I struggle to admit that i read this book, but alas i did and quite frankly i enjoyed it. It is not a literary masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but the author never said it was nor thought it could be. However, it is not exactly what i expected when it was touted as "mommy porn". Grey is a hard core book, no pun intended, and reading it in public was a HARD LIMIT for me...
While casting this book was easy, we realize it's most likely going to find its way to late night Cinemax as oppose to the Big Screen and will not involve some of the higher level actors we have cast. Granted, my girl, Celeste was dead on with Christian. He took my breath away when i saw his picture; sort of made we want to change my name to Anatasia Steele, if only for a day or a couple of minutes but not in Seattle...
On to the good part:
Christian Grey - Jessie Pavelka
Anatasia Steele - Alexis Bledel
Kate - Leven Rambin
Jose - Taylor Lautner (maybe not Hispanic, but dark and hot and the right age)
Elliot - Ryan Gosling (i know, i know - but he is NOT Christian Grey, but could play more fun version of Christian and needs to be hot enough to pair with Kate)
Mrs. Robinson - Ellen Barkin
And if they do film in Hollywood (as oppose to the San Fernando Valley), i am so afraid they are going to try to make it funny with casting the inner goddess as Sofia Vergara who pops in Ana's head during the flirtatious exchanges. PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT.
