50 Shades of Charlie Hunnam

.
Unsurprisingly, since we've been covering Charlie Hunnam's every move since forever and a day ago and have documented pretty much everything there is to document on him in that time, we've gotten a whole lot of traffic here at MNPP over the past couple of days since the news broke that Charlie Hunnam will be taking the role of sexy billionaire abuser Christian Grey in the long-threatened movie adaptation of the 50 Shades of Grey book that had all the ladies sliding along the subway benches last year. People are googling the hell out of Charlie's ass! And we're fulfilling their needs. And I'm more than happy to oblige.

As for Charlie taking on the role, well every bit of purple prose I've had quoted at me from that book has been beyond horrible - I mean, we're talking astonishing in its ineptness. (Not that EL James gives a crap; she's rolling in it, if by "it" I mean both "shit, of her own making," as well as "literally tons and tons of hundreds dollar bills.") But good movies have been made from shit sources before. And... yeah let's be honest, we're talking about Charlie Hunnam being a pervert. I've already bought my ticket. Don't listen to me. What do you guys think?

I'm kind of surprised. The reviews for his last movie pretty much all stated he gave the worst performance of the year. I mean I'm sure no one is going into 50 Shades for the acting anyway..

I am recording a podcast series right now where me and my galpal read the book aloud and provide our bitchy commentary, and I will say that they can only go up from the source material. It's baaaaaad. I mean, I know everyone knows it's bad, but the characters are even more psychotic and ludicrous than ANY OTHER "romance" novel out there. It's ghastly.

I really don't see the need to pay to see Charlie's ass when it'll be online eventually and oh yeah, he's nekkid in plenty of other things that don't make me fucking cringe. These books are misogynistic and racist and zero research went into them. How thirsty can housewives be to stand reading about a protagonist who is supposed to be a current day college student and who doesn't know what a laptop or email is, let alone an orgasm.

I never read the books so I really don't give a shit. However, 2 of the guys I work with are devestated! They are so mad that Matthew Boomer wasn't chosen. Apparently there's an online petition against Charlie being cast and in the first 12 hours thousands and thousands of people have signed it.
I'm sure Charlie Hunnam will do a great job. I'm also sure I won't go to a theater to see it and when the dvd comes out I doubt that I'll see it then either.
Some guy getting off by beating the crap out of a woman just isn't my cup of tea, you know what I mean?

As much as I adore Charlie Hunnum as a person and an actor , I would not want him to be in a movie version of "Fifty Shades of Grey": Charlie is too intelligent and too good an actor and right now the book is dreadful. If -- and this is a big 'if' -- a screenplay were made that was excellent (and explored the multiple layers of the characters and had great dialogue) AND had an outstanding director (i.e., Soderburgh et al, who could get beyond the surface 'porn' and shallowness of the book), that's the only way I would want Matt to make a choice to do a movie like that. He's so much better than that. Yes, Charlie Hunnum is sexy and can convey depths to his characters, but I'd prefer he make really intelligent choices in his movie roles. I'd go see anything that he's in, but even though he's the sexiest male star on TV or in movies today, "Christian Grey" is the right role for him. Matt can play "dark", but he's also sweet and he's way too intelligent to take part in a shallow film unless a top-notch director and screenwriter were involved.

I've loved Charlie since the day I saw a man ram his tongue in between Charlie's butt cheeks but a lot of people want Matt Bomer and that Gilmore Girl to star and I have to say I agree completely.

The book may be poorly written garbage but the subject matter, in the hands of the right director could end up being a very provocative and interesting film indeed.

Anyone who signs a petition against Charlie Hunnam for any reason should have a restriction order from any movie theatre... for life.

Yeah, so the books may be shit, but this film will just be a sexy gifsetted & pic spammed blip in Charlie's career. I think we'll all be okay in the end for it having existed.

"The Newcastle-born Brit, who will star opposite Dakota Johnson in the page-to-screen transfers of EL James' "mummy porn" books, was apparently flanked by bonus security at the relaunch of his hit show Sons Of Anarchy."
I m excited for the 50 Shades Of Grey Movie. I cant wait for releasing date.
Want to watch my favourite to play role Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam.
