Who else are the fan-favorites for the leads?
Mila Kunis once said she was "not disinterested" in possibly taking a role, but fans shouldn't get their hopes up. "No, you will not see me in 'Fifty Shades of Grey,'"said the actress recently."I’m so sorry."
During a recent interview on "Watch What Happens Live," Ian Somerhalder neither confirmed nor denied that he was seeking out the role of Christian Grey, yet he's expressed interest in the past.
At a press event for the 2012 film "Savages," actress Blake Lively was asked how she felt about possibly being considered for a role in the adaptation of "Fifty Shades," but until that point, Lively had never even heard of the book.
"TrueBlood" actor Alexander Skarsgard said last year that he "was born to play" the part of Christian Grey. A few months later, however, he claimed he hadn't read the books, or really thought much about further about taking on the role.
Former "Gilmore Girls" actress Alexis Bledel is a fan favorite frontrunner for the role, but couldn't confirm whether she's attached. "… Everyone in my life has asked me about it, because once something's online, a lot of people consider it to be factual in some way,"said Bledel.
Fans have been gunning for "White Collar" actor Matt Bomer as the film's leading man, but in a February interview posted to BBC.com, Bomer claimed he had not been approached to play the part.
