Hollywood has been abuzz with rumors about who will be cast as Christian Grey in the movie version of the bestseller book Fifty Shades of Grey by British author E.L James. Several top stars names have been dropped into the hat from Ryan Gosling (swoon) to Ian Somerhalder and Zac Efron. 

It has just been confirmed that fellow Brit Sam Taylor Wood is to direct the film but the casting of Anastasia and Christian remains up in the air and the source of much speculation.

The latest rumor is that author E.L James is sticking with the British theme and wants Robert Pattinson to play the intriguing and dangerous Christian Grey after spending time talking with the star this weekend at a party he hosted at his Los Feliz home for director Nicholas Jarecki.

With so many great potential stars names in the mix we aren’t sure who will end up being cast as the dangerous but intriguing Christian Grey but we have a feeling a formal announcement will be coming soon.
