Fifty Shades Of Grey Movie Cast Rumor: Dakota Johnson, To Play Ana Steele - 'The Social Network,' '21 Jump Street' Star Could Make Major Step

Fifty Shades of Grey movie cast rumours: Dakota Johnson has become a lead contender to play the role of Ana Steele.

Johnson had roles in "The Social Network" and "21 Jump Street," but this could be her biggest role as a main star as a part of the Fifty Shades of Grey movie cast. She would play the lead female role in the trilogy of books that is set to make have three films as well.

Dakota Johnson starred in the T.V. series "Ben and Kate," as Kate. Unfortunately, the show lasted one season. According to IMDB, Johnson's role on the show was as a neurotic and awkward yet earnest single mom who works as a bartender. Her college boyfriend broke up with her once she became pregnant with Maddie and she is since wary of the dating world.

If given the opportunity to cast the role of Ana Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, she would have the opportunity as a big star.

Anastasia "Ana" Steele is a 21-year-old college senior attending Washington State University Vancouver in Washington with her best friend Katherine "Kate" Kavanagh, who writes for their student newspaper. Due to an illness, Kate persuades Ana to take her place and interview 27-year-old Christian Grey, an incredibly successful and wealthy young entrepreneur. Ana is instantly attracted to Christian, but also finds him intimidating.

There is a connection that could give Dakota Johnson a slight edge over others for the role. The producers of the "The Social Network" are part of the crew to create this film.

A film adaptation of the book is to be produced by Universal Pictures, Focus Features, Michael De Luca Productions, and the producers of "The Social Network", Trigger Street Productions. Universal is also acting as the film's distributors. The projected release date is August 1, 2014, according to Variety Insight.
