"Bret Easton Ellis has given his thoughts on who should appear in a movie adaptation of 50 Shades of Grey. The American Psycho author recently revealed that he would be interested in turning E.L James&amp;#039;s bestselling erotic fiction into a film.   Ellis later added on Twitter: &amp;quot;Okay. Today the team has been briefed and we will be approaching the studio this week about BEE adapting Fifty Shades of Grey into a film.  &amp;quot;Thanks to everyone supporting BEE adapting Fifty Shades of Grey: the response has been huge and amazing. Hope E.L. James feels the same way. &amp;quot;The casting of Christian in Fifty Shades of Grey wouldn&amp;#039;t be up to me but I have certain actors in mind. And a particular actress for Ana.&amp;quot;   He continued: &amp;quot;I think David Cronenberg is a great idea for directing Fifty Shades of Grey and we worked together on American Psycho in its initial phase. &amp;quot;Cronenberg and Alexander Skarsg\u00C3\u00A5rd is a no-brainer. I&amp;#039;ve seen Alexander naked so many times at the gym that we both attend: perfect casting. &amp;quot;For Fifty Shades of Grey: David Cronenberg, Alexander Skarsg\u00C3\u00A5rd, Bret Easton Ellis and who as... Anastasia??? &amp;quot;I would love it if we lived in a world where Lena Dunham could be Ana in Fifty Shades of Grey but I don&amp;#039;t think we do. I think she&amp;#039;s hot.&amp;quot;   Ellis added: &amp;quot;Tonight&amp;#039;s epic fight on Girls between Allison Williams/Lena Dunham convinced me that either one of them could play Ana in Fifty Shades of Grey. &amp;quot;Thinking more conventionally for Ana in Fifty Shades of Grey: Scarlett Johansson or Kristen Stewart. Alex Pettyfer as Christian: too young? &amp;quot;Aaron Johnson as Christian Grey? In a perfect world it would be Ryan Gosling as Christian Grey... &amp;quot;David Cronenberg directing. Bret Easton Ellis writing. Ryan Gosling acting. Fifty Shades of Grey team... Shades of Grey.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
