Fifty Shades of Grey cast announced! Thoughts?

After what seems like an eternity, the actors who will portray the lead roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele have been announced... and well, no-one is entirely sure who they are.

Well, to be fair after this announcement we can expect multiple news stories and bio's to pop up about the two, so by tomorrow we will be experts in all things Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson.

Author of the erotic fiction, EL James broke the news to her Twitter followers today after months of speculation about who would play her creations in bestselling trilogy, Fifty Shades of Grey.

If you have no idea what I'm on about, you must have been living under a rock for the last 18 months. This piece of literature went global with women everywhere proudly reading their copy on public transport, despite the somewhat racy content!

I got into it pretty late, but can't deny how damn addictive reading it made, so the news that a movie was to follow had me and everyone else in a frenzy in no time.

The two young cast members certainly don't look like my Ana and Christian, but maybe that is a good thing. She's pretty, innocent looking and has already bared her bum in The Social Network, so I'm sure she'll be fine.

What's more certain is that everyone will be clocking her every move in the lead up, during and post production of the movie, so don't be surprised if you see her popping up in random places or gracing the FROW with her fashionable presence any time soon.
