'Fifty Shades of Grey' Casting Polls: Alexander Skarsgard & Lily Collins in the Lead [PHOTOS]
E.L. James' best-selling erotica novel is getting more attention nowadays and sales continue to increase. While Lionsgate still hasn't announced the final details on the film adaptation, the hype for the cast of "Fifty Shades of Grey" is on an all-time high.
In fact, in a few polls, fans have already chosen their protégés for Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.
Based on the highly-popular vampire couple in Stephanie Meyers' "Twilight", Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey have something more to offer than Edward and Isabella. From swoon-worthy lines to heavy romance, "Fifty Shades of Grey" tackles a love story with a darker twist involving BDSM.
The story revolves around 22-year old, Anastasia Steele, a soon-to-be college graduate who gets involved with 27-year old entrepreneur, Christian Grey. The first few chapters of "Fifty Shades of Grey" would simply strike a few readers as pure sap. However, if one delves deeper into the trilogy, "Fifty Shades of Grey" offered more than what Paulo Coelho's "Eleven Minutes" conveyed.
It is from this reason why "Fifty Shades of Grey" continues to rock the book sales all over the world. Originally banned from over a few states, E.L. James' novel is now openly released because the demand for it continues to rise. Even Hollywood celebrities are hooked on the novel. Some have even expressed genuine interest in playing the lead roles of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey.
Well, with no word or update from Lionsgate studio, all fans can do is cross their fingers and hope their chosen cast get picked. Some avid readers of the book have already created polls in case the production studio needs a little help with the casting. So who among the A-list celebrities topped the "Bloomfield Patch" poll as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele?
"True Bloods'", Alexander Skarsgard, won by a landslide as the brooding and dark, Christian Grey. Opposite Skarsgard as Anastasia Steele is Lily Collins.
Collins led the poll by up to 30% of the votes. Runners-up for Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele were Colin Egglesfield and Amanda Seyfried. "Vampire Diaries'", Ian Somerhalder also made it to the poll. Actors Henry Cavill and Katherine McPhee surprisingly made it to the top contenders as well.
