Henry Cavill and Emilia Clarke get Social Media Support

With fans getting impatient about casting news, more and more of them are creating their own trailers, Facebook fan groups and polls on who should be cast as Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey.

Although Ian Somerhalder and Alexis Bledel have been the fan favorites up to now, it looks like the British actors are taking the lead for Grey and Steele in the hearts of fans on social media. With the movie slated for release in 2014, we’re beginning to get excited about the casting of the movie.

While the hype of the novel is high, the topic isn’t so new, with the ten year old movie Secretary starring James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal, Nabokov’s Lolita and Anne Rice’s Beauty Trilogy, the darker side of sexuality and S&M has been an explored subject, however it’s never become so mainstream before. 

Like the themes in Fifty Shades of Grey, Emilia Clarke’s name in connection with the movie franchise is hardly new, but the actress has been gaining popularity more and more over the past few months, and fellow British actor Henry Cavill can also be categorized into the same box.
