"  Waiting for news about the Fifty Shades of Grey movie is getting painful like a night in the red room. It&amp;#039;s been almost a full year since Universal and Focus Features snatched up the movie rights from (newly-declared feminist) author E.L. James and a solid five months since Kelly Marcel was tapped to adapt the screenplay of the kinkiest love story of our time. And yet, the movie is still &amp;quot;a long way off,&amp;quot; according to Arrow star Stephen Anmell, who is apparently a contender to play Christian Grey. &amp;quot;I get questions about Christian Grey all the time,&amp;quot; the chiseled stud said on his Facebook page this week. &amp;quot;That project is a long way off. I know this, because I had a meeting about it.&amp;quot; In the words of Anastasia Steele: &amp;quot;Argh!&amp;quot;  Amell&amp;#039;s cryptic statement can only mean many more months of idle casting gossip and rampant speculation about who will play billionaire fetishist Christian Grey and his virginal submissive-slash-girlfriend, Anastasia Steele. Emma Watson said this week that she&amp;#039;s pretty much out, while Ian Somerhalder continues to openly campaign for Christian. The filmmakers have a lot of (pleasure) balls making us wait for it like this. After this ungodly torture, the movie better land like a surprisingly pleasurable spanking.
