Tomorrow I will have a fantastic post for you guys. TODAY I am
blogging about what I call cotton candy. It has no real value, has no
nutritional value, it doesn't keep you full but MAN is it good.
I, like every
other woman started reading Fifty Shades of Grey.
I read the book in 2 days, and was hungry for more! While I was reading I
realized the main characters reminded me of two other very famous
characters--Edward and Bella. Fifty Shades of Grey started out as Twilight fan
fiction, which I figured out after some internet trolling. The popularity of
Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey really says something about us as females.
The male characters like to control their women--but not just that they like to
take care of them physically and financially. It is interesting in
this day and age of independent women, non-traditional gender roles etc-- most
women (not all) still like to, (or at least like the idea of) be taken care of
by a man--above all being protected by him. If that wasn't true then these
books wouldn't be so popular. Innately we want a man to be our savior
and protector even still in 2012. Just something I find interesting.
That is not what
this post is about! This post is about who I would cast in the Fifty Shades of
Grey movie! I have really strong feelings about this.
In my head I
picture Christian Grey looking a lot like Alex Pettyfer. Dirty blonde hair and light eyes--not tan skin, but
not pale either. E.L. James describes Mr. Grey as having copper
hair--which I hope they ignore when making the movie--copper is in the
neighborhood of red. Christian Grey is no ginger.
When behavior/acting/attitude. There is no doubt in my mind that Ian
Somerhalder was absolutely made for this part. Watch him as Damon on vampire
diaries, you will be entranced. A lot of the mannerisms Grey has, I have
seen Ian do, while playing Damon. For me, he is Christian Grey.
You know who would have been perfect for this role, Ryan Philippe circa
1999. He was so good in Cruel Intentions as
the asshole who eventually has a heart. He might be okay even now I just feel
like he's too old and too known.
I have only one person I want to play Anastasia Steele. Emilia Clarke. She is
phenomenal on Game of Thrones, easily
my favorite character. I almost don't recognize her with brown hair. She is a
great actress, she has the look and based on Game of Thrones I would say she is
comfortable with nudity and sexual scenes.
So what do you guys think? Who do you picture in these roles?
Alex Pettyfer is kinda how i imagine Cristian too, except i imagine him with dark brown hair with streaks of copper through it, i hope they do something like that for the movie because i'm not that into blondes. Emilia Clarke as Ana would be perfect, she is a brilliant actress and her looks match perfectly, i just hope she can pull of a shy act because her character is Game of Thrones is so strong, and Ana is quite strong too but i think that only kicks in at the end of the first book.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree I am not a big fan of blondes either.
ReplyDeleteClarke's character on GoT starts out timid and unsure and then she becomes forceful and strong. I think unfortunately she will be overlooked. I just hope they dont cast the dreaded Kstew!
Great as Christian Grey!
