The actors who are fairly new comers and aren’t as popular as Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart from ‘Twilight Saga’.
Dakota Johnson is best remembered for her performance in ‘The Social Network’ with Justin Timberlake and ‘The Five Year Engagement’ and ’21 Jump Steet’ whilst Charlie Hunnam was recently seen in ‘Pacific Rim’.
It was also speculated that Emma Watson was initially supposed to play Anastasia Steele.
‘Fifty Shades Trilogy’ will be produced Focus Features and Universal Studios and will hit theatres next August 2014.
It will be exciting to see if Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson manage to live up to all the hype and stand as tall as their fellow star couples.
