Emma Watson 'A Frontrunner' For 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Role
Brian To/WENNShe's most famous for playing an innocent wizarding girl in Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, but apparently Emma Watson could be about to shed her wholesome image and take on the role of Anastasia Steel in the movie adatation of 'Fifty Shades Of Grey'.
That's according to the IB Times, who name Watson as being one of those likely to be chosen by 'The Social Network' producers Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti, who have been put in charge of the movie version of E.L. James' erotic novels.
The publication don't actually mention why the actress is so likely to get the role, other than that she has the right looks for the part, combining a degree of innocence with the acting skills to portray the young graduate who gets swept into a world of sado-masochistic sex with a kinky billionaire, Christian Grey.
Others in the frame to play Anastasia are believed to be Elizabeth Olsen, Mila Kunis and Kristen Stewart.
The favourites for the role of Grey are Ryan Gosling and Ian Somerhalder, although former TOWIE star Mark Wright has declared an interest in the role.
It would certainly make a change to see Emma in 'Fifty Shades Of Grey', where she'd be more likely to see a whip than a wand.
