'50 Shades of Grey' Movie Cast News: E.L. James Posts Fan-Made Poster Featuring Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele / 60,000 Supporters Want Matt Bomer, Alexis Bledel [TRAILER]
Not everyone is upset with Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson being cast for the upcoming 50 Shades of Grey movie adaptation. In fact some love the two enough to create a fan-made poster of Hunnam and Johnson posing quite provocatively as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.
Doing one better, 50 Shades pen-woman E.L. James surprised many by posting the poster via Twitter on Monday.
James' casting announcement September 2 was definitely met with a lot of backlash. After months of rumors surrounding A-List celebs like Ryan Gosling and Emma Watson, fans were a little disappointed to here the roles go to a Sons of Anarchy star and famous person's daughter.
In fact, 60,000 supporters signed a petition on Change.org a couple days after the announcement, urging James to give the role to Matt Bomer and Alexis Bledel. It's good to know that social injustice, political chaos and economic hardship doesn't get people motivated, but 50 Shades of Grey casting news does!
In response to the casting frenzy, James tweeted:
"To all the supporters, lovers and haters - thank you so much for the passion that you have for this project. You all rock. All of you.
As if the poster wasn't enough, rabid 50 Shades of Grey fans have been making fake trailer mashups of Hunnam and Johnson.
YouTube user FiftyShadesQueen posted this trailer of what she hopes the new movie adaptation will look like.
