After a huge bidding war, it was announced last week that E L James' 'Fifty Shades of Grey' had finally been sold to Universal Pictures and Focus Features. Already the Internet is buzzing with speculation over who will play the controlling 27-year-old billionaire Christian Grey in the film adaptation of the erotic best-selling novel and its sequels.
Robert Pattinson, who plays controlling billionaire David Cronenberg is 'Cosmopolis,' has been reported as a leading contender to play Grey in the trilogy. People magazine has also named Ryan Gosling, Chris Pine, Kellan Lutz and Henry Cavill, as some of the few Hollywood heartthrobs who could possibly take on the role.
Some have even speculated that if Pattinson was cast, girlfriend and 'Twilight' co-star Kristen Stewart could take the part of the novel's female protagonist, Anastasia Steele.
What do you think, are filmgoers ready to see Pattinson and Stewart together on screen again in non-'Twilight' roles?

Fifty was really written with Rob and Kristen in mind so they are the obvious choices to do it. Please give it to Rob - you should be BEGGING him to do it.

I would LOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEEE to see Rob do this........but not now - it's too soon and Cosmo is too much like the Fifty character. He needs to do some other types of movies - that AREN'T sexy first - cop, detective, bio or something low key. Then in about 2 years when he's 28..........DO FIFTY!!! Oh Rob - please do it.

If you have read the Twilight series and the 50 Shades trilogy...well, it should be obvious that 50 Shades is "dirty Twilight"...and didn't we all want a dirtier version! I would love to see the edgier side of Pattinson and Stewart.

I think Ian Somerhalder would be a better fit for Christian!

Double Hell yes....Rob and Kristen chemistry already there but 180 degrees from Edward/Bella. Bring it on!

Oh Lord, please do not put Robert and Kristin together. First, Kristin is definitely NOT right for Anastasia. Second, it will be related to the Twilight movies too much. I am rooting for HENRY CAVILL - he is perfect if he can do the American accent. Maybe Amanda Seyfried as Anastasia.

I would go watch it. They have the chemistry to pull off this role. At first, I was not sure but I watch few fan-made video on how those two can pull it off. I know it will be amazing!
