Last week we polled readers asking who they would like to play the lead Christian Grey, in E. L. James’, Fifty Shades of Grey movie adaptation. Henry Cavill proved to be a front-runner in our Comments section, but it was Ian Somerhalder who won hands down on our Facebook Poll (Colin Egglesfield also deserves an honorable mention). This week we want to know which of Hollywood’s young leading ladies do you see in the role of Anastasia Steele?
Sharlto Copley in ‘Maleficient’, Spike Lee’s ‘Oldboy’ & ‘Open Grave’
CHECK IT OUT
Seems like a banner week for Sharlto Copley. Breaking out on the Hollywood scene in Neill Blomkamp’ District 9, as a government agent exposed to the biotechnology of an alien race forced into slum villages. The actor is in talks for Maleficent, starring Angelina Jolie; playing a villain in Spike Lee’s Oldboy and getting dirty for Open Grave.
‘Peace, Love & Understanding’ Starring Jane Fonda, Catherine Keener & Elizabeth Olsen (Trailer)
CHECK IT OUT
Can you do wrong by casting Jane Fonda, Catherine Keener and Elizabeth Olsen? The answer should be a resounding “No”, but this trailer has me skeptical. Directed by Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy), Peace, Love & Misunderstanding plays those expected notes from an indie film and looks like comfort watching. Then again, I could be completely wrong and will be pleasantly surprised. Check it out after the jump.
