Rowan Atkinson and Rosie O’Donnell. 

Mwahahahaha

Christian Bale resembles Christian Grey the most. He’s exactly who I thought of when I read the book: arrogant, assertive, successful, and cold. Him or Leonardo Dicaprio.

I don’t care much about Ana, but Amanda Seyfried doesn’t sound like the type. Ana has to be innocent, non-sexual, homely, and kind of a plain Jane.

Matt Bomer!!

@TequilaKisses@xanga - I agree with Christian Bale for Christian Grey’s character, absolutely. 

And I don’t think Amanda Seyfriend is a good pick for Anastasia.  I think Zoey Deschanel might be able to pull of the looks, but I don’t know about her ability to play Ana’s character…

I think they shouldn’t make the movie. 

I hate the message of it. 
And mostly everything Amanda Seyfried has been in is awful.. then again, maybe she’s fitting for this. 

Ian Somerhalder as Christian Grey, and Lucy Hale as Anastasia. 

christian bale (his intensity is totally what i imagined!!! [but how do you make him look 28ish again!!??]) , and emmy rossum i guess out of your picks

Hmm, I didn’t know I lived under a rock, somebody care to enlighten me?

I don’t think the books would make good movies, but if somehow did decide to try it, then my vote would be Ian Somerhalder or Christian Bale for Christian, and either Kristen Bell or Mila Kunis for Ana. Drew Barrymore would be good for Ana, but I think she is too old..

I’m really wondering how they’ll turn this into a movie.
I work in a bookstore.  We’ve sold about 500 copies of the first book since April 3rd. 

@xsimplepleasuresx@xanga - People outside of the loop unite!

…Oh, I see. It is a jack off book for female Twilight lovers. That explains a lot.

@LupusInvictus@xanga - I’m glad to be outside the loop on this one if its about twilight fan girl sex fantasies.

@LupusInvictus@xanga - @xsimplepleasuresx@xanga - I wish I didn’t know anything about this… trust me, you’re not missing anything. 

I haven’t actually read these books, but from what I’ve been hearing, it absolutely kills me that this is what is considered “good reading” these days. I’ll stick with Atwood and Dybek, thanks.

Christian Bale is the most like the Christian character.

But frankly, this book is fucking shit, I am so pissed off that I paid $10 for it, it’s so incredibly stupid, boring, unrealistic, it’s Twilight for adults. In fact it’s worse. After reading that crap I realized my dream to be a writer isn’t so far off.

I’ve never read this book, but the two most attractive are Christian Bale and Emmy Rossum. Speaking of which, I really want her to put out another album.

Okay, I just read about the books on Wikipedia. Since when does erotica become movies? At least, the kind of movies without a disclaimer reading that all actors in this film are 18 or older…

They sound pretty bad.

I get so creeped out when I see the strangest / most random people buying these books (like the kind that you would never expect to read this genre)! Part of me thinks, “Oh, maybe they don’t know what it’s about and they’re just buying it because of the hype,” and the other part thinks, “Oh my god how could they not know what it’s about.”

Guess I live under a rock.

It’s okay, though, I have better books there..

So–wait. Let me get this straight.Christian Bale is the most
sympathetic actor to play Christian Grey? Intriguing. I literally just
finished writing an essay contrasting 50 Shades of Grey and American
Psycho. The first person narration of 50 Shades is strikingly similar to
Patrick Bateman’s first person stream of consciousness narrative,
Christian Grey’s image, ego, and dialogue form an uncanny match with
Bateman’s personality, and both books contain a gratuitous fascination
with sex–specifically taboo-ed sex. It seems that the biggest
difference between the two books is that James chooses to water her work
down with love and feelings, and Ellis tends to pump his with violence
and disconnect.

Like Regina, I also work in a bookstore. The book sells out every single
week. I am floored. I usually read all the New York Times bestsellers,
so I picked this one up. My advice, save your money. There’s better
erotica out there, and there are plenty of better novels. Then again, if
you thought Twilight was a bit complex and overwhelming, and you love
reading about mindlessness, this book may be perfectly suited for you. Otherwise, steer clear.

Mmmmm, Christian Bale! :3

But reading some of these comments, I don’t think I’ll be reading this book so I also probably won’t see the movie.

@MoonFaeEyryan@xanga - LOL I was just thinking sweet, if this is the quality of best sellers these days then maybe I would stand a chance!

I agree with both your picks… Chris Pines and Amanda Seyfried will rock in those roles.. woot

If this movie sells, it’ll probably be because of the extensive sex scenes, since the story is not all that great. In my opinion it’s rather unrealistic and a little too overboard. But that’s my opinion. Christian Bale would be a bit too old for Christan’s Gray’s character, right?

i will be upset if amanda seyfried plays it. i don’t think of her at ALL. i’m a fan of lucy hale or mila kunis. as for the man… ian somerhalder. yes.

I’d love to see Rooney Mara. I thought that Ian Smolderhalder was already cast as Christian…

I still have a hard time getting used to the success of this trilogy. For obvious reasons, the author is avoiding talking about the truth behind these books. Originally it started off as a Twilight fanfiction called Master of the Universe. I discovered it around 2 years ago and was immediately caught up it in it. I haven’t read the Fifty Shades trilogy so I don’t know how much she has changed besides the names, I imagine she had to rewrite quite a bit because the storyline is similar to the first Twilight book – not the content, just the way the story is unfolding. This was (and still is) a very loved fanfic among Twilight fans and a lot of us read this imagining the faces of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. I wouldn’t even consider them for the roles because 1) It’s cheesy and 2) they have way better things ahead of them. I don’t know how they’re gonna make this movie considering the erotic descriptions in the books but I’m definitely curious. To me it doesn’t really matter who gets the roles, but I honestly don’t see any of the ones you listed playing Christian and Ana, especially not Chris Pines..

@x0_electric_kiss@xanga - I’m with you on Lucy Hale.  I think Mila Kunis doesn’t have an innocent enough look for Anastasia.  Ian Somerhalder is totally Christian Grey in my mind.

Amanda and Christian!!

jesse williams,Christian  he has the “Eyes”!

Chyler Leigh as Ana

I think Andrew Garfield from the new Spiderman should be Grey and Jane Levy from Suburgatory would be a great Ana Steele.  Those are who I always envision those characters resembling while reading the books.  Garfield can play off the swagger that’s required for Grey, and Levy can easily play the insecurities and some quirks of Steele.

Christian Bale is who came to mind first, he definitely fits this role! I think this is because of his role in American Psycho though that leads me to this. I picture Ana being played by someone like Ellen Page or even Anne Hathaway.
