    I think the trouble with making any book to film adaptation is that all of the fans have very specific images in their heads. Everyone will have their own picture of the "perfect" [insert character name]. Sometimes Hollywood hits the mark well and it's generally close enough to please the masses most times they don't. On the other hand if an actor is skilled they can surprise you, maybe these choices will surprise fans by being able to carry the roles despite not meeting visual expectations.

    I've tried to read the books and failed, much like I did with the twilight series they are poorly written in my opinion though I know women who rave about them and in fact recommended them to me energetically, both series now I come to think of it... hmm. It will be interesting however to see how they make a movie out of this because as others have stated it's essentially an x rated bdsm novel.

    I hope these actors are practicing up on their 'blushing, flushing and gasping", because that's pretty much half the text of the book :laugh:

    Not to mention murmuring. Seriously that's about the way they said everything in the book.

    I liked the general story but the book was very poorly written.
    OMG..yes, how could I forget all the murmurring? She did a lot of biting her lip and blinking up at him too....I'm sure that will take some serious acting chops :huh:

    Not just looks. He's also rich. So, you know, stalking and control issues are perfectly OK.

    And, you know, accusing your WIFE of trying to trap you when she winds up pregnant the storming off to get drunk with your ex dom who hates your wife and wants you back.

    What a hero.

    *swoon*
    Oh jeez! I didn't read the second or third books, but it annoyed me in the first one how she kept claiming not to care about his money. As if she would have kept going back if he was some guy who made like $50K a year?

    Ugh more cliche` of course he had to be rich and of course she doesnt care. Just like the damn Twilight series Belle claimed to not love money, but she didnt end up with the poor Indian wolf boy living on the reservation.

    I glad that they didn't choose any big name actors. Good choice that they chose newbies.

    LMAO

    They didn't choose them. Those were the only actors willing to tie their names to this junk. No one established would touch it.
