Is Fifty Shades of Grey Actress Dakota Johnson secretly dating ‘Sherlock’

 

The Movie Fifty shades of grey

So what is it we hear about Dakota Johnson dating the “Sherlock”? We are all wondering if she really is dating Benedict Cumberbatch. They are reported to first meet at the MET Gala event held in the Big Apple. Also told that Benedict was seen covering his face with napkins which made Johnson laugh. If this is true about them dating then it will definitely be heart breaking for all the female fans of the ‘Sherlock’ but it also means good news for him as he was single for a couple of years. Anyway, there has been no confirmation to this rumor or on whether Dakota and Jordan Masterson are broken up. Also, before all this, Cumberbatch was dating Fashion Designer Anna James in 2012.

The father of the actress Dakota Johnson, Don Johnson has faith in his daughter’s acting capabilities and believes that she will not let down her fans and will live up to their expectations by portraying the character as expected. The proud father says that Dakota is a gifted actress and this is going to be only one part of a long line of tremendous performances. Still, he has shown no interest in watching the movie just because it’s not his type.

Also new, Rita Ora talked about her new music album which is followed by her break up with DJ Calvin Harris and is inspired by the love they shared. People who will get acquainted with this record will be able to tell how much he meant to her. Rita Ora says that she just knew that all she wanted to do was an honest, vulnerable love music album. She adds that it was an amazing experience for her, the feeling of love and probably was one of the strongest inspirations for this album. The record started from her being single then her being in a relationship followed by honeymoon period and the feeling that nothing can go wrong to finally figuring out that it has died down. There were hints about them breaking up since the shoot of the film, Fifty Shades of Grey, but still this breakup caught many people by surprise.

TheMovie Fifty Shades Can it be tasteful and artistic? Which none of us would ever associate with 50 Shades of Grey- the book! The actress Eloise Mumford who plays Katherine Kavanagh (Kate), roommate and best friend of Anastasia Steele, in the movie thinks that it will gain acknowledgment differently as that of the book. She adds about the director by saying that Sam Taylor-Johnson is such a great director and Seamus McGarvey is the cinematographer of the film who did Anna Karenina. She says that it is going to be beautiful and more than anything else the story is really about love and romance. Lastly, she says that Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson is the perfect pair to play the leads.

The most awaited movie is about a super rich businessman Christian Grey who secretly practices BDSM falls in love with a college student (Anastasia Steele) who is still a virgin. The movie will be seen capturing all of it and will definitely show the new budding love and relationship the duo will share. It is directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson which stars Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson is all set to be released Valentine’s Day next year (2015).

The Movie Fifty Shades gets yet another unofficial trailer

When it comes to eager fans of ‘Movie Fifty shades...’ they will leave no stone unturned to catch the latest trailer. But when the producers are not ready with one, then what is the last resort left to the fans? Of course, a fan made trailer, what else? When it comes to fan made trailers, the trend has been going on for many months now, with some crazy in a positive way fan coming up with almost real trailers.

These trailers are mostly put together by combining the footage from both Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele body of past work. We can’t really say that both of them have an expansive body of work, but the creative fans are pretty serious and adept at selecting the right footage and editing and combining it and setting it to a tune too. One of the first fan made trailers that surfaced was by a fan called JLongbone, a YouTube user.

He had craftily, again in a positive way, put together a one minute video showing the two engrossed in doing what they do best, and make drool-worthy and voyeuristic love. On one hand, the Anastasia we see in the trailer is a college graduate and inexperienced and on the other hand, the mature and experienced Christian Grey, who tries to seduce and manipulate her. The one-minute trailer has been titled ‘Red Band Teaser Trailer’ and is set to the song, ‘Try A Little Tenderness’ by Otis Redding.

Though the trailer warns the audience of nudity, it has been aesthetically compiled and edited and only black and white shots of the pair has been used. Another trailer, which has recently surfaced is also a work of art by another ‘The Movie FiftyShades’ enthusiast and contains, like JLongbone’s work, snips of Dakota and Jamie’s past work. But this trailer also tries to include other elements which fit like a glove in a BDSM inspired film adaptation like, which bear the unique ‘Movie Fifty shades....’ brand and some shots are also of Jamie Dornan running/jogging.

Now if you have been following the pictures from the shoot, you would remember that there was a certain sequence in which Jamie, as Christian Grey was seen running/ jogging through Gastown in Vancouver, where the entire movie has been shot. Borrowing that imagery, this fan made trailer too, tries to make it as appealing and as original as possible and sometimes they do deserve the kudos, we knowing well that most of these creative fans are upcoming movie directors or documentary filmmakers who despite of not sitting on rich cash reserves do not let that affect the quality of their work.

If they were sponsored by some movie studio or big production house, we can bet that the results would have been even more astounding. But even before these fan made trailers of The Movie Fifty Shades made their way into our must watch list.

Jamie Dornan is very busy in fifty shades of grey shooting

When you are successful, you have to pay a price for it and it shows when you are a certain Jamie Dornan and your producers are your fans. Yes, that is what has happened with Jamie Dornan recently. The 31 year old actor, who has shot to fame after being chosen as the lead actor of the movie version of the novel “Fifty Shades...” used to be a television actor. But you already knew that. What we bet you didn’t know was that even after bidding adieu to his television projects like “The Fall” and “once Upon a time” his producers still want him back.

And the father of one has already committed to return to crime drama “The Fall”, where he will star opposite the beautiful Gillian Anderson and reprise his role as a serial killer. The shooting of “The Fall” starts in Belfast, at the end of the month. But his other television serial, “Once Upon a Time” is not in for such luck, it seems. The fantasy series in which he starred in the role of the huntsman and Sheriff Graham, wants him back for the third season, but there is a little challenge or difficulty, for his character was killed off, there is hope maybe, his “Fifty Shades...” schedule permitting.

Jamie Dornan left the show after he was selected to play the lead in this movie and the executive producer of the fantasy series, Edward Kitsis has said that though his character in the series has been killed off, he has still managed to make an appearance, now and then, for the past two seasons. He was introduced to the audience as Sheriff Graham, but after his sudden and untimely demise of the character, he was re-introduced as the huntsman, and in season 2 he made his presence felt in a flashback sequence. Executive producer of the show Adam Horowitz has seconded Kitsis’ opinion and said that they miss Jamie dearly.

But the executive producers know that he is very busy with the schedule and coming back for a third season on “Once Upon a Time” sounds like a distant dream for them. Ironically, it was because of another television actor, Charlie Hunnam, that Jamie got the opportunity in the first place to start working on this project. It was Charlie Hunnam who was initially selected to play the role of Christian Grey, the tormented business mogul, but citing his work, schedule and commitment to his show “Sons of Anarchy”, the British actor left “Movie Fifty shades”

But what was considered a misfortune for Hunnam quickly became a blessing in disguise for Dornan. After all, it is not every day that a television actor (no hard feelings for the medium) and a former Calvin Klein model gets the opportunity of a lifetime to work on the literary adaptation of a hugely successful book. And when you have a companion like a certain Dakota Johnson, do you really need any other distractions? Kidding... Jamie if happily married with a kid, ladies!

Fifty Shades of Grey Movie Cast News: Jamie Dornan, Katie Cassidy Talk 50 Shades Roles

When the topic of discussion is the casting rumours of “Fifty Shades....” you can expect a new twist and turn anytime. First, there was the news that Charlie Hunnam has been cast as Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of the novel trilogy penned by Erica James, and then just as suddenly it had been announced, it was revealed that he had left the project to devote more time to his television show, “Sons of Anarchy”. This news not only left the fans of the franchise and Charlie Hunnam disheartened, but also forced the casting team to look for a suitable substitute.

When talking about the new actor who filled the shoes of Charlie Hunnam, Jamie Dornan, it has to be mentioned that he too is a television actor and has been known for his roles in “The Fall” and “Once Upon a Time”. Initially, the fans of the franchise had a little trouble accepting him as the new Christian Grey, but with a lot of support from his chiselled good looks and Erica James, they have finally warmed up to him. A character like Christian Grey has many women in his life and the latest one among them is the 21 year old Anastasia Steele whom he seduces and makes his submissive partner.

But the submissive partner before her, Leila, to be played by Katie Cassidy, is also a character to watch out for. When addressing the rumours of her being cast as Leila in the adaptation, at the New York Fashion Week, Katie revealed that she is indeed a fan of the novel and has put all rumours to rest by saying that she will indeed be a part of the franchise on the big screen. Her character in the novel is that of Grey’s submissive partner before he meets Ana.

They have a relationship of two and a half years, but she leaves him to be with her husband, who she eventually leaves to be with another boyfriend Geoff, Geoff is incidentally killed in an accident, which drives her to the point of insanity. The role definitely calls for some intense action with Grey and the other men in her life, and for an actor of Katie’s prowess who has been seen in “Taken” and “Gossip Girl”, we are sure it’s just another day at work. It was Erica James, who had broken the news of Katie joining the cast of “Fifty Shades...” and given her proximity to the author, we are sure that she will be the centre of attention once she starts shooting.

With the shooting of Fifty Shades Movie already underway in Vancouver, it is any day now that Katie can join Jamie on set and when the two meet, if the script holds such a possibility, we are sure that sparks will fly. To really see if the sparks fly between Jamie and Dakota, who play Christian and Ana, on reel, we have to wait till 13^th February 2015.

Tension on Fifty Shades of Grey Movie Set, Jamie Dornan Very "Protective" Over Dakota Johnson

When it is the “Fifty Shades....” how could you think that there would not be a shred of tension involved in the shooting? After all, for a film which has courted controversy right from its casting days, regarding cast changes, getting involved in another controversy was just like a slow burning ember which has now gathered flames. This time the controversy has a lot to do with the lead pair of the film, that is Anastasia and Christian, or actually you can say, it has a lot to do with the actors who are playing the roles of Christian and Ana, Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson.

The latest news to come from the set is that Jamie Dornan is “overprotective” of Dakota Johnson. The relationship between Jamie and Dakota, on and off the set, is going great, and that is partly because of the difference in the very nature of Dakota and Jamie, which balances their relationship. It has been noted by an observer on the set and a source that Jamie Dornan keeps to himself mostly on the set and is reserved, who is amiable but does not talk too much to the cast and the crew, but on the other hand, Dakota gets along well with almost anyone and everyone on the sets, be it the members of the cast or the crew.

Jamie thinks that precisely that is the reason why the 24 year old is losing her concentration and is getting distracted on the set. Jamie Dornan is like a big protector on the set and often tries to help Dakota in such situations by walking over to the person and asking them politely to leave or end the conversation. It seems like Jamie is taking his onscreen role a little too personally and keeping up with it off screen too. Jamie Dornan is acting in the role of Christian Grey, who has been described as a protective and masochist self made billionaire, while Dakota Johnson has been described in the novel as a naive and coy college graduate who plays the role of the submissive partner in the BDSM inspired relationship they eventually form.

The characters, it seems, have gone too under the skin of their characters, not that we are complaining. The on screen chemistry that we have already seen between Dakota and Jamie, it seems, has now transcended behind the screens too. It has also been reported that despite the fact that “Fifty Shades...” is going to be one of her most famous roles, Dakota Johnson has ‘nailed’ her role as Anastasia Steele. Considering the fact she was among the first members of the cast to be chosen and finalised, the journey of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson’s young daughter seems to be headed for the right destination, and for Jamie Dornan, slipping into the shoes of ex-Christian Grey Charlie Hunnam, might have been quite the task, but we bet that if the shoe fits, one should wear it, isn’t it Mr. Grey, erm, Mr. Dornan? 

Fifty Shades of Grey Author EL James 'Heads Back To Vancouver' As Filming Resumes

Surely you’ve heard of the saying, ‘all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy’. If there is one group of people who live this saying, it has to be the team of “Fifty Shades ofGrey”. We had already heard that the team was shooting in Vancouver and some of the crucial scenes had already been shot, when the weather started playing spoilt sport and there was also a well earned Christmas break waiting for them. Having returned from a well deserved break, the “Fifty Shades.....” team is now ready to resume shooting and E. L. James, the author who has penned the racy novels, is also not the one to sit back and enjoy when she knows that her baby is out there. By baby, we of course mean her venture, the film version of her novel. After all, she is also one of the producers of the adaptation.

The film, which is slated for a Valentine’s release in February 2015, is being directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, and ever since the shooting of the film began in December in Vancouver, the two power women, Sam and Erica have been deeply engrossed and associated with the project. Hence, when the team resumed shooting in Vancouver, it was only natural that Erica would ‘head back’ and join them. While the cast and the crew of the adaptation were busy celebrating with their respective friends, the British author and mother of two, too, was busy spending the holidays and the season of sharing with her family which comprises her two adolescent sons and husband. It was Twitter which informed us how she was preparing to travel light, or not, to Canada to be a part of the shooting.

While we are talking about the people, who are behind the scenes, it would be unfair not to mention what the people who will be seen on screen are doing. The lead pair, of Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan, who play the pivotal roles of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, were also back to resume their roles, having spent the two-week hiatus with their families. Dakota was seen enjoying her break with mother, Melanie Griffith and her sisters, having spent some time with her boyfriend, Jordan Masterson in Aspen. Jamie Dornan aka Christian Grey, had welcomed their first child, a daughter, way back in December and without a doubt, the Irish hunk must have spent his time off with his wife and daughter.

The cast of “Fifty Shades...” also includes a name, Rita Ora. While the English singer and songwriter has not started shooting yet, she is soon due on the sets and the “R.I.P” singer, utilised her time off properly, partying away in London with friends. Well, now that the team is back and ready to start shooting, we are waiting for the latest updates on information and pictures, right from the shooting, as it happens. It does not harm, if one is well informed, does it?

‘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’.

An Beautiful romance of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey

With a novel like “Fifty Shades of Grey”, the author E.L. James has not only brought out BDSM and other sexual acts out from the closet. The novel can be called the romance of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, but it is probably the one of its kind romance novel where sexual practices like bondage, discipline, submission, masochism etc. are brought out into the fore. The romance between Ana and Christians what forms the core of the novel. But the seemingly perfect romance between this college graduate and the intimidating businessman takes a turn when he resorts to the above mentioned sexual practices.

The harmless romance takes a turn for the murky when the docile college student, Anastasia Steele and the 27 year old business magnate turn to ropes and masks and whips and spanking to derive sexual pleasure. Their romance begins out of the blue when Kate, Ana’s friend is suddenly left indisposed and she has to fill in for Kate and take Grey’s interview for the college newspaper. Though the interview does not quite go as planned, she is left with an indelible impression of Grey. Later when he visits the hardware shop where she works, they end up exchanging phone numbers and also fix a photo shoot for the newspaper article.


Over coffee they both begin discussing their families and their relationship statuses, and they both come to know that they are single. The character of Christian Grey is not the run of the mill kind of a romantic guy, and that is made evident to the character of Anastasia Steele, many times in the novel. Though Grey shows signs of sensitivity, starting with pulling Anastasia out of the way of a rushing cyclist, yet for the most part of the novel he remains as grey as his surname. The sensitivity is reinforced when he sends her a copy of Tess of the d’Urbervilles, which is a first edition. And when he comes to pick up a very drunk Anastasia, after she ends up dialling him in a drunken state also makes Christian Grey a true romantic hero.

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.
