` Fifty Shades of Grey’ Casting Petition Scores 20,000 Signatures for Alexis Bledel and Matt Bomer

“Fifty Shades of Grey” fans are still adamant that they want to see Alexis Bledel and Matt Bomer instead of Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam. An online petition asking producers to recast the upcoming “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie has already caught the signatures of over 20,000 “Fifty Shades of Grey” fans.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” devotees took their campaign to Change.org, a web platform, to let the masters of the film know they get no pleasure from the casting of Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson the movie that will be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson. “Gilmore Girl” aficionados launched an online petition protesting “Fifty Shades of Grey” casting.

The Change.org petition says: "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. So please PLEASE, all of the GREYsessed and Bomerettes in the world NEED those actors. They always will be for us the Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. WE CAN DO ANYTHING GUYS, ANYTHING."

After 18 months of gossip and speculation about casting rumors, “Fifty Shades of Grey” writer E.L. James tweeted the news this week that Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam are were cast as kinky billionaire Christian Grey and virgin student Anastasia Steele on Monday in the big-screen version of “Fifty Shades of Grey”. The erotic drama “Fifty Shades of Grey” has sold over 70 million copies worldwide.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” casting left Alexis Bledel fans disappointed. Alexis Bledel is best known as Rory Gilmore on “Gilmore Girls” and for her role as the streetwalker in “Sin City.” Matt Bomer is the top on most fan polls to play the dominant Christian Grey. Matt Bomer is best known for his supporting roles in “Magic Mike” and “In Time.” Bomer also played in the TV series “White Collar.”

“Fifty Shades of Grey” producer Dana Brunetti took to Twitter to explain "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. So if your favourite wasn't cast, then it is most likely due to something on that list. Keep that in mind while hating and keep perspective."

Matt Bomer was the fan’s favorite choice to play Christian Grey, barely edging out Henry Cavil, who played the “Man of Steel” and Ian Somerholder of “Vampire Diaries.”

One commenter wrote “Matt Bomer is perfect to play this role… He’s the only Christian Grey. He is a great actor and he can fit the character perfectly… No Bomer No Movie.”
