Ever since the the novel FIFTY SHADES OF GREY from author E.L. James became a worldwide phenomenon and gave way to the term "mommie porn", many wondered when a film adaptation would happen.Soon it was announced that director Sam Taylor-Wood would direct the film, and casting rumors began to swirl regarding who would play the lead characters in the film, Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.Well today, we now know who those folks are.
is reporting that SONS OF ANARCHY star Charlie Hunnam has been cast in the coveted role of Christian Grey in the film, and actress Dakota Johnson has been cast as Anastasia Steele.This concludes a long and exhaustive search to find the right actors for the part, and paves the way for the film to officially begin production.
If you've been living under a rock for the past few years, here's a quick synopsis of the story:
When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana's quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too--but on his own terms.
Shocked yet thrilled by Grey's singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success--his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family--Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey's secrets and explores her own dark desires.
If you're wondering who Dakota Johnson is, well then allow me to inform you.She is a young actress who has appeared in films like THE SOCIAL NETWORK and 21 JUMP STREET, but to this point, she hasn't turned in any breakout roles.She also happens to be the offspring of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith.
For his part, Charlie Hunnam is on his way to mega stardom.Aside from his role on the wildly popular FX series SONS OF ANARCHY, he starred in director Guillermo Del Toro's robots vs. monsters movie PACIFIC RIM.Starring as Christian is definitely a risk for the young British actor, but I'm sure he'll knock it out of the park.
What do you think?Think Hunnam is making the right decision?Looking forward to the film?
