The 50 Shades of Grey movie rumors continue to float around the Internet like clockwork, as actress Shailene Woodley has come up yet again as a potential suitor for the groundbreaking role of Anastasia Steele.

According to Digital Spy, the 20-year-old was actually considered to be the favorite of book author E.L. James for the part of the shy, college graduate. The site reported that James was instantly sold on the easy on the eyes actress upon watching The Descendants, which she starred in with George Clooney.

Woodley is mostly known for her work on ABC's The Secret Life of the American Teenager and was also coined as one of the "2012 Most Beautiful at Every Age" by People Magazine.

Screenwriter Kelly Marcel, who is currently working on the 50 Shades movie script, said that she'd be adhering to the context of the books with lots of sex and raunchiness.

Producers of the highly anticipated flick are said to be shooting for an NC-17 rating, according to a write-up in Style magazine. Although they've yet to officially attach a director to the franchise, 50 Shades of Grey is slated for its big screen release in summer of 2014, and will be shot in London.
