It's a new week, and you know what that means. More "50 Shades of Grey" casting rumors. This time around, rumors are straying away from the regular fan favorites and turning to a couple new contenders. They haven't been generating the same level of "50 Shades" buzz as top Christian and Anastasia candidates, but it's hard deny that they would make a wonderful pair on the big screen.
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively may be on the "50 Shades" backburner, but now they're turning heads as possible Christian and Ana contenders. The pair has chemistry off screen, so naturally the romance would translate seamlessly. They already share an intimate relationship, so why not show it off to the world? It wouldn't be uncomfortable for them to get down and dirty on the "50 Shades" film as they've already done it a million times behind closed doors.
Reynolds, 36, is the right age and has the right chiseled look to play Christian, while Lively's entrancing and seductive features would be perfect for Anastasia. CelebsGather claims that Reynolds doesn't come across as the domineering type while some fans claim that Lively's blonde hair would contradict Ana's, but it's Hollywood. Anyone can easily change his or her appearance to fit a role. It's been done a million times before. Besides, in Lively's case, all she would have to do is dye her hair.
According to TheStirCafeMom, casting an actual couple could go either way. It could make for a great onscreen chemistry or could destroy the movie, but if they're going to do it, the time is now. "Their chemistry would likely be off the charts, simply because they've only been married for a few days, so they're smack dab in the middle of the honeymoon phase of their lives right now. That's typically the time when things are the hottest between any married couple, so if they're going to play a dominant and submissive, now might be the time to do it."
So what do you think? Although they might be overshadowed by the likes of Matt Bomer, Ian Somerhalder, Felicity Jones and Alexis Bledel, would Reynolds and Lively make a good Christian and Anastasia?
