'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting: Taylor Lautner as Christian Grey and Marie Avgeropoulos as Anastasia Steele [PHOTOS]
"Twilight's" Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart may be the strongest contending couple for the part of Christian and Ana in the upcoming film adaptation for "Fifty Shades of Grey." Yet, another "Twilight" hunk is ready to steal the spotlight from the "Robsten" duo along with his lovely girlfriend. New Hollywood hot couple, Taylor Lautner and Marie Avgeropoulos are the latest stars eyed for the "Fifty Shades of Grey" film.
E.L. James had taken inspiration for "Fifty Shades of Grey" from Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight." All thanks to Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey were born. This of course has led fans to believe that the coveted parts would be handed over to the "Robsten" couple. Yet, that isn't the case. James along with Director Sam Taylor-Johnson is still searching for suitable actors for the lead parts.
Well, they might not need to look further because "Tracers" stars might just be the next Ana and Christian for the film. Taylor Lautner, who had also starred in "Twilight", is the latest hunk up for the part of 27-year old entrepreneur, Christian Grey. Lautner's on and off screen belle, Marie Avgeropoulos is also eyed as a potential Anastasia Steele.
"Apparently, things are heating up between the sexy pair both on AND off screen. They were spotted enjoying dinner together at NYC's popular Izakaya Ten restaurant on July 24. The duo dined together at a table in the back with four other friends. They held hands during the meal and were very affectionate, laughing and having a good time... They were very cute together," reports an insider to US Weekly.
With the chemistry heating up between Taylor and Marie on and off screen, could there be a possibility of the lovers starring in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" film? Check out the slideshow to see more of this hot new Hollywood couple up for the role of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.
