Christian Grey News

BOSTON, Dec. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ For some 50 Shades diehards, there will only ever be one Christian Grey, and he doesn't look a damn thing like Jamie Dornan. But if you have room in your heart for another sexy billionaire Dom, Meredith Wild's Hacker Series might fill the void.

According to Deadline, Callum Keith Rennie (Battlestar Galactica) is the latest actor to sign on for Universal and Focus Features' FIFTY SHADES OF GREY film adaptation. FIFTY SHADES will star Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey alongside Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, with Rennie cast as Steele's stepfather 'Ray Steele'.

According to E! Online, the actor will take on the role of 'Bob, Anastasia Steele's (Dakota Johnson) stepfather and husband to her mother Carla (Jennifer Ehle).'

According to Deadline, Harden has signed on to 'play Dr. Grace Trevelyan Grey, the adoptive physician mama of emotionally damaged billionaire Christian Grey and his siblings Mia and Elliot. Dr. Grace Grey is the pediatrician who cares for 4-year-old Christian when his birth mother (or 'the crack whore,' as Fifty Shades readers know her) dies. She's also the one who inadvertently introduces Christian to his cougar lover Elena from whom he learns his BDSM ways.'

According to Deadline, Ora has signed on to make her feature film debut as Mia, Christian Grey's adopted sister.

Producer Dana Brunetti tweeted a picture today (to the left) along with the caption: 'Here we go.'

The search is over! Since the news broke that SONS OF ANARCHY's Charlie Hunnam had exited the FIFTY SHADES OF GREY franchise, Universal and Focus have been hard at work to line up a new 'Christian Grey'. Variety reports that ONCE UPON A TIME's sexy sherriff Jamie Dornan, also known for his role on THE FALL, will now star opposite Dakota Johnson as 'Anastasia Steele' in the film adaptation of EL James' bestselling, steamy book series.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the former VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE star screen tested on Friday opposite Dakota Johnson and director Sam Taylor-Johnson. Sources suggest that the role of 'Christian Grey' will likely go to Magnussen or THE FALL's Jamie Dornan, after SONS OF ANARCHY's Charlie Hunnam exited the film earlier this month.

According to E! Online, the Tony nominee and former VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE star is currently being considered to take on the lead role of 'Christian Grey' in the upcoming film adaptation of E.L. James' FIFTY SHADES OF GREY.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, execs are revisting former favorites for the role, including TRUE BLOOD's Alexander Skarsgard and THE FALL's Jamie Dornan. Others being considered are Theo James and Christian Cooke. Garrett Hedlund, a one-time front-runner for the role, is now out of play, having signed on for Angelina Jolie's UNBROKEN.

Universal Pictures has just confirmed to Variety that Charlie Hunnam who was to star in the upcoming film version of FIFTY SHADES OF GREY has dropped OUT of the picture, citing the old reliable reason of 'scheduling conflicts' with his FX Series, SONS OF ANARCHY. Hunnam was recently seen on the big screen in the sci-film Pacific Rim.
