Get on with casting Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, fans are tired of polls!

Every day there is a new poll on the casting of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, not to mention all the fake news as well. However, it looks like fans are getting tired of all the hypothetical Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey candidates and want the studios to finally give us some proper news.

When a fan favorite talks about playing Anastasia and Christian, that’s all exciting and good, but apparently this is not what fans want. In fact many fans are complaining that they want REAL casting news on Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, whether it’s from E.L. James or producers Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti. 

The studios have found a screenwriter for Fifty Shades of Grey the movie, but that’s not enough to keep the hungry fans at bay – they want Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. They’re tired of endless Anastasia Steel and Christian Grey polls on Books & Review, and there is only so much you can read about Ian Somerhalder or Matt Bomer reigning in at number one on the polls.


It looks like the initial excitement of the Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey polls have finally disappeared into voter fatigue.

“Vote fatigue has definitely set in,” said one Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey fan, “How many times can people vote on the same thing over and over again… I think the fan favorites have been made clear for a very long time now. It was fun at first, but it’s no longer fun and has become quite redundant and dragged out.”

While some fans are getting tired, others are getting annoyed at the producers and author E.L. James.

“From what I’m hearing all fan bases are getting tired of this,” said another fan on the Fifty Shades of Grey movie featuring Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, “Fans are becoming Fifty Shades of discontent. Eventually people will lose interest and move on if no news is forthcoming. I don’t have much faith that what the fans want will be considered. Those involve with the film don’t seem to be too fan friendly.”

What do you think? Do you think the producers holding back on casting Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey are alienating fans?

Chase Crawford as Christian Grey?

The list of potential Christian Grey candidates seem to fluctuate on a weekly basis, but the top five remain pretty secure, however can this new Christian Grey candidate shake things up?

Gossip Girl’s Chase Crawford, who plays Nate Archibald in the series, is the new addition to the list of Christian Grey favorites who might give the others a run for their money. Chase fits the profile perfectly; he’s definitely got the good looks and body to take on the role of hunky Christian Grey and also has the grey eyes that we hear so much about. The actor is also the perfect age, at 27-years-old, so he’s the same age as Christian Grey.

Let’s look at Chase Crawford’s acting skills. He plays the part of young entrepreneur leading his own newspaper in Manhattan and definitely leads the luxurious lifestyle Christian Grey has, so it looks like Chase Crawford won’t be a stranger to town cars, fine dining and helicopter riding. However, there is something sweet and innocent about Chase Crawford’s character on Gossip Girl, which make us wonder whether he’s the ideal candidate to portray someone as complex and deviant as Christian Grey.

Chase Crawford may not be widely talked about for the role of Christian Grey, but slowly his name is rising in the polls, and while there is plenty of time before the studios consider casting Christian Grey for the movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey, does that give Chase enough time to catch up?

At the moment the hottest Christian Grey contenders are Matt Bomer, Ian Somerhalder and Ryan Gosling. At the moment the polls show Matt Bomer and Ian Somerhalder as being the fan favorites for the part of Christian Grey and have been maintaining their top spots quite firmly, although there is a bit of fluctuation between the two competing actors. Even E.L. James admitted to being a Vampire Diaries fan, which lends a nod towards Ian Somerhalder in the part of Christian Grey, but Matt Bomer, does have a huge fan following who are dying to see him take up the role of Christian Grey.
