Glory joy ladies, we are one step closer to having a 'Fifty Shades of Grey' movie!

Focus features, the specialty films unit of Universal Pictures has announced that Fifty Shades of Grey will be released come 1st of August...2014! Yes, yes its still a long time away but at least we know when to look forward to. The movie which will be an adaptation of the best selling novel, Fifty Shades of Grey will go head to head in the cinemas with Marvel's new superhero movie «Guardians of the Galaxy» next year.

Last week, English filmmaker Sam Taylor-Wood was announced as director of the movie, her most notable work being 'Nowhere Boy', the biopic on Beatles singer, John Lenon. However, the slot for lead acts still remains ominously undecided. Fans of the erotic novel have debated on who best will portray the lead characters of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele since the release of the novel early last year but camp 50 Shades have remained silent on who gets the pick. Some of the artistes who have been suggested include Matt Bomer, Henry Cavill, Ian Somerhalder, Alexander Skarsgard, Robert Pattinson, Chris Hemsworth and Ryan Gosling for the part of Christian Grey while Mila Kunis, Lucy Hale, Lily Collins, Nina Dobrev, Sophia Bush, Alexis Bledel, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart have all been tipped for the role of Anastasia Steele.

Fifty Shades of Grey is an immensely successful novel which tells the love story of an inexperienced college fresh graduate and an impossibly handsome billionaire. The novel spun a cult following after release and has sold over 70 million copies worldwide.

So who do you think should play the role of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele?
