Fifty Shades of Grey on the big screen?...

The best-selling book of 2012 so far will be making its way to the silver-screen!

Following the huge success that the knee-trembling erotic novel has had this year, 'Universal' have announced a work in progress movie ,which is rumoured to be released next year. The book sold a whopping 1 million copies on the Amazon kindle alone, out of the 5.3 million it has sold in total. These figures meant that it has become the best selling book in the UK since Harry Potter, eclipsing Rowling's previous record. Casting has already been among the talks of the production with Kate Beckinsale as a favourite to play Anastasia Steele, the lead female role. Easton Ellis, a writer that had recently been left off the short-list, had been swapping cast ideas on twitter for weeks with his followers. Among these were; Channing Tatum, Tom Hardy, Aaron Johnson, Alex Pettyfer, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Ian Sommerhalder, Christian Bale and American Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte for the part of the lead male. However, for all you fifty fans, another year or so may be what it takes to complete the project and who knows?, maybe 2013 will be one of the best years for cinema yet...
