Fifty Shades of Grey

I am sure most of you have heard about the book Fifty Shades of Grey… so with all the hype I decided to read it. I can usually read just about anything, except horror. I can read it, I just wouldn’t be sleeping much at all after reading it. I prefer romance type books though, or something photography related. So I got Fifty Shades and let me say after all I heard about it, I didn’t think it was that bad at all. I braced myself for it to be a lot worse than it was. Yes, a few times while reading I turned fifty shades of RED! And there were times, that I had no idea what they were talking about, thankfully I know how to google things. And even once I broke out into a fit of the giggles.. Maybe I was a little too innocent for it. But I finished book one and I actually liked it. It wasn’t “mommy porn” to me. I am not into that kind of thing. Yes, it is blunt in places of the book, and yes the book talks about sex. But for me I like the characters… a lot!!! Especially Ana! Love her! And now there is talk about a movie.  Peronally I doubt I will be watching the movie.  Some things are better as a book. 

So with the movie talk, Channing Tatum  would like to play Christian Grey

but only if his wife plays Ana.  Sorry Channing you don't look like the "Christian" in my mind. 


Another hopeful is Ian Somerhalder


as Christian Grey... and all I can think is "ewww"... Sorry but no! 


Alexander Skarsgard

 thinks he would be good at playing Christian.  I'm not feeling it for him either.

As for Anastasia Steele, Lucy Hale

 would like to play her. I honestly have no idea about this year.  She is supposedly on, Pretty Little Liars, but I don't think she look "innocent" enough for Ana! 

Ashley Benson  would also like to play Anastasia Steele, and if she was a brunette (easy fix) then she looks more like Ana to me!

And Emma Roberts  would like to play Anastasia.  But she hasn't even read the book.  She has been quoted for saying ""I haven't read it, I don't even understand, but yeah, it sounds awesome," she told MTV News in June. "Anything racy, hot. Sure, let's get hot."  So my vote is no on her!  Plus she doesn't have the face of Ana that I think of. 

If I was casting the movie, which I am not.  But I would have George Clooney  as Christian Grey... and yes, I know that George is like double Christian's age.  (I have a thing for older guys).  But George is rich, powerful, handsome, even a little dark..  I think he is a good fit.  Its's make up, they can make him look younger. 

As for Anastasia Steele... I see Anne Hathaway as her.    Beautiful, young, brunette, innocent, sweet, charming... yes, she is perfect!  


Of course those are my opinions, and I am sure neither one will be in the movie.  So if you have read the book let's hear your thoughts!
