In less than one year, E.L. James' erotic film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey" will hit movie theaters worldwide - and fans CAN NOT wait to see which lucky pair will be cast as kinky, S&M-inspired lovers Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. Such hot-and-steamy casting rumors continue gaining speed on the web while James and producers resiliently remain hush-hush. So now, introducing two NEW Mr. Grey and Miss Steele fan-favorites... "Sons of Anarchy" hottie Charlie Hunnam and "Social Network" beauty Dakota Johnson! Crazy, right? But the sexy pairing just might work!

According to Twitch, Universal Studios is "pinning for" 33-year-old Hunnam to land the highly-coveted role of the "handsome, yet tormented billionaire" Christian Grey. Apparently, producers have secretly chosen the "Pacific Rim" heartthrob as the film's "prime target." Do fans agree?

Hunnam definitely has dominant sex appeal (with that mysterious, "bad boy" edge) - but is he a little too rugged for the part of Ana Steele's seductive lover?

As for 23-year-old Dakota Johnson starring as the sweet-and-innocent Anastasia Steele...

 

Now picture her as a brunette... do fans dig it?

The Wrap "confirms" that along with Hunnam, producers are also "eyeing up" the stunning "Ben & Kate" starlet for the role of Christian Grey's kinky lover. Johnson's an aspiring model-turned-actress who just might have the perfect qualities James is looking for in Miss Steele. Johnson sharred a love scene in "The Social Network" alongside Justin Timberlake, so that gives her some extra goodie points:

So forget about Matt Bomer, Alexis Bledel, Ian Somerhalder, and Emilia Clarke (if that's even possible)... what about Hunnam and Johnson starring as Mr. Grey and Miss Steele onscreen lovers? Dish it out in the comments below!
