'50 Shades of Grey' Movie Cast: Jordana Brewster Interested in Anastasia Role, Says It Would Be 'Liberating' [EXCLUSIVE]
The 50 Shades of Grey movie is still searching for just the right actress to play Anastasia Steele -- and now Fast and Furious 6 actress Jordana Brewster is revealing she wants to audition for the coveted lead role.
Brewster admits she'd love playing the young college-age beauty opposite billionaire boyfriend Christian Grey, who is known for his passion in the bedroom
"It is fun to play something a little more risque," she told EnStarz at P&G's Everyday Effect campaign launch in New York.
Fresh off her latest flick, North Of Hell, in which she plays a sexy hire who seduces her boss and blackmails him, Brewster said she loved getting a little naughty on screen and could see herself taking it all off again for E.L. James' sultry novel turned movie.
"I recently did something similar in North of Hell, and it's actually quite liberating," the brunette beauty revealed. "50 Shades would be a fun role to get into."
Although casting rumors have been swirling for months, no official casting decisions have been announced.
Actors Matt Bomer, Henry Cavill, Ryan Gosling and The Vampire Diaries' Ian Somerhalder have all been rumored to be in talks with the producers to play kinky billionaire Christian Grey. Dancing With the Stars pro Val Chmerkovskiy recently admitted he's interested in the role, telling EnStars it is a role he'd be "very comfortable with."
"I've read a few passages from the first book and thought it was pretty extreme, graphic writing, but to be honest, I'd be more comfortable in this role than some others," he revealed.
Last week, E.L. James informed fans that Sam Taylor-Johnson will be directing the 50 Shades of Grey movie via her Twitter. "I'm delighted & thrilled to let you guys know that Sam Taylor-Johnson has agreed to direct the film of Fifty Shades of Grey," she wrote.
Taylor-Johnson is best known for her work on the John Lennon biopic Nowhere Boy.
"I am excited to be charged with the evolution of Fifty Shades of Grey from page to screen," Taylor-Johnson said in a statement. "For the legions of fans, I want to say that I will honor the power of Erika's book and the characters of Christian and Anastasia. They are under my skin too."
