"  You guys. Finally, there&amp;#039;s some solid news on the Fifty Shades of Grey movie! This calls for exclamation points!  We are now one step closer to seeing Christian and Ana on the big screen, because the film version has its director: And it&amp;#039;s a woman! Fifty-year-old Sam Taylor-Johnson will be at the helm of the erotic novel&amp;#039;s adaption for the screen and we couldn&amp;#039;t be more excited. This is the trilogy that got women everywhere feverishly masturbating; who better to tell the tale of a young woman&amp;#039;s sexual transformation into BDSM goddess than another woman, right? (Plus, we like seeing the highly-coveted gig going to a Sam, given that female directors remain somewhat akin to unicorns in Hollywood.) Plus, all of you who were not impressed with the idea of Alex Pettyfer playing hunky, S&amp;amp;amp;M aficionado Christian Grey, can rest easy. With Gus Van Sant, who directed a sex scene with Pettyfer as a try-out of sorts, out of the running, we imagine there&amp;#039;s less of a chance that the Magic Mike actor will get the role. (Unless of course Taylor-Johnson saw the scene they filmed and loved it, who knows?) However, there has been some talk that she might pick her hubby, 23-year-old Savages actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, to play Christian...and while we don&amp;#039;t mean to sound like jerks, we really hope not. Our hearts are still set on Ian Somerhalder. Or maybe Alexander Skarsgard.  Or, dear god please, Ryan Gosling...  Want more from Natasha? Follow her on Twitter or find her on Facebook.
