'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting: Elizabeth Olsen as Anastasia Steele [PHOTOS]
Since the beginning of "Fifty Shades of Grey", numerous candidates for the role of Anastasia Steele had been announced. Some early favourites have actually fallen off the radar however there is one actress that chooses to be remembered. Fans of "Fifty" say hello once more to "Martha Marcy May Marlene" star, Elizabeth Olsen.
Olsen had been attached to the movie adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey" back in 2012. Admittedly, the 23-year old sibling of famous twins, Mary Kate and Ashley, was a favourite for the role of Ana. Elizabeth Olsen was constantly paired off with Armie Hammer said to be a potential Christian Grey. Elizabeth's interview with Bullet back in July 2012 had in fact greatly increased her chances to being cast as Ana.
"It's had a huge impact on society. Apparently rope sales have skyrocketed because women who've read the book are really getting into bondage, which is kind of great. It's such a taboo for women to actually discuss sexuality without the help of Cosmopolitan," explained Elizabeth, adding, "All of a sudden, this book has become a sensation because the women reading it haven't had access to this kind of thing before. I was talking to a guy who was making a joke about it, saying 'Clearly these women just need to watch porn.' In a way, he's right."
The basic question of course, would Elizabeth Olsen say yes to the role of Anastasia Steele given the opportunity? Well, the actress already said yes to the role back in her interview with Glamour in September of 2012.
"Sure, if the script is any good," stated Olsen.
For one, if Olsen gets back on the radar, she'll have tough competition with current favourites of which include "Game of Thrones" Emilia Clarke, "Gilmore Girls" Alexis Bledel, "Vampire Diaries" Nina Dobrev, "Twilight" Ashley Greene and "Pretty Little Liars" Troian Bellisario.
