'Arrow' Stephen Amell confirms '50 Shades of Grey' talks

28997_437546976323469_1442877581_n

Stephen Amell has confirmed that he has been in talks about appearing in the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey movie.
The Arrow star explained that he has had a meeting about taking on the lead role of Christian Grey in the film, which will be based on the erotic novel by EL James.
Speaking in a video posted on his Facebook page, Amell said: "I get questions about Christian Grey all the time. That project is a long way off. I know this, because I had a meeting about it."
Amell then went on to tease his fans, saying: "A long way off. I mean, not that long, but not close. I wouldn't call it long, but I wouldn't call it close."
Speculation about who could play Christian Grey has been circulating ever since a movie adaptation was announced, with stars such as Henry Cavill, Ian Somerhalder and Jake Gyllenhaal among the rumoured candidates.
don't do this man, don't do it

I'll only watch this movie if they make Ana a guy and turn it into a gay porn flick.

Ughhhh, STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

But, at least if it's him it's not my Bomer.

This seems about right.
ben_superdetka 22nd-Mar-2013 03:03 pm (UTC)
lol i feel that this movie has been ~talked about~ forever. it's getting annoying. just cast SOMEONE for crying out loud
rabbitncavylove 23rd-Mar-2013 03:15 am (UTC)
I know .. but they said they aren't near casting or even filming yet .. people are going to forget about it, as they should
ruby_winchester 22nd-Mar-2013 03:06 pm (UTC)
No. Don't do it Stephen.
stoicana 22nd-Mar-2013 03:06 pm (UTC)
FFS, NOOOOOOOOOOO.

This is such B-flick material. It's that movie that you'd mistakenly pick up at Blockbuster because the cover imagery looks so similar to the actual movie you were looking for and you just grab it because you're too lazy to look any harder.

Then you get home and SURPRISE and you make a night of it anyway because it's been a long week and you need to heckle and snark at something.

BUT NO ONE ACTUALLY LIKES OR RESPECTS THAT SHIT.

"This is such B-flick material."

So was Twilight. :S And like Twilight, it has a massive fandom. This shit is going to do much better than it deserves to. And will likely be a major hit, leading to the rest of the books being made into movies. Just like with Twilight.

And dude will probably be a star over night, just like Rpattz. Which is no doubt why he's in talks for this role.

daniellasaur_xo 22nd-Mar-2013 03:44 pm (UTC)
Agreed. But I'd watch with the dialogue muted.
lapetite 22nd-Mar-2013 03:53 pm (UTC)
This.
threeatatimejay 22nd-Mar-2013 04:08 pm (UTC)
I would MST the shit out of it.
notoriousreign 22nd-Mar-2013 04:19 pm (UTC)
Same.
kajsa87 22nd-Mar-2013 03:12 pm (UTC)
The impression I've got is that those crazy women who love these books will only be satisfied with Ian Somerhalder or Matt Bomer, so I hopehopehope they'll cast somebody else because the whining will be glorious.
midnight_lite 22nd-Mar-2013 03:38 pm (UTC)
lol ikr like if they got someone like Mads Mikkelsen or whatever
thelovehater 22nd-Mar-2013 03:52 pm (UTC)
As much as I'd be down for seeing Mads in an erotic film, I pray to every deity that exists that he stay far, far, far away from 50 Shades.
xdecadentx 22nd-Mar-2013 03:40 pm (UTC)
Yeah I think they'd have to get Christian Grey just right otherwise interest in these films would completely go.
threeatatimejay 22nd-Mar-2013 04:10 pm (UTC)
LBR, these thirsty chicks will be happy no matter WHO is cast.
blessedbell 22nd-Mar-2013 03:13 pm (UTC)
i still don't understand how this will be a nation-wide release.

also: big fuck you to EL James for blocking domestic abuse victims on twitter. classy asshole author of a POS.
saintvlas22 22nd-Mar-2013 03:28 pm (UTC)
WHAT happened now???
blessedbell 22nd-Mar-2013 03:53 pm (UTC)
Basically, many DV survivors tweeted their concerns about her writing/plot/story to her (stating, quite truthfully, that the dynamic between Ana and Christian to be that of an unhealthy one, and the hype surrounding the books insinuates that the relationship is a normal one) and instead of

1) Addressing these concerns respectfully
2) Addressing her audience as a whole about that interpretation
3) Perhaps use this interpretation to bring public attention to the slippery slope that relationship violence can slide into
4) Emphasize that her books are fantasy, not a barometer for IRL relationships...



she just blocks them. I saw some of the tweets that were sent her way from the one survivor, it was very respectful. At that point James' actions were malicious.
blessedbell 22nd-Mar-2013 03:55 pm (UTC)
It makes me angry because she could have done so much good with this. She could have stood up and said, "Yes, some may see the dynamic as an unhealthy one. This is fantasy, and if any of these occur, please seek help, etc etc." or donate to a DV organization, or something.

But she didn't. She's so up her ass about her (very shitty, have you read the first? I'm no writing saint, but its bad.) writing that she will act like the world's biggest asshole for it.

I didn't hate her when she published these books. Shit, if I could become a millionaire off shitty writing, I'd do it. But this cinched the deal, and she can go fuck herself.
tracygee 22nd-Mar-2013 03:36 pm (UTC)
Seriously, she's beyond sensitive and instead of replying to their concerns she just blocks them.

What an ego this woman has.
thelovehater 22nd-Mar-2013 03:53 pm (UTC)
Wow. That is really low.
tori100186 22nd-Mar-2013 04:55 pm (UTC)
That's terrible.

I hate how unhealthy the relationship is and how many people wet their panties over it. Especially considering all the underage girls who read thinking that Christian's behavior is OK. My youngest sister is 14 with friends who have read and love the book. I got really lucky she doesn't like it and she's told them how terrible it is. I really wish young girls could learn about sexuality in a positive light where it's something that doesn't have to demean them or make them an object.
