We can’t understand why fans of “Fifty Shades of Grey” are making such a fuss over the casting choices. Fans are outraged that Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson were selected for the leading roles. In our opinion, not-so-familiar actors let the audience concentrate on the story and make it more real and enjoyable. For example, when someone like Tom Cruise is in a movie, we never forget who he is and he always seems to be playing himself. HE overrides the plot. A new face makes the story seem real. Charlie Hunnam, 33, looks like a young Brad Pitt, is English, and has sold several screenplays. Picture him without the “Sons of Anarchy” facial hair and you’ve got a sexy Christian Grey. And Dakota Johnson is attractive and the appropriate age. The movie will be better without intrusive “big name” stars.

I agree. I enjoy some movies more with actors that I don’t know. I can’t think if an example now though. LOL. But I think they made a good decision, although I’ll keep thinking that Dakota is Melanie Griffin and Don Johnson’s daughter. But I probably won’t see this movie anyway.
being a Homosexual in hollywood isn’t hard at all.
DONT WASTE UR TIME AND MONEY ON THAT 50 SHADES OF SHIT BOOK AND/OR MOVIE
Charlie Hunnam… hot hot hot!!! People that haven’t seen him in SOA are gonna be pleasantly surprised, I believe… he’s got “it”.
He’s got it alright! His kid would be gorgeous too!
It’s not that they are unknowns, it is they are not attractive and slick enough is the problem.
I pictured Brad Pitt in this role. I still think he could pull it off.
