’50 Shades of Grey’ Movie: Emma Watson Reportedly in Talks to Play Anastasia …

The 50 Shades of Grey movie casting rumors continue with more talk about Emma Watson playing Anastasia Steele. But will the former witch really try to get in touch with her inner goddess while 
bewitching kinky billionaire Christian Grey?
According to New York Daily News, Emma is actually “in talks” for the role after producers Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti singled her out as their favorite for the part.
Emma obviously doesn’t want to be seen as a geeky witch for the rest of her life, but she hasn’t shown much of an interest in taking on sexy roles post-Harry Potter. However, perhaps she’s ready to do something completely different after playing a teen criminal in Bling Ring and a misfit teen in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Now that she’s 22, she might be ready to graduate from high school and move on to college. And no college student has it better than Anastasia Steele.
As far as being sexy goes, at least Emma does get a little racy in The Perks of Being a Wallflower by dancing in lingerie during a performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
But keep in mind that the report that Emma Watson is in talks to star in 50 Shades of Grey could be nothing more than another casting rumor—so many different names have already popped up, and a script for the movie hasn’t even been written yet.
New York Daily News also mentioned that Mila Kunis, Kristen Stewart, and Elizabeth Olsen are other actresses up for playing Ana. However, Mila might be a bit too old for the role, and author E.L. James already said that she doesn’t want Kristen and Robert Pattinson to star in the movie. So if Elizabeth and Emma both want the role, then the other Olsen sister might be the biggest competition of the Harry Potter actress, especially since she has experience doing nude scenes and is currently starring in the sex-oriented movie Very Good Girls. In the movie, Elizabeth’s character decides that she’s ready to lose her virginity just like Ana did in 50 Shades (but probably without the whips and chains).
So do you think that Emma would actually be interested in playing Anastasia Steele, or is Elizabeth Olsen a better fit?

‘Mummy Porn’ the Classics?!

It would appear that the Fifty Shades of Grey has had a profound effect not only on readers but also on writers as we enter a whole new genre of ‘mummy porn’. Well known classics such as Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, and Sherlock Holmes are getting an overhaul to include the omnipresent sex scenes that fill modern women’s novels more than ever before.
The UK’s specialist publisher, Total-E Bound has taken the likes of Charlotte and Emily Bronte and Arthur Conan Doyle and included sex scenes and fetish scenes to reinvent the much loved books as adult fiction.
To give you a taste of what to expect, Jane Eyre has sex with Mr Rochester, as do Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy and a gay relationship develops between the infamous Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Other books in the collection include Northanger Abbey and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne.
The books are still recognisable from the original; however the new sex scenes are interspersed with text we have come to love. The new collection Clandestine Classics take the romances to the next level, which were only yearned for when reading the first edition.
Total-E-Bound, the UK’s largest e-Book publisher of erotic romance fiction thinks that this reinvention of the classics has brought a whole new meaning to the genre.

Claire Siemaszkiewicz, founder of Total-E-Bound Publishing, comments;
“Whenever I read classics from authors like Jane Austen, I often think about the potential ‘uncensored versions’ that the original authors were unable — or unwilling — to include. After all, a lot of these stories are, at the heart, romances. With the launch of Clandestine Classics, readers will finally be able to read what the books could have been like if erotic romance had been acceptable in that day and age, redefining the boundaries and bringing the classics to a new generation of readers.
“As the first erotic romance publisher to bring out a line of re-imagined classics, we recognise it’s a bold move that may have a polarising effect on readers. We’re keeping the works as close to the original classics as possible. It’s not our intention to rewrite or distort them but to create a whole new experience, enhancing the novels by adding deeper relationships, character development, and the ‘missing’ scenes for readers to enjoy.”
Predictably so, more and more woman seeking ‘mummy porn’ are choosing to purchase it as an e book than a paper or hardback to disguise the embarrassment of everyone knowing their text of choice. The figures don’t lie as erotic romance fiction has increased by around a third in the last 12 months, with 50 per cent of sales through e-books.
Total-E-Bound, a worldwide seller of eBooks, has called upon the expertise of writers such as Sierra Cartwright, Sarah Masters, Amy Armstrong, Marie Sexton and Desiree Holt — at 76, the world’s oldest erotic romance writer — launching the series at the end of July.
Award-winning British born author Sierra Cartwright, who is penning the new version of Jane Eyre, said:
“Jane Eyre is a breathtakingly beautiful story which has withstood the test of time. Jane is multi-dimensional, brave; committed to her course of action, and Rochester . . . sigh . . . he’s such an engaging enigma. The love story is captivating, real, rich, complex, and fraught with real conflict.
“There are so many joys of working on Jane Eyre to add erotic content. The biggest challenge it to be sure it’s in fitting with Jane’s character and that the additions don’t change the beautiful flow of the story.
“I’m very excited by Total-E-Bound’s vision for retelling the classics. The Clandestine Classics imprint is intriguing, giving a modern audience access to amazing stories they may have missed.”
British novelist Sarah Masters has altered the first Sherlock Holmes novel A Study in Scarlet as a gay romance, said: “I’d often wondered what it would be like to see a relationship between Holmes and Watson that went beyond companions, so to have the opportunity to do so was very exciting.”
Other classics to receive the sexed up treatment include Dracula, Treasure Island, Wuthering Heights, The Three Musketeers and the Phantom of the Opera are set to follow. Each novel will still read as it originally did, however include supposed ‘deleted scenes’ such as straight, gay, ménage and BDSM relationships.

OK … I am NOT a prude but erotic content is just not required in Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights or Sherlock Holmes. Sex scenes are included in books where the original authors felt it a… Read More
