Will Stephen Amell Play Christian Grey?

By
Who is going to play Christian Grey? It looks like Stephen Amell knows a bit more about that than we do.

With a film version of E.L. James' sexy best seller "50 Shades Of Grey" in development at Universal, fan have been spending a lot of time speculating who will star in the steamy drama. And while Emma Watson has been getting just plain ornery about reports she'll be playing Anastasia Steele, another actor has just dropped some pretty serious hints that he's in the running to play the mysterious Christian Grey.

Stephen Amell, best known for playing the title role in the TV series "Arrow," has been getting some buzz as a potential Mr. Grey, and he addressed the rumors in a video he posted on his Facebook page.

"I get questions about Christian Grey all the time," Amell said in the video. "That project is a long way off. I know this ... because I had a meeting about it. LONG way off. I mean, not THAT long. But not close. I wouldn't call it long. But I wouldn't call it close."

VOTE for Sandwichjohnfilms on this years KCRA 3 A-List.

So to take Amell at his word, he's in talks to play Grey, and he knows the timeline of the project. This could mean any number of things, but while plenty of actors have been rumored to be on the short list for the part - including Ryan Gosling (who was said to be the favorite by James' husband), Ian Somerhalder, Alexander Skarsgard, and Chris Pine - Amell is the first one to confirm he's actually taken a meeting about the role.

And when a reporter asked Amell about the casting rumors last fall, he replied, "I mean if you think about it, it would be four movies, the last part being two parts. I don't even own a house yet. So I don't think that I'd be turning that down any time soon." Since knowing the third book will be filmed in two parts isn't quite common knowledge, this suggests Amell has some inside knowledge the average fan does not.

The hunky Canadian actor has a bit of experience with sexy roles, having appeared in recurring roles on the cables series "Hung" and "Queer As Folk." He also popped up as Kyle on "New Girl," Scott Becker on "Private Practice" and Nick Harwell on "Heartland" before landing his current role on "Arrow." And to take him at his word, he's not adverse to booking some more work, so maybe we'll see him getting kinky when the movie opens, possibly as soon as the summer of 2014.

Rivals in power and in love, and female monarchs in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence.

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert?

By
Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
