By the time 50 Shades Movie Comes Out, Will Anyone Care? 0

The fan-photoshopped EW cover with Matt Bomer

There’s so much hype and it hasn’t even been cast yet, but here’s the latest on everything 50 Shades:

Kelly Marcel will write the screenplay. Marcel wrote the script for Saving Mr. Banks last year and cocreated Terra Nova (which was a decent TV show, but got canceled).

Ryan Gosling Not the Frontrunner to Play Christian Grey: Reports that E.L. James’  husband  said that Ryan was the No. 1 choice to star in the film had been “completely misreported.” (Which is good because I don’t see him as Christian at all)

Ian Somerhalder “Gets It”: Ian has been a fan favorite and said he’d “absolutely” be up for the role. In September, Somerhalder told E! News with a grin, “I get why it’s taken off the way it has.” (He’s my personal favorite for the role)

Alexander Skarsgård “Was Born to Play” Mr. Grey: Skars told  Access Hollywood that he was a natural to play Seattle’s billionaire bad boy. “Where do I sign?” he asked. ”He’s got a sex chamber? My character has that on True Blood!” Skarsgård, who seems like he’d feel right at home in Christian’s Red Room of Pain, said with a smile he “was born to play that part.” (He’d be good at it, although after some horrible seasons of True Blood (not his fault), I’m not feeling Skars as Christian as much)

Matt Bomer Most Controversial Choice: Fans photoshopped into the role of Mr. Fifty Shades on a  fake Entertainment Weekly cover, which filmmakers were quick to point out that this was, sadly, just a hoax. And Bret Easton Ellis (who is bummed he wasn’t chosen to write the Fifty Shades screenplay) does not want to see Bomer playing the role of Christian. But I’m seeing Matt’s name come up more and more as a possible Christian.

As far as Ana goes:

Emma Watson‘s name has come up. Nina Dobrev is another (which if Ian is cast would be either like real life or the Vampire Diaries). Mila Kunis has recently been named as a potential.

I hadn’t heard this one before, but Angelina Jolie is rumored to be a possible director, which would be awesome because you know she’s into the kinky shit.

So basically, we know nothing!

Olivia Wilde Looking all fairy-like at Encounter Debut 1

by • Spotted • Tags: ,

How does she do it? Olivia Wilde is basically wearing a green slip with a cape, but she looks all ethereal and gorgeous. I guarantee you if I wore that, it would look like a cheesy Halloween costume. Of course, that’s probably because I’d be running around flapping my arms and playing with my cape while I pretended I was one of those fairies that dances at the fairy club on True Blood. Alexander Skarsgard’s making that face again. (O)_(O)  I can’t decide if it’s odd or endearing.

Skarsgard and Sausage Factories 0

This two minute short film for Calvin Klein’s Encounter fragrance is already better than the entire last season of True Blood. Alexander Skarsgard is the face of Encounter and he talked about what smells he likes and dislikes:

Do you have a favorite scent?

Well, I have one that’s pretty odd. I grew up in south Stockholm, and it used to be a working class neighborhood. It’s become trendy but not when I was growing up. There was this sausage factory a block away from my childhood apartment. It didn’t smell nice, like chorizo or something, it was pretty foul. Just nasty. But that smell reminds me so much of my childhood, because every morning when I was going to school I would smell that. So if I ever find myself near a sausage factory, I like it. It reminds me of my childhood.

Is there a scent that you hate?

I don’t like those artificial air fresheners. They just smell so fake. It’s too much. I know that it’s weird to say that you don’t like the smell of those but like the smell of sausage.
