Maybe I am the only one who at the mention of Alex Pettyfer gags and thinks WTF are people thinking. Ya, I went there. Pettyfer can’t act his way out of a paper bag.

However, I am going to say this. He’s beautiful. And so when you think of him doing a sex scene, even I admit I go holy crud, that perfect body is going to be naked. Hey, I am human.

So when it came to light that Gus VanSant is angling for ‘Fifty Shades’ and shot a sex scene with Alex, a million thoughts crossed my mind.

First… please God, no Alex as Christian Grey.

Two… Is this available for the world to judge? Cause you know, I can get some Fifty Shades fan and we can see if Gus is truly up for the role. Ya, we’d totally be focusing on Gus’ directing style.

Three… I hope the lucky biotch who got some of Pettyfer made sure she was safe.

According to Indie Wire…

While the studio has no formal offer out to anyone, Gus Van Sant was/is apparently on one of their wishlists to direct, and in a bid to prove he’s the man to make ‘Grey’ happen, he went ahead and shot a test sex scene featuring Alex Pettyfer in the role of Christian Grey, the businessman who kinks it up with Anastasia Steele, a much younger woman. In fact, he takes her virginity and that’s the scene Van Sant shot (no word on the actress who got Pettyfer-ed). Now, here comes a whole bunch of caveats.

The online hacking group Anonymous started a frenzy after announcing that Emma Watson would be taking the female lead in Fifty Shades of Grey. The group claimed to have gotten its hands on internal studio documents from the German film studio Constantin Film. One of the documents supposedly linked Emma to the part of Anastasia.

If you were excited about the prospect of Hermione Granger in the role, prepare for disappointment. If you were wary, rest assured! Emma took to the Twitter-verse to squash any of these rumors linking her to the Fifty Shades franchise.

Looks like we’ll just have to wait for more casting news. In the meantime, who do YOU think should play Anastasia Steele?

If anyone had any doubt that Ian could pull off Christian Grey’s multi-million dollar mogul looks . . . they need to check these pictures out!

Not much news has circulated in regards to Fifty Shades of Grey since they announced Kelly Marcel (Terra Nova) would be writing the screenplay. Well, rest assured that things are still very much happening behind the scenes, and the movie could be released as soon as summer 2014. The Hollywood Reporter sat down with Universal Studios chairman Adam Fogelson, and he gave a quick update about the much-anticipated project by author EL James.

I certainly understand why some people might take that point of view. But I don’t believe that [author EL James] had any interest in going to a studio where rushing it into production was the vision. I don’t believe that the second or third film would have benefited from that strategy. And I think that there are totally legitimate questions about what this book is as a movie. I will tell you that it is an absolute priority for us. It’s conceivable that we could be ready to release it as early as next summer.

It’s good to hear that Universal is taking a more serious approach and not trying to crank out all three movies as soon as humanly possible. That’s what the naysayers probably wanted to happen, but for the fans, this is good news. Hopefully we’ll continue to hear more news in the coming months, including any casting decisions! Stay tuned.

So, Fifty Shades, made me Fifty Shades of Red. And yes, I am a little prudish. Stop judging. But will I see the movie? Probably. And I have no shame when it comes to saying I am intrigued. So what rating will the movie have? Well most likely NC-17 according to the screenwriter.

“There is going to be a lot of sex in the film,” she said to the Sunday Times. “It will be rated NC-17.”

Well be still my beating heart. Now I am really all for Ian Somerholder to hop up on this role. Naked Somerholder, I can deal with.

“[There] is going to be a lot of sex in the film,” she says breezily. “It will be rated NC-17 [18 here]. It’s going to be raunchy.” While they are not toning it down — “We are 100% going there” — some of the sex scenes have had to be edited out in order to get some plot in. “We did go through and decide which are our favourites and which are not,” she concedes. “Most of them are in there, but I can’t say more than that.”

Are you excited for Fifty Shades? Who do you want in the roles?
