Emma Watson Talks 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Casting Rumor
Dana Brunetti and Michael De Luca, who also worked on 2010s "The Social Network," have signed on to produce the movie
Have you heard the rumor about Emma Watson starring in the movie version of the years most talked-about book, Fifty Shades of Grey? Turns out, the former "Harry Potter" star isnt lined up to play Anastasia Steele after all. "I havent read the book, I havent a read a script, nothing," Watson, 22, told Entertainment Weekly. "There are so many movies you become attached to when Ive literally never even received a phone call. It was the same way with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo — I never even saw a script!" Watson adds that fans cant always easily tell which rumored roles shes actually taking on. "The thing is Im not going to go out there every time someone attaches me to a film to say no or release a statement," she said.
Watsons supposed co-star in the steamy story, about a college graduate seduced by a 20-something millionaire, is rumored to be everyone from Ian Somerhalder of "The Vampire Diaries," to Alexander Skarsgard of "True Blood," to Ryan Gosling. While those hotties probably arent involved in the project either, a girl can dream, right? Two people who really are attached to the Fifty Shades of Grey adaptation (really, we swear!) are Dana Brunetti and Michael De Luca, who have signed on to produce the movie. The two of them also worked on 2010s "The Social Network," based on the story of Facebook.
While fans are undoubtedly disappointed Watson wont be taking on the sexy role in "Grey" — at least not yet — one person is probably relieved: her boyfriend, felllow Brown University student Will Adamowicz! However, Watson has plenty of other roles coming up. Her romantic drama "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" comes out September 20, and Seth Rogen comedy "The End of the World" and director Sofia Coppolas drama "The Bling Ring" are out next year.
