Fifty Shades of Grey The Movie: The Early Favourites

It is the most talked-about book of the season – the most erotic and sensual novel to hit out shelves in years, written by British writer, E.L. James. Set largely in Seattle, it is the first instalment in a trilogy that traces the deepening relationship between a college graduate, Anastasia Steele, and a young business magnate, Christian Grey.

The Plot…

Anastasia Steele is a young college student who is drafted by her best friend Katherine Kavanagh to interview the successful young entrepreneur Christian Grey for their student newspaper. Steele finds him attractive, confident, commanding, and intimidating. She leaves the interview convinced it went badly; she tries to forget about Grey until he turns up at the hardware store where she works part-time. After Grey leaves the hardware store, Steele realises that she likes him. Grey tries to warn her that he is not a “heart and flowers” kind of guy, but this makes Steele want him more and want to uncover his secret. Grey also admits he wants her for her beauty, wit, and independent spirit, but on his own terms. Steele is shocked to learn Grey’s singular erotic taste. Grey proposes a BDSM relationship, which Steele knows nothing about. When the couple embarks on a passionate, physical and daring affair, Steele learns more about her own dark desires, as well as the Grey’s secrets.

The Movie…

There are talks about replicating all the power, drama, passion, sex and artistry of the book into a motion picture but the big question is, who will play the roles of Christian and Anastasia.

For Anastasia, here are the top 5 names that could possibly give life to this controversial character;

EMMA WATSON

EMMA STONE

ALEXIS BLEDEL

KRISTEN STEWART

ROONEY MARA

I would personally go for either Rooney or Emma Stone – whoever plays this part needs to be exceptionally brilliant in terms of acting and both actresses definitely got it. I won’t be surprised though if Emma Watson gets it as this could be the biggest non-Harry Potter break she is waiting for.

As for Christian Grey’s character, a lot of names pop up but remember, whoever is chosen to play this role needs to possess not just the acting ability but also that physical charisma, the body, the face, the sex appeal as this film will certainly (heavily) rely on Christian Grey;

IAN SOMERHALDER

 

HENRY CAVILL

 

KELLAN LUTZ

 

MICHAEL FASSBENDER

 

RYAN GOSLING

 

Michael and Kellan would be good choices – underrated, fit for the character although I think, of these 5, Ryan Gosling would be the perfect choice. He certainly embodies everything that is Christian Grey. Ryan and Emma Stone will actually make a perfect pair.

What about you guys, who do you think should bag these coveted roles?

  1. I think Henry Cavil should play Christian he has that sexy mysterious look about him and the look that underneath he has a wild dirty side waiting to come out to play..
