Since then, an online petition with nearly 50,000 signatures is petitioning for Matt Bomer and Alexis Bledel (former heavy favorites to play the leading roles) to replace Hunnam and Johnson.
"Matt Bomer is the PERFECT DESCRIPTION OF CHRISTIAN GREY AND ALEXIS BLEDEL IS THE PERFECT ACTRESS TO REPRESENT ANASTASIA STEELE and if THEY ARE NOT, NOBODY WILL BE And I read the whole trilogy and I can assure that Matt is the perfect actor for this movie and Alexis too," says the petition.
Since then, the producers and team behind the "50 Shades of Grey" movie has voiced the reasons behind the cast choice, to simmer the intense reactions.
There is a lot that goes into casting that isn't just looks. Talent, availability, their desire to do it, chemistry with other actor, etc.
