Mila Kunis tells The Huffington Post that she's "not disinterested" in the role of Anastasia Steele in the upcoming film adaptation of the erotic E L James book "Fifty Shades of Grey". In the book, Anastasia Steele is a 22 year-old college student. Kunis is 30.
Still, I can see her in the role--without having read the book.
What began as a posting on a fan-fiction website as a tribute to author Stephenie Meyer 's Twilight books soon became a word-of-mouth eBook hit that won a major reprint deal with Random House.
The sexually-explicit story follows 27-year-old billionaire Christian Grey and 22-year-old virgin college student Anastasia Steele, who develop a relationship steeped in bondage, S&M, domination and submission. The novel is the first in a planned trilogy. James has sold 31 million e-book and print copies in English-language markets worldwide, in the U.S. alone she has sold over 20 million copies in e-book and print.
Kelly Marcel is writing the adapted screenplay. She previously worked on "Terra Nova" and penned the upcoming "Saving Mr. Banks"
"Moneyball" and "The Social Network" producers Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti won a bidding war to produce the film version of "Shades".
Separate searches are stll underway to find the right person to star in and direct.
