I personally think after going through this book myself that the movie is going to bomb.I'm willing to bet my measily $12 hr job that it'll winde up on HBO or something along those lines and .I noticed they didn't approach any really good actors to do the movie just ones on the come up .Ryan gosling is a decent actor who gets wayyy too much credit for doing nothing basically .I think this movie will be recieved the same way the canyons was recieved its a poorly written book too.Its just basically some womens wet dream ripped straight from playgirl magazines.

They girl just needs to be average-looking and not very smart, just like the readers of the book. But Christian needs to be dangerous and refined. Producers were right if they wanted Ryan Gosling and Garrett Hedlund for the role, they have the ambiguity required to play Grey convincingly. Pattinson is too feminine looking, no matter if the author modeled the character after his vampire character. Hunnam lacks the refinement. Too bad.

I understand that trying to cast this movie has been difficult since the books are called "mommy porn". It doesn't help that the overall writing is not that great. But I like the basic story and I think this movie could have risen above the material with the right screenwriter and the right actors in these roles. I just have a completely different vision of this film than what they are trying to make. I think choosing Dakota Johnson for this role is a poor choice. Very poor. I think they want this movie to be as tawdry as possible. And that sucks when others have told stories of intermittently tormentous (and at times abusive) love (I am not condoning nor endorsing that type of relationship.) better (such as in Blue Valentine). The whole point is that they both come out the other side better people in the end. I don't see Dakota having the chops to bring that to life onscreen without sounding like some whiny little girl. I can only hope that director Sam Taylor Wood and screenwriter Kelly Marcel can bring it. Also, Charlie Hunnam has been on a highly successful, critically acclaimed TV show for a number of years, is he not considered a star on some level? And if not, then what about Julianna Marguiles whose career has mainly been in TV and theatre? What's with the snobbishness?

Only Twilight and its actors are worse than this crap. Ryan and Garrett made the right decision. Isn't it humiliating for Hunnam replacing an atrocious actor as is Pattinson? Charlie is a so so actor but not THAT bad…

You know good and damned well they didn't get anywhere near any A-listers for this heaping pile of sh*t. Ryan Gosling, my ass.

Oh please, Shailene was NOT interested. What press commitments does an actor have 6 months before their movie comes out? She's always shot down rumors whenever asked about this BS in interviews. Press commitments my ass.

Actually, elsewhere Felicity Jones has been mentioned to pass the project due to not wanting to do full frontal nudity. The other actresses also mentioned being in consideration might also have passed the project due to content and not simply schedule.
