In the latest "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie cast news, Dakota Johnson was spotted with brunette hair, most likely in preparation for her role as Anastasia Steele in the cast of the movie "Fifty Shades of Grey."

Dakota Johnson was spotted with dark brown hair as she shopped with friend and fellow actress Imogen Poots, at The Grove in West Hollywood, California, on Monday, Nov. 11, E! News reports. The 24-year-old actress is probably getting into character as Anastasia Steele, who is a brunette in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" book written by E.L. James. Dakota Johnson is starting to look a lot like the young, recent college graduate who meets the seductive Christian Grey.

The "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie is set to start filming in about three weeks, in early December.

A source recently told E! that the actress is finding her sudden rise to fame difficult.

"Dakota is having a very hard time dealing with all the press," the source told the publication, The Daily Mail reports.

"When she first got the role, it was way too much for her. It's been tough," the source added.

Meanwhile, Dakota Johnson's co-star, Jamie Dornan, will make an "amazing" Christian Grey, according to actress Jennifer Ehle, who will play Anastasia's mother in the film.

Ehle talked to E! News at the BAFTA Los Angeles Jaguar Britannia Awards on Saturday, Nov. 9, about the selection of Jamie Dornan as Grey.

"I didn't follow any of the drama, but I think Jamie will be amazing," Ehle said.

Ehle also admitted that she hadn't read any of the "Fifty Shades" novels until after she was cast in the movie, but she is excited to be part of the global frenzy around the franchise.

She added: "It's extraordinary. I'm excited. I feel kind of like a tourist ... I'm along for the ride, as it were."

"Fifty Shades of Grey" is set to hit theaters on Aug. 1, 2014.
