Fifty Shades Of Grey: Charlie Hunnam In The Running For Christian Grey?

Another name has been tossed into the “Fifty Shades Of Grey” movie casting rumor ring.

According to Twitch, Charlie Hunnam is at the top of the film’s producers’ list to play billionaire Christian Grey.

The 33-year-old actor, who stars on “Sons of Anarchy” and was seen in this summer’s “Pacific Rim,” joins a long list of actors rumored to be up for the steamy role, including “Vampire Diaries’” Ian Sommerhalder and Alex Pettyfer.

Additionally, The Wrap reports Dakota Johnson (daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith), who starred on Fox’s short-lived “Ben and Kate,” is in the running to play Anastasia Steele.

Sam Taylor-Johnson will direct the screen adaptation of E L James’ erotic novel, from a screenplay written by Kelly Marcel.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” is slated to hit theaters on August 1, 2014.
