Thousands Of '50 Shades Of Grey' Fans Sign Petition Demanding Matthew Bomer & Alexis Bledel Be Cast As Leads

Yesterday, millions of Trader Joe’s wine club members quivered in unison at the news that Sons of Anarchy‘s Charlie Hunnam and Ben and Kate‘s Dakota Johnson will be playing Christian and What’s-Her-Name in 50 Shades of Grey: The Movie, now with extra shade. Who better to play a BDSM freak and his submissive girlfriend than a bike gang leader and the quirky daughter of Don Johnson? Matt Bomer and Rory Gilmore, apparently.

There is an important Change.org petition with thousands and thousands of supporters asking for “Matt Bomer and Alexis Bledel as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele: We want Matt and Alexis on 50 Shades.” Bomer is, of course, the star of White Collar, while Bledel has Pete Campbell for a husband. Hasn’t she suffered enough?

Sample bitch-and-moan comments (so, comments) include:

because matt bomer born to be christian grey with alexis as anastasia steele , they are perfect for this role and match perfectly with the descriptions in the book, by contrast actors chosen actors are very opposed to the expectations and hopes of the fans of the trilogy, with the desicion to be taken of the actors shows that do not understand the part of the book where you say cristian is very sexy and cute girl besides since the actor has already chosen his years, and is not at all what I expected nio voted for the fans of the trilogy. an incredible serious desicion about changing the characters that match properly with expectations.

Beacause is the best book ever,and now,I don’t have any good expectative with the movie.No matt bommer No movie.

That last woman will only see the movies seven times now, NOT eight.
