'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting News: Alexis Bledel Delighted That Fans Want Her to Play Anastasia Steele

More stars keep attaching themselves to two of the most talked about characters from a novel (except for Bella and Edward): Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey.

"Gilmore Girls" star Alexis Bledel recently acknowledged to her fans on facebook that she was a fan favorite to play Anastasia.

"I see that lots of you wants me to play "Ana" in Fifty Shades of Grey. :)," Bledel wrote on her Twitter page.

Could that smiley face mean that she's happy her fans are all for her being Anastasia?

"Fifty Shades of Grey," written by bestselling author E.L. James, tells the story of 22-year-old recent college grad Anastasia Steele, who enters into a dominant/submissive sexual relationship with 27-year old sexy billionaire Christian Grey, and both explore Christian's world of BDSM (bondage, dominance, submission, masochism).

Bledel, 30, is a fan favorite to play Ana despite maybe being a little too old for the part. One B&R commenter said, "From the dark hair, blue eyes and soft pale skin, Alexis would be perfect to play Anastasia." Another said, "Alexis is perfect for this role....she fits the character of Ana in all ways!!!!"

Movie Pilot described Bledel as a "spot on" resemblance to Anastasia, who has big blue eyes. "Not only is Bledel cute as pie, but she has Ana's sweet and innocent look down pat," Movie Pilot said. "She looks like she can blush and chew her bottom lip with the best of them at the sight of sexy Christian, so we don't care that she's actually 30 years old (if you can believe it). She's our girl!"

FansShare described Bledel with "seductive blue eyes and a stance that binds awkward charm and sex appeal."

"The way Alexis enunciates and expresses herself is also not far from the way intelligent literature graduate Anastasia carries regular conversations."

In a B&R Anastasia Steele poll, Bledel dominates, leaving other favorites like Lucy Hale and Emilia Clarke in the dust.

"Twilight" actress Anna Kendrick recently "hinted" at the coveted role in an interview with Bravo's "What What Happens Live!"

She dodged questions about being attached to "Fifty Shades" and was bashful when a viewer's question caught her off guard.

Recent reports suggest that author James has been eyeing "The Descendants" actress Shailene Woodley to play Anastasia.

Woodley, 20, who played George Clooney's daughter in "The Descendants," has allegedly "caught the eye" of James because of her acting in the Oscar-nominated film.

So Books & Reviewer's, how do you feel about Alexis Bledel acknowledging to her fans about being in the "Ana" spotlight? Is she your favorite star to play the crucial role? Comment below!
