While we told you a couple of weeks back that the pair looked set for the role, it has now been officially confirmed that NEED FOR SPEED’s Dakota Johnson and SONS OF ANARCHY’s Charlie Hunnam will be starring in the upcoming adaptation of 50 SHADES OF GREY.
Johnson will be playing Anastasia Steele, a young college student who meets young millionaire Christian Grey (Hunnam) and over the course of the series gets into dominant/submissive relationship, and she opens up to his so called “kinky” ways.
The casting is gonna raise some eyebrows indeed, following the campaigns for fan favourites like Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer for the coveted Grey role, but either way it still looks like an interesting project. The film is set to be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, while Kelly Marcel wrote the script. It is set to be released in August next year.
