Jamie Dornan to leave ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ to start work on ‘The Fall’?

Jamie Dornan fans will be officially perplexed, sad and angry when they hear that the Irish hunk of an actor is about to leave the “FiftyShades...” project. But to console them only one thing can be said, and that is, the actor is not leaving the movie franchise for good. He will be merely taking a break. The actor, who was primarily known for his television roles in “Once Upon a Time” and “The Fall”, will be taking a break and going to Belfast to reprise his role in “The Fall”.

He will start shooting for the second season of the series and unlike the earlier Mr. Grey; he will not be leaving the venture. But no sooner had the word got out that the former Calvin Klein model was leaving the movie, than everybody started thinking that history was about to repeat itself. In this context, it must be mentioned that any new news regarding the cast of the “Fifty Shades...” movie sparks off a domino effect of rumours because of the incidents that have already happened with the movie adaptation and have left an indelible impression on the movie.

The first time any such cast change rumour was heard was when Charlie Hunnam, who was selected to play the role of Christian Grey, walked out of the venture citing his commitment to his television show “Sons of Anarchy” and now if the actor, who has replaced him as Christian Grey, does the same, it is bound to give the producers and the director and the casting team of the movie adaptation sleepless nights. Though the chances of Jamie Dornan leaving the movie are slim, since he has been shooting for the film since December, one can’t be too sure.

The actor is still in Vancouver, Canada shooting the outdoor scenes with his leading lady, Dakota Johnson. The Fifty Shades Movie has been reportedly shot indoors with very few crew members in attendance. The actor will be taking a break of 16 weeks to travel to Belfast, where he will then get busy to shoot for “The Fall”. The actor will also be joined by Gillian Anderson shooting for “The Fall”. The actress was finishing up her commitments on the US show “Hannibal”, due to which the filming of “The Fall” had to go through a delay.

The executive producer of the series “The Fall”, Gub Neal was also quoted as saying that they have been talking to the Irish actor for over nine months and it has been confirmed that his “Fifty Shades...” schedule will not affect the shooting of “The Fall” in any way. It is being rumoured that the actor will begin shooting the series in Belfast at the end of January or the beginning of February. We hope that the Jamie Dornan’s 16 week stint in Belfast doesn’t change his mind in any way and he comes back to continue shooting for “Fifty Shades...” so that come February 13, 2015, his fans can happily tag along to theatres to watch him in action.

‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Casts Eloise Mumford As Anastasia’s Bff Kate

After casting Jamie Dornan, Dakota Johnson and Victor Rasuk as the primary players of the movie ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’, if there was one character that was left to be cast it was Katherine Cavanaugh or Kate as she is popularly known in E.L. James’s novel, which is making waves in the world of literature and Hollywood with equal ease. The novel has been famous and notorious at the same time. While some have been delighted at the erotic love story of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, others have said that it did not measure up to the yardstick of a literary novel
But E.L. James’s novel is not only about titillation, there is an inherent love story that unfolds in the pages of this dangerously themed novel. The character of Katharine Cavanaugh a.k.a Kate is instrumental in bringing the pivotal characters of Ana and Christian together and thanks to her and veiled efforts, Ana and Christian come together and the forbidden arrangement takes form between them. Not only are Kate and Ana best friends and roommates but also aspiring journalists who meet Christian Grey for an interview. But all does not go as planned and Ana has to fill in for Kate when she is indisposed and goes in her place to take Grey’s interview and that is how sparks fly between them.
Kate and Ana are a study in contrast and they are each other’s foils in the novel. On one hand, Ana is a demure and docile young college student, shy and reserved, and on the other hand, Kate is vivacious, outgoing and very social. In the novel, EL James describes her as a woman who has a curvaceous body with green eyes and strawberry-blonde hair. The actress who has been selected to play the part in the movie version of the novel, Eloise Mumford, fits the bill with her natural blonde hair and curvaceous yet slender frame. The cast of the movie venture has already been in the news for all the cast problems and re-cast options that have been tried out and finally selected.
First it was Charlie Hunnam who was selected to play the role of the eccentric millionaire. After he unceremoniously dropped out of the project, Jamie Dornan has been selected to replace him. Let us hope that the choice of Eloise Mumford to play Kate remains a static decision and we get to see more of this erstwhile star of ‘Lone Star’ and ‘Drones’ on the big screen. The character is not only instrumental in bringing Ana and Grey together but she also, pairs up with Christian Grey’s brother Elliot Grey. Though she was a matchmaker of sorts, she becomes vocally disapproving of the contract based relationship that Grey is alluring Ana into.
 From the time she realises that Grey has been responsible for making Ana cry, she vehemently reproaches Grey, but only in Ana’s absence. In her presence however, they have to act civil so that they do not hurt Ana. She is one of the first people to realise the controlling nature of the relationship that Ana and Grey share and how that slowly paves the path to a contract based physical relationship. Eloise Mumford gives us one more reason to look forward to the 2015 Valentine’s Day release of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’.

Twisted Romance of Anastasia and Christian's Relationship in Fifty Shades Of Grey

The bestselling erotic trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey has taken the world on by storm. It's not only out grossed the Harry Potter and Twilight series, but the up-and-coming movie adaptation of the novel is already the hottest topic in showbiz and it hasn't even been cast yet. It all begins rather simply. Anastasia Steele, a 21-year-old college student, is sent to Seattle to cover an interview for her sick roommate Kate. While Ana is expecting to interview a middle-aged CEO, she is surprised to find Christian Grey not only young, but dazzlingly handsome! Ana makes a dramatic entrance and ends up on her hands and knees, fumbling round the awkward sexual tension she eventually reads out Kate's prewritten questions, including the embarrassing "are you gay" question. While Anastasia leaves the interview feeling like a failure and also with her mind stuck on Mr. Grey, the pair are reunited when Christian hunts her down at her place of work.

What starts out like a normal romance turns strange very quickly. Christian makes Ana sign a non disclosure form before anything can happen between them and introduces her to his red room of pain. Naturally, this shocks the virginal college girl, but she tries to keep an open mind. Their sexual relationship releases Ana's inner goddess - but it's not enough for Mr. Grey. Christian wants Ana as his submissive. He even gives her a contract to sign with a bunch of clauses pertaining to her lifestyle as well as in the bedroom. Ana is so desperately obsessed with Christian she agrees to participate in his perverse fantasies. What is interesting about the story is that Ana isn't really a submissive. She's quite defiant outside of the bedroom and is certainly not shy about speaking her mind.

As their relationship progresses, Anastasia is the one who gets Christian to do what she wants - she knows exactly what she is doing. She demands a SAAB instead of an Audi in the second book, and Mr. Grey happily obliges. Even in the bedroom she just plays along with the submissive role in their S&M scenes, but it's clear to see she's not into it. She definitely doesn't enjoy pain and mostly goes along with the whole thing to please Christian. One thing that's certain is that Christian is not a family man. He doesn't do normal relationships that last over three months, yet in a smaller time frame he not only marries Ana, but even though he's so obsessive about Ana's contraception, by the end of book three the couple have two children. So who's the dominant one in this relationship?

Its official Dakota Johnson to Play Anastasia Steele, EL james Tweets

EL james makes it official on twiiter. ” I am delighted to let you know that the lovely Dakota Johnson has agreed to be our Anastasia in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.”

Dakota Johnson is Anastasia Steele

Dakota Johnson is Anastasia Steele

“I am delighted to let you know that the lovely Dakota Johnson has agreed to be our Anastasia in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey,” James wrote.

As we have just announced, Dakota Johnson is to play the innocent student Anastasia Steele in the upcoming movie. We’re leaving the official blurb up from E.L. James as we cannot believe our eyes.

It is reported Dakota is working on another film, Cymbeline. Well, we think she should quit that immediately as Fifty fans have waited long enough. Whatever that movie is, it’s not nearly as important as Fifty Shades. Dakota needs to get practising all those safe words, not to mention that inner goddess. She also has to get the art of biting that bottom lip right.

So, where shall we start?  Are we happy with the choice of Anastasia? How will Dakota look behind the counter of the DIY store and driving her battered old banger of a car which she loves? How will she manage the “bracing, cleansing, damp air of Seattle”? That has always made us laugh in the book as an English woman describes Seattle. It’s damp alright, but not as damp as London…

Having had a poke around at reactions to the news, reactions are mixed. Naturally, there will be those people whom this casting will disappoint, but we’re just thrilled that Universal has made the this decision. Dakota Johnson will be made a star from this and it truly is an unforgettable role. The female lead in the Fifty trilogy has been one of the most talked about women in the world since the books launched onto bookshelves across the globe and became a world-wide phenomenon. Give us your reaction and talk us through your thoughts of your favourite scenes.

Armie Hammer a new candidate for Christian Grey

Hammer co-starred in David Fincher’s The Social Network, about how Facebook was found and created. As the potential release date for the most hyped movie of the decade draws closer each day towards summer 2014, fans of the Fifty Shades of Grey books and its movie adaptation are waiting almost impatiently for Universal Studios and Focus Features to announce the lucky actor who’ll play the hot and steamy Mr. Christian Grey. Until now, many would have happily bet money on The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder to get the part, but it looks like there are many other new actors coming onto the scene who could very well give Mr. Somerhalder a run for his money.

Armie Hammer might be under the radar as far as the Christian Grey talk goes, but he’s slowly climbing the ladder with his classic good looks and fresh face. This relatively unknown hottie is best known for his role in The Social Network, J. Edgar and will be in the upcoming movie The Lone Ranger alongside Johnny Depp.

Ian somerhalder focus on his Charity While we wait for Casting News on Christian Grey

Is Somerhalder’s sudden Fifty Shades black out a sign he’s out of the running? Well, a comment from “Watch What Happens Live” earlier in March could swing either way. When he was asked about Christian Grey, the actor answered: “listen, there are so many young boys in Hollywood that are up for this role. I think they have a very big job ahead of them casting this role. So, I can’t say anything other than it’s a very interesting story and whoever plays that role is going to have a lot of fun, rehearsal time.”

This is a contrast to Somerhalder’s earlier enthusiasm. Somerhalder was even looking up how to equip his own dungeon, but as one fan noted “Ian does not seem quite as confident anymore.”

Stephen Amell, who is another possible contender, recently hinted that the Fifty Shades of Grey casting is underway, but there have been no official announcements. So, this doesn’t necessarily mean that Somerhalder is out of the game, but maybe the actor has either realised his chances are less or simply he’s got bored waiting around to become Christian Grey. Hopefully, we’ll get some certain news one way or another.

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.

Is unknown Poppy Delevigne set to play Anastasia Steele

With the movie set for release as early as the summer of next year, we’re expecting to hear something about the casting of the Fifty Shades of Grey movie in the near future. There are rumors abound, and we’ve just stopped knowing what to believe anymore, but still we go out and hunt down the latest bit of gossip on the casting.

Last week, the buzz was that Emma Watson was set to play innocent Anastasia Steele in the movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey, but since, the Harry Potter actress has outright denied the rumors that she’ll star in the movie adaptation of E.L. James’s trilogy.

This week, a new girl is on the block and has suddenly come out of the blue. Model Poppy Delevingne is rumored to be in the front running as Anastasia Steele, and apparently, the casting directors are eyeing p the 26-year-old for the part of Ana in the movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey.

Could Elizabeth Olsen Be Cast as Anastasia Steele

“It’s had a huge impact on society. Apparently rope sales have skyrocketed because women who’ve read the book are really getting into this, which is kind of great,” said Olsen, “It’s such a taboo for women to actually discuss sexuality without the help of Cosmopolitan. All of a sudden, this book has become a sensation because the women reading it haven’t had access to this kind of thing before. I was talking to a guy who was making a job about it, saying ‘Clearly these women just need Fifty Shades Romance.’ In a way, he’s right.”

The fundamental question is whether Elizabeth Olsen would say yes to the part of Anastasia Steele. She’s already said yes back in 2012, so it’s a possibility.

When outright asked whether she’d be interested in taking up the leading female role, Elizabeth Olson said, “Sure, if the script is any good.”

Once Olsen is back on the radar as Anastasia Steele, she’ll face some tough competition from other actresses including Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke, Gilmore Girls star Alexis Bledel, Twilight actress Ashley Greene and many more. Does Olsen have what it takes to play the part of Anastasia Steele in the movie adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey? Could you imagine the less famous Olsen girl in the red room of pain? If not, who would you pick as Anastasia Steele for the upcoming movie adaptation of E.L. James’s best selling erotic trilogy? Who don’t you want to see cast?

Jensen Ackles as Christian Grey

Fans have been going crazy over casting speculations over who will be cast as Christian grey In Fifty Shades of Grey Movie. Jensen joins the growing list which include Ian Somerhalder,Matt Bomer and Henry Cavill as the leading contenders for the role

“Yet he seems to truly personify Christian Grey,” said the Examiner, “Jensen Ackles may not be a part of the Christian Grey world, but he has many other traits that make him perfect for the role. Jensen has a quiet confidence and the charisma to charm any woman. As seen in interviews, he also has the presence needed to play the very wealthy Grey Enterprise Holding’s CEO. Christian Grey is a skilled, yet modest, pianist and singer. There are many scenes from the book where Ana Steele finds Christian playing the piano alone. She is in awe of his abilities and grows a deeper love for the complex man,” continues the Examiner, “Jensen Ackles is known for being a talented singer and guitar player, often taking the stage for jam sessions. While on the series ‘Dark Angel’, Jensen also played a Chopin piece on the piano.”

The examiner makes a good case for Jensen Ackles as Christian Grey, but does he have what it takes to knock Ian Somerhalder off the top spot to grab the whip-wielding crowing spot of Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of E.L. James’s famous books. A lot could still happen between now and the official casting, so perhaps Jensen could gain popularity, or maybe another unknown talent could steal the top spot for Christian Grey. Hopefully Universal will put all of us out of our miseries soon! 

Henry Cavill and Emilia Clarke gain support from social media

Cavill might have started lower down the list, the Man of Steel star has been gaining in popularity bit by bit, and is even tipped by some to be the most likely of the big three, along with Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer to be cast.

Both Emilia and Cavill have a lot going for them, and many fans are beginning to take note. Both actors have received a lot of focus on social networking sites, and are becoming increasingly popular in fan made trailers.

It’s very easy to splice Henry Cavill into a Fifty Shades fan made trailer after a fragrance campaign he participated in a couple of years back that bears an uncanny resemblance to Christian Grey. While Clarke, has the innocent, big blue-eyed beauty that we come to expect from Anastasia Steele. Her role as platinum blonde Daenerys in Game of Thrones has shown us that Clarke is more than just a pretty face.

Looking at the fan made trailer, it’s easy to see why Cavill and Clarke make a smoking hot pair and why more and more fans would love to see them together in the movie adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. So, what do you think? Would you like to see Emilia and Henry together too?

Matt Damon to star in Fifty Shades of Grey

It’s going to be one of the hottest movies of the decade, so it’s understandable why a number of actors and actresses are desperate in getting cast. But it’s not just the unknown who want to delve into the world of the red room of pain, but better-known actors, even some A-listers.

The latest name to be thrown into the mix where casting is concerned is one that surprises us too – Matt Damon.

So far the project has had its fair share of big names. Angelina Jolie expressed an interest in Fifty Shades of Grey a while back, and many think she’d make a great Elena or perhaps she should use her directing skills to bring the raunchy movie to life. Ryan Gosling has been linked with Christian Grey since Universal Studios and Focus Features bought the rights, but his favor continues to fluctuate when set against Ian Somerhalder, Matt Bomer and British actor Henry Cavill.

Alexis Bledel in Fifty Shades Movie as Anastasia Steele

Alexis Bledel is probably the number one fan favorite to play Anastasia Steele in 50 shades of grey movie. When asked what she thought about playing in this role, she replied with.

“I really don’t know what to say about that,” she responded. But after being pressed more and asked if she would star in the movie she loosened up a bit.

“I have no idea,” confessed the actress, “You know, I really don’t know a lot about it, except that fans have made a trailer online. I know as much as you know. I’ve seen what you’ve seen, and I’ve probably had a similar reaction to yours.”

It looks like Alexis doesn’t want to reply neither here nor there to press questions.

But things have been rather manic for Alexis lately, especially with the release of Remember Sunday, a story about a lonely New Orleans waitress who meets a cute jewelry clerk, with whom she falls in love with, only to discover he has a brain aneurysm that wipes his short term memory every night. Not to mention in real life she’s getting married to Mad Men star Vincent Kartheiser. 

Things to appear to be moving away from Alexis’s favor, since the latest rumor is that Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke has been cast as Anastasia Steele, but there may be no truth in the above rumor, and we’re still waiting for official confirmation. After the whole Emma Watson issue, we’ve learnt to be skeptical. 

Fifty Shades of Grey Casting Rumors Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone

Universal Pictures and Focus Features are the teases of the Century. Now that we have a director for the Fifty Shades movies, we’re just sitting here, biting our nails in anticipation for any casting news, yet so far any forthcoming information has been nada.

Until now, we’ve only had our own guesses to fall back on, watching the fan favorites fluctuate on a daily basis along with the odds on which hot actor or actress will be cast in the role of Christian Grey or Anastasia Steele.

Henry Cavill, Matt Bomer and Ian Somerhalder are the top Christian Grey favorites to date, however while their continuous popularity continues to grow on a daily basis, Ryan Gosling is another actor more and more are willing to bet their money on.

Gosling was an initial popular candidate for the role of Christian Grey, however it seems like Gosling is getting his groove back in the part of Christian Grey. So the question is, who would be a good fit for Gosling to star alongside him as Anastasia Steele?

One reason why Gosling has become such a hot commodity these days is thanks to his part in the Gangster Squad, so perhaps his former co-star Emma Stone might be a good fit.

Stone has the look – she manages to be both beautiful and has the “girl-next-door” thing about her. In fact, the pair are such a popular choice they have appeared in a number of fan made trailers which have gone viral, where Gosling and Stone are depicted as the kinky pair. Due to their content and seductive allure, these video clips have gathered thousands of hits on YouTube alone.

After their roles in “Crazy, Stupid, Love” and “Gangster Squad”, it’s evident that Gosling and Stone carry some amazing onscreen chemistry. They have not been afraid to get sweaty and intimate in their roles, so why wouldn’t they be able to take it up a notch in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie?

Right now the race is on, but if Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are cast opposite each other, we can definitely be certain it will be a steamy hot production of Fifty Shades of Grey.

So what do you think? Would you like to see Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in the roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele?

Gus Van Sant to Direct Fifty Shades of Grey Movie

While fans are busy discussing who’ll be cast as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, there is one crucial element of the movie that we all keep forgetting – the director.

Even the studios and E.L. James have said that casting will not take place until a director is found, so we’re pretty sure we’re not going to discover who’ll be playing Christian Grey or Anastasia Steele until this is resolved.

It’s a tasty position for any budding director, and while Fifty Shades of Grey may not be considered high culture, it is pretty much guaranteed to be one of the biggest movies of the decade.

One director who is seeking to add his name to the list is Gus Van Sant, who has made quite an unusual demonstration on his bid to become director.

The twice Oscar-nominated director has shot a steamy scenes with one Christian Grey favorite, Alex Pettyfer, to land the job of director, according to the Wrap. Eager to prove he’s the ideal director, he shot the test reel at his own initiative.

Top 5 Actors to Play Christian Grey would be Bradley Cooper, Johnny Depp, Robert Pattinson, Brad Pitt, and Channing Tatum

In the past few years, the “50 Shades of Grey” book series has taken the literary world by storm. Readers from all walks of life have been mesmerized and caught up in the story of how love develops for the rich and charming Christian Grey. Based on the success of the book, and the demand of readers and Hollywood moguls alike, the first book in the trilogy is on tap to be made into a motion picture. It is predestined to be a blockbuster, but selecting the right person to take on the role of Christian Grey will be one of the foremost challenges for the director. Not only will the person chosen need to be able to tackle the many sides and personalities of this dark character, but he will also need to have inherent good looks and a rogue, boyish charm. There are quite a few capable leading men in Hollywood, but the Top 5 Actors to Play Christian Grey would be Bradley Cooper, Johnny Depp, Robert Pattinson, Brad Pitt, and Channing Tatum.

There are two main areas of importance that need to be considered when an actor is chosen for this role. In the first place, the actor’s previous work can be good way to measure his probable success for playing Christian Grey. As Grey is a complicated character, with many aspects to his personality, the individual who plays him in the motion picture for “50 Shades of Grey” will need to be able to accurately portray both the dark side and the light side of this man. For example, a glimpse into Johnny Depp’s resume reveals an actor who has played a myriad of characters from a social outcast and a pirate to an eccentric private investigator or a serial murdering barber. Secondly, Christian Grey is, by description, a very good-looking individual who befuddles nearly every woman he comes in contact with just by his handsome appearance. The aforementioned five actors have all been given the title of The Sexiest Man in America by one source or another at some point in their careers. -

Of course, there are dozens and dozens of actors on American and foreign soil who will more than likely be fighting to be chosen for such a coveted role, but the Top 5 Actors to Play Christian Grey will be speculated on and buzzed about in the months leading up to when the filming of the motion picture gets underway. Many films in the past have taken relatively unknown actors and thrust them into the spotlight with a huge movie role, and such individuals have gone on to become massive stars. Sometimes having an actor unrecognized for his previous achievements can help a movie more than hinder it. Undoubtedly, whoever is chosen will be well scrutinized by the millions of readers who have become Christian Grey fans. After all, the good boy that is Christian Grey appeals to some; the bad boy that is his alter ego is what attracts others. Overall, whether it is a Hollywood icon or an unknown man who becomes Christian Grey, he will probably go down in history one way or another.
