Still no official word on who will be play Anastasia Steele or Christian Grey but there is new casting rumor buzz. Actress Jane Levy's name has crept up to play Grey's love interest as Anastasia Steele. The name was suggested by Everything 50 Shades and for some this is probably the first time her name has been mentioned to land the role but she could be a good candidate.
She's only 23 and a lot closer to Steele's age in the book than some of the other names mentioned like fan-favorites Alexis Bledel (31) and Emilia Clarke (26). She also doesn't have a lot of high profile gigs under her belt which is important. It's been rumored several times that whoever lands the parts of Steele and Grey are not going to be well known actors because producers and the "50 Shades" team want the actor and actress to be strictly known for their roles in the movie. It's something like with "Harry Potter" and "Twilight." Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson will forever be remembered as the young wizards at Hogwarts just like Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson are widely known as Bella and Edward.
As some fans pointed out she is a good actress (she also starred in "Evil Dead" and is currently filming "About Alex"), she doesn't look her age which could help when she plays the recently graduated Steele and she has that sex appeal that the character develops over time. However, some people feel she is missing the "innocent" look and fans can't deny that this is crucial when it comes to Christian Grey's love interest.
Levy would be up against some very tough competition for the role. Alexis Bledel, Emilia Clarke and Lucy Hale have remained top contenders for the role. Other mentions have been Melissa Benoist, Shailene Woodley, Ellen Page and Ashley Benson.
