Rumors of Emma Watson entering Christian's Red Room of Pain as Anastasia Steele in the big-screen adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey" have persisted for months (despite the actress' recent Twitter denial). But even we were surprised by Jonah Hill's announcement during Sunday's MTV Movie Awards.
While feting the actress for her Trailblazer honor, the actor dropped this bit of casting news:
"Emma Watson is such a beautiful, lovely, talented, hard-working person. I'm very appreciative to be in her life. That's why I want to take this opportunity to announce officially that we will be starring in the screen adaptation of 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'"
Consider the spark of rebellion lit.
Just when we thought there couldn't be a retelling of "Romeo and Juliet" that we'd love more than Baz Luhrmann's 1996 flick starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, the trailer for Hailee Steinfeld's upcoming version has arrived. Written by "Downton Abbey"'s Julian Fellowes, the new movie features some of our favorite young Hollywood actors and all the angst and drama we've come to love on Julian's hit British TV show.
