardy of The Bad Dog Theater Company. She is 39-years old and her rise to screenwriting came from her stage adaption of the 70s porn movie, “Debbie Does Dallas” (Grins)

Her older sister is a well-known TV actress in the UK and her father is a director.  Kelly has also been in front of the screen with small parts on British TV regular serial dramas.  She is also the screenwriter of the pending Saving Mr Banks film which takes a look at the popularity of Mary Poppins and stars Tom Hanks.

The hiring of Ms Marcel took considerable criticism from American Brett Easton Ellis who applied for the role and he took to Twitter to share his disappointment in October of last year. He made no bones of the fact that he was disappointed and in fact was pretty scathing about Marcel’s appointment. Dear oh dear.

The producers who were behind The Social Network have acclaimed Marcel’s skills as a scriptwriter and soon Easton-Ellis’s comments were buried under other tweets. We don’t think the uber-cool Ms Marcel’s feathers were too ruffled, she is a cool British woman who very much displayed her stiff upper lip throughout Easton-Ellis’s mini rant about his disappointment.

Note: The Social Network connection and our newly cast Anastasia?  Yes, don’t forget, Dakota Johnson was in the movie.

Kelly Marcel is responsible for getting this movie from book to screen, we think she will do a great job and this is going to be a massive part of her resume.

Can she bring the worlds most talked about couple to the big screen for us to flock to?

Why Henry Cavill should Play Christian Grey

Fifty Shades of Grey began life as Twilight fan fiction, since the release of the trilogy by EL James; it has been a smashing hit breaking sales records in the UK and the United states not to mention all around the world and being printed in over 30 languages.

Since Universal and focus bought the rights to the movie fifty shades of grey, and screen writer Kelly Marcel is rumored to be almost finished with the script. Henry Cavill who is now about to release Superman is a heavy favorite to get the role of Playing Christian Grey.

The 29 year old actor has a huge following and has the great looks and modeled for the Dunhill Fragrance ads, which at a stunning resemblance to Christian grey. Over the past 6 Months Henry Cavill has had a huge following especially now that he doing Superman, the Man of Steel. He is one of our top 3 picks to Play Christian Grey. Here is a trailer of him in Superman.

Rooney Mara As Anastasia Steele

While Rooney Mara’s looks are unconventional, we can definitely see something of Anastasia in her – she’s petite, pale, has dark hair and large blue eyes. She not a striking beauty like Emilia Clarke or Lucy Hale, but Anastasia Steele isn’t meant to be a head turner.

there candidates for the role include Nina Dobrev of the Vampire Diaries, Twilight actress Ashley Greene, Gilmore Girls’ Alexis Bledel, Game of Thrones Emilia Clarke and Pretty Little Liars Lucy Hale.

At the moment, both the studios and E.L. James are keeping silent about the casting of the movie, especially since the screenwriter, Kelly Marcel is still penning the script and Universal Studios and Focus Features want to find a director first. While the list for the male candidates is smoothly packaged into a choice of three: Ian Somerhalder, Matt Bomer and Henry Cavill, the list of female candidates is more volatile – with new names added on a daily basis. So whether Rooney Mara will managed to barge her way into the list of candidates remains to be seen, but one way or the other, Anastasia Steele is less predictable than Christian Grey in terms of casting.

Chace Crawford in The Black List for The Movie Fifty Shades Of Grey

Did he ever stand a chance? Against Matt Bomer, Henry Cavill, or Ian Somerhalder we don’t think he ever stood a chance at winning the rights to this role as Christian Grey

“I would love the challenge,” he said, “I have not read the books, but what I know is that it is risqué, and to be honest, anything to shake up from the way I have been going would be good.”

When he was asked about his comfort with doing  scenes for the movie Fifty shades Crawford replied enthusiastically.

“I am only comfortable with these type of scenes!” he said, “The other ones are just too simple and boring for me. I actually think, whether it is a scene, or screaming at something to get something across. I think it is kind of attacked the same way, and you’re in the work mode, and you stay professional. It has never been awkward or intimidating.”

Perhaps E.L. James is against his part in the movie since he’s so anxious to play a part in an adaptation of a book he hasn’t even read. However, all of these rumors as just that, gossip and hearsay, so maybe E.L. James never said the above.

However, what do you think of Chace Crawford’s supposed dismissal from the Christian Grey candidacy? Do you think he might still stand a chance or are you with E.L. James on this one that he’s utterly inappropriate for the role?

Fifty Shades of Grey Casting E.L. James I Have Some Ideas

The Fifty Shades of Grey movies have been pretty quiet on the news front in 2013 so far, but it looks like things are going to get shaken up pretty soon with Universal Studios announcing that the movie could very well be ready by the summer of 2014. And, not only just that, but it looks like E.L. James is beginning to open up a bit more on her own casting ideas.

It might be a while before prospective Christian Greys and Anastasia Steeles will get up in front of the camera for screen tests, but E.L. James has her own ideas, and while she’s still remaining cryptic about her choices, she has admitted that the cast won’t “be who people expect.”

At the moment, those who’ve made the hot list include Ian Somerhalder, Matt Bomer and Henry Cavill on the male side, with Emilia Clarke, Emma Watson, Mila Kunis and Alexis Bledel on the girls’ team.

Although, it’s some time until filming, E.L. James has already started to tease fans.

“I do have some ideas… but it may not be who people expect.”

So does that mean that the top fan favorites are off the list as far as E.L. James is concerned? Does that mean that hotly spoken about stars like Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer are unlikely to get the E.L. James seal of approval?

Matt Bomer Says No Offer Yet For The Movie Fifty Shades Of Grey

There may be another incentive behind Matt Bomer’s comments, since there is the possibility of a Magic Mike sequel, and Bomer might be rejoining Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Joe Maganiello and Matthew McConaughey in his role as a male stripper.

“I think there are a lot of pieces that need to fall into place for it to actually happen, but it would be fun to get together with everybody again,” he commented on the possibility of a sequel, “We came from a band of brothers really, because we all knew we were entering into something that was really scary and out of our comfort zone for the most part and so every body just rose up and supported each other.”

It looks like Matt Bomer is continuing his busy schedule working on the third season of White Collar, where he portrays a con man the FBI have hired to help to solve white collar crimes so he can lower his prison sentence.

Looking at the photos of Matt Bomer, he matches the description of Christian Grey to a tee, and if he were picked he would be an excellent choice. However, it looks like the actor has a give or take attitude to the role. Ian Somerhalder on the other hand is desperate to play Christian Grey, which works in his favor.

Wanted Hot Actor To Play Christian Grey Henry Cavill

After his roles as Theseus in The Immortals Henry Cavill is quickly gaining the attention of Fans. With his movie Superman in Man of Steel and Rumors that the Fifty Shades team is meeting with his Agency it is no wonder that the Hot actor is being sought after.

The actor is the right age, only a couple of years older than Christian Grey’s character in the book. But, that’s not all that is going in favor of the Immortals star, he’s been nominated as the Breakout Star of 2013, but not just that, Dana Brunetti, the producer behind the Fifty Shades of Grey movies met up with CAA, the agency that represents Cavill. Are the auburn locks a sign that Henry is hinting at wanting the role?

Not only that, but the actor has been spotted wearing an easily recognizable grey tie that a certain Mr. Grey has worn on many an occasion. Is Henry Cavill just teasing us, or is he really being considered as Mr. Grey? Another interesting tidbit about the British actor is that he served as inspiration for Stephenie Meyer’s Edward Cullen, and the Twilight author was disappointed that by the time the Twilight films were made; Cavill was too old for the role of Edward.

Now, it’s common knowledge that E.L. James has based the character of Christian Grey on Edward Cullen, so it seems almost apt that Henry Cavill is cast in the part. He does have a long way to go to convince fans that he’d be ideal for the part over other favorites like Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer, but things are looking up favorably for the former “Unluckiest Man in Hollywood,” who had lost out to Daniel Craig as James Bond and Christian Bale as Batman. Who knows, perhaps Cavill will be Christian Grey?

Ian Somerhalder is the Bookies Favorite for Christian Grey

Ian Somerhalder might have been unknown for the majority of his career until he took up the role of Damon Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries, but ever since there has been talk of him taking up Christian Grey, the actor has hit the spotlight. He has the look and the commanding presence to play Christian Grey, and it’s very easy to see why the fans adore him.

Ian hails from the Deep South, from Louisiana, and broke onto the scene at an early age as a model when he was 10, deciding to become an actor when he was 17. He got his first big part in Lost as Boone Carlyle, but alas was one of the first characters to have got killed off in the series. It wasn’t until the Vampire Diaries that he began to register on the radar once more.

One interesting point about Ian Somerhalder is his dedication to charitable work. He’s passionate about environmental issues and animal rights, and ever since the BP oil spill in his home state of Louisiana, he set up his Ian Somerhalder Foundation to help raise awareness and help out these issues. This is a quality Somerhalder shares with Christian Grey, who is passionate about helping the poor and the starving in Africa.A fan tweeted a picture of Ian Somerhalder in a masquerade mask with a quote with the book, to which E.L. James tweeted back a wide-grin smiley face. Maybe this means something, maybe not.

Somerhalder is the bookies’ favorite for Christian Grey, but he does suffer from some tough competition from Matt Bomer and Henry Cavill. Bomer has a continuously rising fan base, and Cavill ticks many of the boxes. The question is whether Ian can keep up in the lead by the time casting comes around, and whether the casting directors are going to go in the direction of the fan hype or not.

Shailene Woodley Vs Emilia Clarke, Lucy Hale,Ashley Greene and Alexis Bledel

Divergent has the possibility to generate sequels, and being a movie based on a young adult movie set in a dystopian world, we can imagine it’ll have a good deal of success.

Shailene may still get cast, but it’s looking less and less likely by the day, and where she’s going to big places, other actresses who are suitable for the role are more likely candidates. Alexis Bledel remains a fan favorite, but her age is acting against her. There have been alleged rumors that Emma Watson has signed up, but the Harry Potter star has denied them. We still have Emilia Clarke, Lucy Hale and Ashley Greene in the running, among others, so we definitely have a generous batch to pick from. The race for Anastasia Steele is however more unstable than the one for Christian Grey, which lies between three candidates.

In the part of the men, there is a toss up between Ian Somerhalder, Matt Bomer and Henry Cavill. For the girls, things are not so simple. Bet on one of the Christian Greys, and you may very well get lucky. Bet on an Anastasia Steele and your odds are distinctively lower. We’re going to have to wait and see whom Universal Studios and Focus Features are going to pick in the final casting. Maybe, E.L. James has another favorite actress up her sleeve for the part of Anastasia Steele.

Emma Watson Out Of the Running For 50 Shades Of Grey The Movie

Just the other week, hacker “Anonymous” set the rumor alight that Emma Watson has been cast in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. Anonymous hacked into the database of the German movie studio Constantin Films, which allegedly showed the Harry Potter starlet had been cast in the movie. While taking a hacker’s source as the truth seems like an unwise idea, Anonymous has been right in the past after exposing other celebrities, but Emma Watson flat out denies the rumors.

The actress took to her Twitter page to respond to the number of rumors going about her part in Fifty Shades of Grey.

“Who here actually thinks I would do 50 Shades of Grey as a movie? Like really. For real. In real life,” said Watson on the social media site. She later added “Good. Well that’s sorted then.”

It’s not the first time Emma has had to set the record straight regarding her casting. Only last year, the Harry Potter actress was linked with the role and the rumors spread across the Internet. It looks official now that Emma Watson will not be starring in Fifty Shades Of Grey The Movie.

Felicity Jones joins the Anastasia Steele candidates

As the days for casting the Fifty Shades of Grey movies draws closer, more and more names seem to get added to the list of Anastasia Steele candidates per day. The newest name to be added to the list is British beauty Felicity Jones.

While Felicity’s name has been mentioned before, it’s only recently she’s started to get some more recognition from fans of the books.

While we’re waiting for some actual news, fans have taken it upon themselves to create their very own trailers for the Fifty Shades of Grey movies and the newest actress to be used is Felicity Jones.

The actress is under the radar in the USA, but she’s quite well known in her home country, especially in her role as Ethel Hallow in The Worst Witch and the sequel Weirdsister College.

Back in January, Felicity Jones was asked if she would play Anastasia Steele if the opportunity ever presented itself.

“It all depends on the film-maker and script, just like any job,” said Jones in an interview with Metro, “Anyway, I’ve heard there’s lots of campaigns by fans pushing other brunette actresses, but I guess I should thank this person who went to all that trouble.”

Forgotten Christian Greys

Matt Bomer, Ian Somerhalder and Henry Cavill are currently pretty much the top three main candidates to play Christian grey in The Movie Fifty Shades of Grey.

Thor hunk Chris Hemsworth is another who has been connected with the role, although his candidacy was more disputed among fans. We agree he’s hot but is he Christian Grey?

There have been many who felt that Michael Fassbender would have made the perfect Christian Grey in his prime. He’s a brilliant actor, with classic good looks and a sinister undertone, but unfortunately, the Irish-German actor who starred in Inglorious Basterds is getting a bit too old to play the part of Christian Grey in the upcoming movie adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. We can’t forget hunk Alexander Skarsgard is known for his part as Eric Northman on the hit HBO series True Blood 

And, we mustn’t forget some of the more ridiculous options, like porn star James Deen who was very keen to take on the part of Christian Grey, and the rumor about Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe’s connection to the movie.

While Robert Pattinson is a fan favorite, we are fairly confident the Twilight hunk won’t stand a chance, especially since E.L. James herself has boycotted him from getting cast. And, we all know if the author herself isn’t down with it, then it’s very unlikely to ever happen. Are there any other forgotten Grey’s you’d like to add to the list?

Matt Damon to star in 50 Shades of Grey Movie

Emma Watson has been linked with the film, especially after a hacker said that she had been cast as Anastasia Steele, but the Harry Potter star quickly denied all ties to the movie.

Charlize Theron’s name has also come up in the part of Elena, so we have got some big names being thrown about in connection to Fifty Shades of Grey.

Recently, a fan made trailer came out that featured Matt Damon, now I know many of you are probably spiting blood at the idea of 42-year-old Damon playing 27-year-old Christian Grey, but you can calm down now. It is highly unlikely that Matt Damon will be cast as Christian Grey. It’s much more likely he’ll be placed as the older brother Elliot Grey or even Christian Grey’s own bodyguard too. 

With a projected release of 2014 for the Fifty Shade of Grey movie, it looks like casting will be imminent in the next few months. Some actors like Stephen Amell have been dropping hints about being cast, but whether or not the studios are looking for casting before they’ve got a director is a debatable issue. 

So, while people are waiting in anticipation for the casting to take place, fans are making their own trailer. In this version with Matt Damon, Alexis Bledel was featured as Ana Steele and Matt Bomer as Christian Grey with Blake Lively as the bubbly, blonde roommate Kate Kavanagh. 

Henry Cavill Top Pick To Play Christian Grey

It would also require him to show a different set of skills than Cavill has used on film before. While the British actor’s film credentials are somewhat limited, it is not the past that is an issue when discussing his taking on Christian Grey. His present and the future are what would likely stop him from taking the role if it were offered. The lead role of the imposing and wealthy entrepreneur with a penchant for causing pain to his submissive, tormented (often pleasurably so) lover Anastasia could encompass three films, if it follows the books. Already in the likely position of having to anchor his own superhero series, and possibly the entire DC Comics film universe now that Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy has been concluded, a commitment to another (possible) trilogy seems like a daunting task.

When asked about his interest in the role following upon the mass outpouring of support from fans, Cavill was hesitant to say much beyond how great of an opportunity getting the role would be for anyone. This diffidence regarding playing Christian is either well-hidden interest or mere Hollywood diplomacy, but does not speak well for the hopes of those in his camp.

Any perceived reticence to put himself out there publicly aside, the 6’1” Cavill certainly fits the bill for Christian as written by James. Describing him as merely physically fit would be a disservice to the actor. Courtesy of his superhero training regime and genetics, he would likely be capable of filling the role of an imposing and dominant sadist. His chiseled looks, which are only too easy to see as those of the dark-haired and charismatic Christian, could also provide his character with a suitable cover for the darkness inside (not altogether dissimilar to his dual role of Clark Kent and Superman).

The style the actor has shown as he promotes “Man of Steel,” looking dashing on every red carpet he has stepped upon, has also shown the world that the man looks as good in a tailored suit as a skintight costume or when shirtless. Sometimes fighting Superman is just a bad idea. Maybe this is one of those times, and Cavill truly is set to take over the world, proving himself as unstoppable as his soon-to-be-most-famous role.

The Movie Fifty Shades Of Grey Release Date Confirmed by EL james August 2014

“A reveal of the cast is currently planned for Comic-Con,” a source informed Hollywood Life. Perhaps we’ll find out who’ll get to play the saucy roles of Anastasia and Christian towards the end of July. If the studios plan to announce the official cast then, it looks like casting is currently underway.

In the lead for Christian Grey is the Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder, who has been a fan favorite ever since the movie rights for the Fifty Shades of Grey books were bought.  Another favorite is Robert Pattinson who has been on and off the list of candidates for some time. The Twilight star has been linked to the movie, then dismissed by E.L. James who said she didn’t want to see either Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart affiliated with the role, but recently he’s invited E.L. James to one of his parties.

Jennifer Lawrence has been a popular choice for Anastasia Steele, and it looks like she’s on top to get the part of the submissive college grad, but she is facing some tough competition from Game of Throne’s Emilia Clarke and Emma Watson, even though the latter has denied her involvement in the project. Just a month to go, and we’ll know more about who’ll be spanking who in the Fifty Shades movies!
