Johanna

I think Colin Egglesfield would be perfect as Christian Grey and Amber Heard for the role of Anastasia Steele
KAT ELI

People remember many times in the book Christian Grey mentions Anastasia having an ass so before voting consider that. Matt Bomer and Emily Browning are perfect.
She HAS AN ASS and he has the best body and face for this role.
03mem

IAN SOMHALDER and AMANDA SEYFRIED PLEASE!
- Natalie
  
  I could actually see that working. Emilia Clarke is my favorite, but I would take Amanda!
Ashley Brooks

Felicity Jones or Amanda Seyfried. I picture Amanda’s voice and demeanor when I’m reading, but I literally before I ever saw, Felicity Jones, pictured that exact face.
Ashley Brooks

Oops I just saw more pics of Felicity, no way, that must’ve been a decent pic above, I retract my previous statement and choose Emilia Clarke or Amanda seyfried ..
sara

EMMA WATSONN AS ANA …OBVIOUSLY!!!
even producers are preferring her!
- leesa

ana john

emmaa watson and ryan gosling!
ajit

alexis bledel and matt bomer will make the best fifty shades movie…..otherwise im not going to watch the movie……they both make the perfect couple.. she has thee beautiful eyes, her face suits the ana character and matt has that gracious face tht will make the perfect gray,,,,,,

  I totally agree with you. If they are not in the cast i’m not going to watch the movie. They would be the perfect couple for 50 shades.
Denise

Ian somerhalder and Sara Paxton!
Lulu

matt bomer and Aexis Bladel are the perfect fit for the movie and eachother!
pickadeli

Alexis Bledel as Anastasia Steele
kiki

Megan Fox and Colin Egglesfield
Lucy Hale and Henry Cavill
Alexis Bledel and ian Sommerhaulder

Alexis fits Ana’s looks the most but i really can’t picture her in a steamy sex scene, maybe because the only thing i’ve seen her in is Gilmore Girls !!!! By the way Matt Bomer is Gay and maybe he won’t be able to transmit Christian’s character that well
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=519538069 Marie Fernandez Tuazon

Natalie Portman it is!!!
cheyenne

i would like to see Ashley Greene as Anastasia Steele i feel she would fit the part quite well. if not her i think that Jennifer Lawrence would also make a good Anastasia Steele she was very good in hunger games when she needed to act shy or quiet and then turn around and voice her opinion and take control.
Je Anny

Alexis Bledel Matt Bomer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Claudia

Alexis Bledel and Matt Bomer…she fits the character to the T!! And he definitely has the domeneering look!!
Anna Maria Cárcamo

Anna Maria Cárcamo

annie

Ian Somerhalder and Amber Heard (she is brunette now!)
IAN MEGAN FOR THE WIN

IAN AND MEGAN CAN MAKE IT WORK.
http://www.facebook.com/susanna.sakri Susanna Angela Sakri

how can anyone not see both actors (Matt B & Alexis B) fit the physical description of the main leads to a T!!!!!!! … specially the BLUE innocent yet smart eyes and the GREY piercing, full of intent CEO eyes!! Hmmm….. NO DOUBT abt it!!! 100% Alexis B & Matt B alll the wayyyyy!!!!!!
- Jorie21
  
  I personally don’t find Alexis to be very attractive and yes she has big blue eyes but blue eyes can be achieved with contacts and a lot of prettier actresses have big eyes. I just felt that Ana was an understated beauty like a classic beauty and Alexis is cute but not beautiful IMO, same with Emmy Rossum.
María

Ian Somerhalder y Emilia Clarke!! Hacen una pareja increíble!! Ójala que sean ellos los protagonistas!! Me encantan!!
- Natalie
  
  Yes!!!!!

SIRENA

Matt Bomer or Ian SOMERHALDER and EMMY ROSSUM
Pitita

EMMY ROSSUM as ANASTASIA STEELE
Isabella

felicity jones as anastacia. she has everything. she has the perfect big blue eyes, full lips, the hair, and somehow looks very fragile and innocent, and also very lady-like. and well, i’d like ian somerhalder as christian grey. i really don’t get why everyone wants fucking ryan gosling as christian, i don’t know if people remember that christian has to be at least GOODLOOKING if not attractive. and ryan gosling has a chin that goes all the way to china people ian is perfect, he is goodlooking, sexy, and VERY dominant-looking. open up your damn eyes! it makes me mad that people can’t see something so obvious. they would make the perfect christian and anastacia.
Isabella

okay, maybe matt bomer wouldn’t be a bad christian grey. i’d have to say that i don’t really picture ian as christian, because in some part of the books he has to look like a child, innocent. and ian is like the walking sex machine… but i still say felicity jones. she’s ana.
Isabella

and alexis bledel is fucking ugly people. for my sake.
Mya

Emily Browning should play Ana Steele.
Ana

AMBER HEARD and Alexander Skarsgard!

EMILIA CLARKE as Ana and HENRY CAVILL as Christian.. ALL THE WAY!!!.. EMILIA got the innocent look and yet can be so alluring and powerful even without opening her mouth and she’s a brunette! And HENRY got the body, the angst and he is just so perfect!

Katherina Busel

Alexis Bledel obviously!
Katherina Busel

Alexis Bledel and Matt Bomer are perfect
Jorie21

Matt Bomer and Emily Browning =D
Yes to Emilia

Emilia Clarke is perfection. She’s girl next door/ with and extra dose of sexy. This isn’t a popularity contest. She obviously has the looks and talent for it. I mean haven’t you guys seen her in Game of Thrones. Even if I hate this stupid book and its trends, id watch it for Emilia.
Brita Andrea

Unless they want to make christian grey look like a necrofilia, they shouldn’t give Kristen Sewart the role as Anastaisia Steele! She is so lifeless in her roles I wanna slap her silly!
My votes goes to Matt Bomer and Alexis Bledel!
Would not be too dissapointed if they choose Aleksander Skarsgård and Emma Watson thoug
Tee Go

Matt Bomer and Alexis Bladel….PLEAAAAAAAAAAASE!! no one else fits more perfectly!
lore

Emilia Clarke as Anastasia Steele or Alexis Bledel
Ana

Ian and Mila Kunis
lupita

Matt Bomer and Emilia Clarke of course!
Nadine

Ian Somerhalder as Mr Grey. Not sure about Ana yet. I was thinking about Mila Kunis…
Natalie

Henry Cavill and Emilia Clarke as Christian Grey and Ana Steele!!!! Ian Somerhalder would do well as Christian too!!! I just want Emilia Clarke to be Ana!!! She has the pale skin, dark hair, blue big eyes, full lips…she is everything! Plus she is the right age. I love Alexis Bledel, but I just think she may be too old for the part. Emilia Clarke will do it right!
petronell

Blake Lively, Jessica Lucas, Nina Dobrev or Kristen Steward… Any one of them, I loved the book but if Alexis Bledel plays ana i wont watch
gem_congeniality

I vote for Alexis Bledel.. pleaaase
