On Super Bowl Sunday you will see the first glimpse of Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson as the stars of Fifty Shades Of Grey. The funny thing about that is the cost of the ad will cost more than the salaries that Universal Pictures is paying the two actors who will play Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. Apparently the two were cast after a screen test that was incredibly hot. The studio is hoping that the name of the movie will make up for the lack of star power and that it will follow the Twilight example of make a ton of money and pay your actors little. If the movie does great, the actors will do better in the sequels money wise but will make huge money in projects that have nothing to do with the films.
The casting could have been a whole lot worse. Charlie is great on Sons Of Anarchy and Dakota remains one of the people I would most like to have a drink with, so I can't complain about her too much either, except I always have thought of her more as a comedy type actress.
BLAH.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awful photo of Dakota
Are we gonna see his peen in this? That's all I care about.
ReplyDelete@a non +1
DeleteIf the movie isn't NC-17, then they might as well air it on Lifetime at 7PM on a Sunday. Sandwich it between a couple Murder She Wrotes to hit the target demo.
ReplyDeleteI've read that it will be NC17. I'm excited, but I haven't seen an NC17 movie since Showgirls.
DeleteDakota has a looooooong face.
ReplyDeleteShe looks like her dad - it's all I see when I look at her. Might make the film better
DeleteCharlie kinda looks like the flesh beard baby of Spencer Pratt and Jesse "Vanilla Gorilla" James.
ReplyDeleteLol Kristin
DeleteHa ha ha he does!
DeleteIt doesn't matter who they hire as actors...if the script sucks as bad as the book then the movie is going to be a big pile of crap.

ReplyDeleteCharlie weenie? Yes please! I refuse to read the books (need to preserve brain cells, nor the cinematic renderings, however I'm up for Charlie shlong pics fo shiz!
ReplyDeleteThese two just don't do it for me. She might be okay, but Christian is sleek and smooth, this guy is a little too rough around the edges. He looks like a hood not an executive.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he will shave and cut his hair before filming.
DeleteA non: I do hope he does some downstairs grooming! Means I don't need to floss between meals.
DeleteCharlie hunnam in sons of anarchy and Charlie hunnam in queer as folk is apples and oranges imo
Delete50 Shades of boring! That is just too much blonde in a couple. Might as well make it stop motion cartoon with Barbie and Ken.
ReplyDeleteYes, Kristin! I have been saying this for ages! He's an attractive guy, but looks way to much like Spencer Pratt for my liking.
ReplyDeleteThey are the stars becuz the people they would have wanted want nothing to do with this. This will be The Canyons on a bigger budget and Hollywood understands that.
ReplyDelete@Peggy - he has more photos on IMDB where he's more clean shaven and looks much better.

Peggy sounds pretty old, but then again your name is Peggy. "He looks like a hood" lol
ReplyDeleteThat girl Dakota is butt ugly. End of story.
Haha!!! I am old!!
DeleteYou ain't the only one, pegs
DeleteShe is great. Her breakup rant in The Five Year Engagement about how old and wrinkly Emily Blunt is compared to her was hilarious. And nobody has uploaded that scene you YouTube. Where are the brave copyright pirates of yesteryear when you need them? I wouldn't watch this movie for a million bucks, but I will fast forward to specific parts when it reaches premium cable.
ReplyDeletewell there goes that fantasy.
ReplyDeleteYou know what this thread needs? Pictures of Charlie "Humminah" Hunnam as Jax wet from the shower.
ReplyDeleteThat boy is hot and has acting chops. Shame he's being cast in the Showgirls of the 21st century.
Huh. That guy looks nothing at all like Christian. I thought Ian Sommerholder.
ReplyDelete+1. This movie took too long to cast. It lost momentum from the hype of the books. By the time I got to the 3rd book I just couldn't anymore & didn't care about them making a movie of it. . @seachica so true showgirls 2014 ha ha ha

ReplyDeleteHe looks hot in Pacific Rim. I've never watched Sons of Anarchy, but I'd do my wash on those abs.
ReplyDeleteI think Christian Bale 10 or 15 years ago would have been perfect for the role.
Don't care, not seeing it.
ReplyDeleteWait, 50 Shades of Meh wasn't a comedy?!
ReplyDeleteI expect the two to begin a fauxmance in 3...2....
ReplyDeleteHow am I just now realizing that this guy was the hot kid on Undeclared?!?!?
ReplyDeleteHe bulked up!
DeleteShe better start practicing her sexy lip biting skills.
ReplyDeleteOh Charlie, fodder of my sexual commiserations... Mmhmmm...
ReplyDeleteHe is one of the few actors i might embarass myself over...Like get very liquored up first for courage, then ask him for sex. Never in my life had to do thar before but would do it for a chance at his peen.
You are correct Leo and that is why it is called acting, good and great actors are chameleons
ReplyDeleteCharlie just has to polish up the English accent, shave, cut the hair and get a posh wardrobe and show us what kind of acting chops he had though yes it does depend on the script
My point was there are a few facets to Charlie hunnam. People may have only seen him as jax but that's actually my least favorite role of his.
DeleteHe was sooooooooo hot on Queer as Folk, British version. So was Aiden Gillen.
ReplyDeleteIn his interviews he seems to suggest he is picky about what projects he does because he is always thinking long term, so maybe the script is better than the book. Last I heard it was being written by a British screenwriter with some track record not some Hollywood hack.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, Tina... I didnt know that about him and never saw Queer but i will have to youtube it later to check him out...
ReplyDeleteThere is something about him besides being drop dead gprgeous which does it for me. He has whatever brad pitt had in his legends of fall days.
Ok, I'm obsessed with Charlie, so as much as I hate this, maybe we'll get to ser him naked. Dakota doesn't seem right for the part but hey, they saw something we didn't.
ReplyDeleteThe books were terrible! Actually I only made it through half the first one. If I read one more "oh my" I was going to vomit.
ReplyDeleteI am super excited to see Jax as Christian Grey. I always felt like Charlie and SOA in general are very underrated. I think he will clean up very nicely.
ReplyDelete@Eros... you are right. He is not only gorgeous, but I think he has this magnetic sex appeal thing going!
Charlie is hot, still on the fence about seeing the movie because the book was so bad. I'll probably end up renting it just to watch Charlie.
ReplyDeleteAt least he doesn't have to try and put on a crappy Brit accent, just make sure his Geordie accent doesn't creep in! Hah! He's georgous, shame he's going to do this shit.
ReplyDeleteMiscast. Miscast. Miscast!

ReplyDeleteThis book is Mommy porn. Sexually invigorated 18-35 year olds watch porn to get off. They don't read books that refer to genitals as their "sex." That's gay, and not hot. Also, blonde men remind me of pussies, like, literal pussies.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this will be as good as Showgirls. Showgirls is great trash. I mean when they have sex in the pool she looks like a fish thrashing around out of water, not erotic by glitzy lols
ReplyDeleteI am awaiting for the releasing of Fifty shades Movie. and i watch Charlie's work it is pretty awesome to see on the screen.
ReplyDeleteCharlie Hunnam
