Her books may have been inspired by the Twilight Saga, but E.L. James wants nothing to do with Twilight couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart after the scandal in the news.
They may have been every fan’s favorite on screen couple, but since Kristen Stewart cheated on her sparkling vampire boyfriend Robert Pattinson, all the negative press has rubbed E.L. James up the wrong way.
Many fans wanted to see Pattinson and Stewart take up the steamy roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in the movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey, but author E.L. James says she doesn’t want them to star in the movie adaptation of her books.
“It would just be… ugh, weird!” says 48-year-old E.L. James when asked about casting the pair in the movie. Having Robert Pattinson, aged 26, and 22-year-old Kristen Stewart would be a disaster, according to James, especially with all the negative press being focused on the once beloved Twilight couple.
It does seem like E.L. James has her own ideas about who to cast as the enigmatic Christian Grey and the shy and submissive Anastasia Steele.
“I have four people in mind,” says E.L. James, “But I can’t discuss the film which is a real shame.”
Recently, her husband Niall Leonard let is slip that E.L. James is considering Ryan Gosling for the role of Christian Grey, whereas others believe she got her inspiration from a fragrance ad Henry Cavill made while she was writing the books.
At the moment, we can only speculate as to who’ll be E.L. James’s pick for the casting. At the moment other heavy contenders include Ian Somerhalder from the Vampire Diaries, Alexander Skarsgard from HBO’s True Blood and Matt Bomer, whose sexuality has made him a controversial role but also a fan favorite.
It seems that E.L. James is going to remain tight-lipped about the casting, and while fans are going crazy with their personal picks, the UK based author said it was “too early” to think about casting on her Twitter stream a few weeks back. So who do you think E.L. James’s choices are for Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele?
