She may not be the biggest name actress vying for the role, but it seems 20-year-old Shailene Woodley has caught E.L. James’s eye for the role of Anastasia Steele in the movie Fifty Shades of Grey.
The actress is best known for her role in The Descendents, where she received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance along side George Clooney. Her acting skills haven’t gone unnoticed, and E.L. James has taken an interest in her casting for the movie Fifty Shades as the role of innocent virginal college girl who is seduced by the handsome and rich Christian Grey who has a dark secret he get’s to share with Ana.
At the moment Universal Pictures and Focus Features, the studios who have acquired the rights to the movie Fifty Shades of Grey, are busy looking for a director and screenwriter before they turn to casting considerations. At the moment the only people we know who are in on the project for the movie Fifty Shades are The Social Network duo Dana Brunetti and Mike De Lucca who’ll be producing the movie Fifty Shades.
E.L. James will play an active part in the making of the movie Fifty Shades of Grey, but will not pen the script herself, however she’ll take part in making key decisions with respect to casting.
Among the actresses whose names have been connected to Fifty Shades of Grey the Movie have included Emma Watson (who dismissed the rumors), Alexis Bledel, Lucy Hale and Ashley Benson. However, with E.L. James as a backer, it definitely gives Woodley the advantage for a role in the movie Fifty Shades.
At the moment, Shailene Woodly is filming a high school comedy film called The Spectacular Now, based on the young adult novel by Tim Tharp and is a far cry from the movie Fifty Shades. In addition, she is contracted to play in White Bird, which will be directed by Gregg Araki.
Right now, the project of the Movie Fifty Shades is the one that actors and actresses are fighting for, but this newcomer out of the blue might just make it as Anastasia Steele thanks to being spotted by E.L. James.
