First Look: ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ Starring Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey

When Jamie Dornan was cast as our beloved Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey we squawked and moaned. But we have faith, err I have faith in E.L. James and director Sam Taylor-Johnson in their ability to cast the perfect version of our Fifty.

The book based on the Twilight-fanfiction-turned-erotic-best seller now coming to the big screen has a lot of big hopes dreams and fantasies to live up to. Fifty Shades of Grey is the twisted love story of young hunky elusive billionaire Christian Grey and virginal naive college student Anastasia Steele ( Dakota Johnson ).

The first image of our 'Fifty' is released and I can't help but see a very Edward Cullenesque image of Jamie.

I could have sworn I have seen a similar image of Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen or watched a clip in one of the movies of almost the same smoldering look.

And before you balk at me for making this comparison, keep in mind it was Edward and Bella in the fanfic version.

I think Jamie nailed the look and will be an amazing Fifty. We all need to get used to the book version and not get stuck in the fanfic version. What do you think? We want to hear from you.

Hottie of the Week.. The Suits Edition

I’ve been pouring through images in my head trying to decide who I wanted to put as Hottie this week since I wasn’t able to post last week. Of course, there are always previous Hottie’s to use or there are collages of Hotties. I couldn’t decide. So after thinking long and hard about it, I have decided to go with the first thing to pop in my head...suits. Who can resist a good looking man in a suit? Definitely not this girl. So here is my montage to Suits!

Male Hottie of the Week!!

My first pick, which will shock people that know me, has to go to Jamie Dornan.

Let the countdown begin! The movie version of ‘Fifty Shades’ is still more than a year away, but we have something new to drool over and whet our appetites: the movie’s first poster. Can we be anymore excited?

Jamie Dornan Will Go ‘Full Frontal’ In ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Movie

Watch out, Michael Fassbender! There’s a new sexy Irish actor baring it all in town. Jamie Dornan will go full-frontal for his role as the kinky billionaire Christian Grey, in an effort to make the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ movie as steamy as the book that inspired it.

Jamie Dornan, 31, is definitely not afraid to flaunt everything he’s got. The sexy Irish actor will go full-frontal for his starring role in Fifty Shades of Grey, which is gearing up to be the naughtiest film you've ever been forced to awkwardly discuss with your mom. Read below for more details!


Jamie Dornan Will Bare It All In ‘Fifty Shades’

Dakota Johnson Kisses Jamie Dornan for the First Time on Fifty Shades of Grey Set—See the Pic!

Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan aren't quite ready to play with whips and chains yet, but they're getting there!

The Fifty Shades of Grey costars shared their first romantic moment on the film's Vancouver set on Monday, Dec. 8, when Johnson (Anastasia Steele) gently kissed the cheek of Dornan (Christian Grey).

The tame but promising scene appears to be shot outside of Grey Enterprises, aka the business that turned Christian into a billionaire. Dornan, 31, wears his character's standard well-tailored gray suit, while Johnson, 24, keeps up Anastasia's plain but pretty demeanor in a simple red dress and belted camel trench coat.

Clearly these two can handle an innocent peck on the cheek, but how will they fare when things take a raunchier turn? Perfectly fine, of course! When Entertainment Weekly asked Dornan if he was concerned about playing such a sexual character, he replied confidently, "I certainly don't fear it."

"I already got a glimpse into working with [director] Sam[Taylor-Johnson] at the test, and I'd met Dakota by then," he explained. "So I had a glimpse into how I felt it would be if I got the part. None of it scared me."

As for Johnson? "I just really understand it," she said of the romance. "I think it's an incredible love story, and that's why it's affected so many people. Erica [author E.L. James] did a really good job of explaining how that just can happen sometimes and you have this chemical pull to someone. Adding in the sex makes it perfect. Sometimes you feel a little bit naughty, and that's okay."

Of course it is, darling! Everyone should do something now and then that turns them the color of the Communist Manifesto.

Fifty Shades of Grey filming finally gets under way

Jamie Dornan begins his turn as EL James's protagonist Christian Grey after delayed production starts in Vancouver

Shooting is finally under way on the much-hyped cinematic adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.

Sam Taylor-Johnson's film features Jamie Dornan as kinky billionaire Christian Grey, with Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, his well-remunerated sex slave.

Dornan, best known for Belfast-set BBC2 drama The Fall, replaced Charlie Hunnam in October after the Pacific Rim star reportedly got cold feet amid overwhelming attention from fans. The film's release date was subsequently pushed back from August 2014 to Valentine's Day 2015.

Universal Shifts ’50 Shades’ Release Date to February 2015

Universal has shifted the release date for “50 Shades of Grey” to Feb. 13, 2015.

‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ moved to Valentine’s Day 2015, first look at Christian and Anastasia released!

The Fifty Shades of Grey movie has been delayed until February 13, 2015, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

The book to film adaptation of E.L. James novel was previously set for a debut on August 1, 2014. The six-month delay means that the film can now be marketed as a romantic movie for couples considering a dinner and movie date on the weekend designated for love.

Fifty Shades gets another writer

Fifty Shades Of Grey has hired a writer best known for penning action movies to finish off the film script, according to reports.

The Wrap says that Mark Bomback has been asked to finalize the script for the movie adaptation of the steamy novel.

Saving Mr Banks' screenwriter Kelly Marcel and Closer's Patrick Marber originally adapted EL James' best-selling erotic novel.

Mark's previous credits include action movies such as Unstoppable, The Wolverine, Total Recall and Live Free Or Die Hard.

Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson are set to play the lead roles in the film, with Sam Taylor-Johnson directing.

The movie will l start shooting in December, a month later than expected, following the abrupt exit of lead actor Charlie Hunnam.

Luke Grimes Joins '50 Shades Of Grey' Cast As Christian's Brother

Amid the endless hunt for an actor to play Christian Grey, you may have forgotten that "50 Shades of Grey" has other characters in it, too. Thank goodness Luke Grimes is here to jog your memory.

The "True Blood" actor has been cast as Christian's brother, Elliot, in the adaptation of E L James' best-selling novel, Variety reports. Grimes is the fourth actor to join the cast. Dakota Johnson has been on board as Anastasia Steele since the first casting reports emerged, Jamie Dornan was announced earlier this week as Charlie Hunnam's replacement in the title role, and Jennifer Ehle will play Anastasia's mother.

Grimes, 29, starred in the indie thriller "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" and "Taken 2." He also had a recurring role on ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" before being cast as Deborah Ann Woll’s new love interest, James, on "True Blood."

The news of Dornan's casting broke on Wednesday night, and many have responded positively to the choice. Now the movie just has a few more supporting characters to cast, including Anastasia's roommate and Christian's bodyguard. The movie is set to go into production in early November following the casting shakeup and script polishing by Patrick Marber ("Closer," "Notes on a Scandal").

For more on Grimes' casting, hop over to Variety.

E.L. James Confirms Jamie Dornan For 'Fifty Shades Of Grey,' Fans Say Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!'

'Stow your twitchy palms ladies ... Our man is here,' says James.

She's said it before, but this time E.L. James means it: Christian Grey is locked down. The "Fifty Shades of Grey" author confirmed the news on Thursday, tweeting her excitement about the casting of Jamie Dornan
 in the big screen adaptation of her wildly popular erotic novel.

"Stow your twitchy palms ladies ... Our man is here," she said."Welcome to #TeamFifty @JamieDornan1 x."

Stow your twitchy palms ladies... our man is here. Welcome to #TeamFifty @JamieDornan1 x
— E L James (@E_L_James) October 24, 2013

The response was immediate, and twitch-free. "Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Good choice my lady !!! You did good :)" raved one fan. Another said,"Yea! You made me pull over on the highway!"

@E_L_James @JamieDornan1 squeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Good choice my lady !!! You did good :)
— M (@Love_bug1016) October 24, 2013

Others deemed Dornan either a "great choice" or "perfect" for the role, while Susan McCaskill got into character for her tweet. "I just got the shivers!!!," she wrote. "I need a safe word to deal with this!! Yay!!"

The 31-year-old "Once Upon a Time" actor steps into the shoes of Charlie Hunnam,
 the "Sons of Anarchy" star who dropped out of the lead in the film less than a month after accepting the highly sought-after role.

In addition to James' endorsement, Dornan seemingly got the thumbs-up from one of the most important people involved in "Grey": his co-star, Dakota Johnson, 24. The actress who will portray Anastasia Steele got high praise from one of the film's producers, Michael De Luca, who told E! News earlier this week that she is, "The best partner a producer could have."

Before Dornan's casting was announced, De Luca said Johnson's "chemistry test" with her potential on-screen co-star was crucial to the process. "She's helping us look through the candidates to see which chemistry kind of captures our attention," he said. Despite what Dornan told MTV News back in October 2011 about how he gets "nervous" around the ladies,
 clearly she and Dornan ended up finding the right mix.

Fifty Shades of Grey: Jamie Dornan takes the lead

The actor, best known for his role in BBC drama The Fall, is to take over the lead from Charlie Hunnam, who pulled out of the EL James adaptation a fortnight ago

Actor Jamie Dornan is to play kinky billionaire Christian in the upcoming big screen take on salacious literary sensation Fifty Shades of Grey,according to Variety.

Dornan replaces Charlie Hunnam, who left the role earlier this month amid rumors that the Sons of Anarchy and Pacific Rim star had been spooked by overwhelming fan attention, or may have required more input into the script than producers were willing to grant. Studio Universal and director Sam Taylor-Johnson have been searching for a replacement ever since, with the project due for release in nine months time and shooting to start imminently.

Dornan stars as Sheriff Graham Humbert in the ABC series Once Upon a Time and also plays a serial killer in Belfast-set BBC2 crime drama The Fall. His film roles include a Swedish count in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. Aged 31, Dornan has also modeled for Calvin Klein, Christian Dior and Armani.

Producers made the decision to cast the County Down-born actor after screen testing him with Dakota Johnson, who remains in the lead female role of Grey's virginal paramour, Anastasia Steele. Fifty Shades centres on Grey's recruitment of Anastasia to be his well-remunerated sex slave. It is expected to be the first of a trilogy based on British author EL James' three bestselling novels.

Taylor-Johnson was revealed as the director of the film version in June. The artist turned film-maker, whose only feature film to date is the acclaimed 2009 John Lennon biopic Nowhere Boy, reportedly beat out luminaries of the calibre of Joe Wright, Bennett Miller and Gus van Sant.

Fifty Shades of Grey is due to hit cinemas in August 2014. Producers now hope to wrap up the cast by finding an actor to play Anastasia's flat-mate, Kate. Jennifer Ehle has been cast as the young student's hapless mother, Carla.

The casting of Dornan has not yet been officially confirmed by Universal or James, who has made previous announcements about the film on Twitter.
