Recasted: 50 Shades of Grey (Could'a Been…)

Casting could have made this a MUCH better movie.

Here's my ideal cast list for what I think would have made the Fifty Shades movie match (or exceed) the book expectations. The following are for all three books, so some of these characters haven't been seen yet on-screen. What do you think of these choices? Let me know in the comments below. 

Christian Grey  Alex Pettyfer	Anastasia Steele  Melissa Benoist
Kate Kavanaugh Annalynne McCord	Ethan Kavanaugh Hayden Christensen
José Rodriguez Jesse Metcalf	Elliot Grey Ryan Kwanten
Mia Grey Kylie Bunbury	Jason Taylor Max Martini
Dr. Grace Trevelyn Grey Sela Ward	Carrick Grey Chris Potter
Ray Steele (Ana's Dad) Dougray Scott	Carla (Ana's Mom) Allison Janney
Elena Lincoln Uma Thurman	Gail Jones Shawnee Smith
Dr. Flynn (The Psychiatrist) Dermot Mulroney	Jack Hyde Ben Foster
Elizabeth Morgan Deanna Russo

I'm very sorry to hear that Andy Whitfield's cancer has not stayed in remission.
I think Spartacus had the makings of an excellent show - if only the timing had worked better.

I was willing to give it another season to see if they could gel (the actors, the writers, the characters and storylines).

But one message to the writers, if you're having trouble thinking of a replacement for Andy, look no further… Sam Worthington.
