We, like everyone else in America, are anxiously awaiting casting news regarding E. L. James' erotic trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey -- and while Emma Watson just took herself out of the running for Anastasia Steele (Watson tweeted this weekend: "Who here actually thinks I would do 50 Shades of Grey as a movie? Like really. For real. In real life"), she still tops our dream-casting list! Click the pics to see our suggestions as to what stars would make a great Christian Grey and Anastasia in this highly anticipated book-turned-movie!

Anastasia: Alexis Bledel

From goody-two-shoes teen Rory Gilmore on Gilmore Girls to a mentally ill cheating housewife on Mad Men, Alexis Bledel has already flipped Hollywood's perception of her on the small screen. This starlet definitely brings the wide-eyed innocence required for the role, but has demonstrated that she can also believably go to darker places.

Christian: Chris Pine

Chris Pine told Celebuzz.com of the erotic project, "If it's a good script, I'd take a look at it." The actor can definitely deliver one of Christian's smoldering gazes, and the intensity of those eyes seal the deal.

Anastasia: Leighton Meester

After her slightly pseudo-masochistic relationship with Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl, she can pull off being on the receiving end of a controlling relationship.

Christian: Henry Cavill

Superman Henry Cavill should get a shot at the role, if only because Christian Grey is frequently described as being the most handsome man on the planet. This former Tudors star definitely comes as close as possible to fitting that bill.

Anastasia: Emilia Clarke

Anastasia is an inexperienced young girl who gets involved with a dangerous older man -- sound familiar, Game of Thrones fans? Emilia has just the right blend of innocence and subtle beauty to pull off Anastasia.

Christian- Ryan Gosling

A bit of a dark horse, Ryan Gosling may not be as classically handsome as Christian Grey, but he sure can pull off the intensity required for the role -- and he looks great in a suit.

Anastasia: Lucy Hale

Getty Images
The Pretty Little Liars star has said that she's interested in the role, and she definitely looks the part.

Christian- Ian Somerhalder

Getty Images
Like his real-life girlfriend and on-screen love interest Nina Dobrev, Ian can pull from his Vampire Diaries experience, having already mastered the dastardly-but-charming routine as Damon Salvatore. Plus, he's been very vocal about his interest in the role, so we know he's up for the challenge.

Anastasia: Amanda Seyfried

Amanda Seyfried can definitely play innocent as is evidenced by numerous credits on her resume, but she can also be naughty as well (i.e. Lovelace and Chloe). As for her acting level, she can definitely go toe-to-toe with Michael Fassbender or Ryan Gosling.

Christian: Matt Bomer

Check out Matt Bomer in a suit on White Collar. 'Nuff said.

Anastasia: Nina Dobrev

It's not exactly a leap to imagine Nina in the role, as she has already perfected the innocent-young-girl-who-gets-involved-with-a-dangerous-element on The Vampire Diaries.

Christian: Michael Fassbender

Getty Images
Michael Fassbender has already played a domineering, wealthy man who falls in love with a subordinate, innocent young girl -- yes, we mean Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre -- so it's not a stretch to imagine him donning one of Christian's Grey's linen shirts. Let's also not forget his critically acclaimed role in the NC-17 film Shame.
