Fifty Shades of Grey movie?!

Is this for real? If so.. SWEET!! If Matt Bomer doesn't play Christian Grey I will be pissed!!! Cuz he is absolutely perfect for the role :) I would love to see Alexis Bledel play as Ana.  Just sayin'... anyone else have thoughts on this?

I've read the book.  I've read all three, if I am to be honest.  I don't get the popularity given the really poor writing and not quite sure how they could translate the books into a move.

I hated the writing of the book. The last one the plot wasn't too horrible but it took me awhile to get past the bad grammar and the fact that she doesn't describe the looks of her character all that well. I really couldn't picture the characters as I was reading it (which really annoyed me) but once someone mentioned Matt Bomer as Christian Grey I instantly saw the perfection in that!

I wasn't a fan of the actual writing but the plot was enough to keep me hooked :)  The only real description I can remember from reading it was that Christian had 'piercing' blue eyes.  Taking his character's personality, the first person that came to my mind was Alexander Skasgard from True Blood.  Maybe it's his personality in the show but he comes across as very dominating and sexual.

I've only read the first one at a friend's request and I honestly can't see that translating into film unless it's a porno.

Pretty sure they would have to cut A LOT of love scenes out... and focus on the plot more. The first book would definitely be hard to not make it a porno. I think the last 2 would be easier to make a movie though. Idk I haven't read them in awhile... guess I will have to re-read them :)

How can this be a movie? There is zero plot.

matt bomer is okay but my pick for christian is henrycavill.org. ana should be an unknown.

There's much more plot in the second and third books, and less sex. The second book is my favorite.

I couldn't even finish the first book.  I think I read about 50% of it.  I don't understand the popularity of this book.  And the movie will have to be porn, thats all the book is about.

I agree. I like the second book the best too. The plot takes form in the second book.

you don't read this kind of book for the plot... just saying... 

IMO... Ian Somerhaulder should be Christian...

And here my friends all say I am weird. I could not even make it through the first book. Not only is the writing sub par, but the premise of the whole story is off for me.   Christian Grey the 27 year old self made billionaire who is fluent in multiple languages, but seems never to actually work ... What is even stranger than me not liking these books is I actually read a lot of urban fantasy, romance, sci-fi books, but Shades just fell way flat for me.

If that makes you weird, then I'm right there with you.  I didn't even make it to the halfway point before I stopped reading it.  If I had a physical book in my hand, I might've thrown it against the wall in disgust at the writing, but since I was reading it on my kindle I promptly deleted the crap and may have stewed a little bit over spending money to get the series.  I love a good romance novel, the trashier the better, but this was unbearable.
