Fifty Shades of Bret Easton Ellis

In early June, Bret Easton Ellis began campaigning via Twitter for the screenwriting job for "Fifty Shades of Grey." As of July 18, no writer has been confirmed. So there's still a chance! On another positive note for Bret, E. L. James has not filed a restraining order either.

I'm putting myself out there to write the movie adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey"...

Okay. Today the team has been briefed and we will be approaching the studio this week about BEE adapting "Fifty Shades of Grey" into a film.

Completely committed to adapting Fifty Shades of Grey. This is not a joke. Christian Grey and Ana: potentially great cinematic characters.

Contacted my agent about adapting "Fifty Shades of Grey" and have heard nothing back. But it's a Saturday and Gay Pride, so: understandable.

Fifty Shades of Grey. Okay, back to the matter at hand. Who should play Christian? Who should play Ana? Re-following E.L. James.

Fifty Shades of Grey: what are your thoughts on the e-mail exchanges? Should they be texting instead or is the e-mailing working for you?

Hope E.L. James doesn't think I'm being a prankster. I really want to adapt her novels for the screen. Christian Grey is a writer's dream...

The casting of Christian in "Fifty Shades of Grey" wouldn't be up to me but I have certain actors in mind. And a particular actress for Ana.

I know Ian Somerhalder and how kinky he can be and yes, he's probably Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey, and he will go all-out for it.

@iansomerhalder I'm glad you're as excited by the prospect of "Fifty Shades of Grey" as I am. (I've heard that Angelina is not involved...)

Everywhere I go women come up to me asking about Fifty Shades of Grey. I just tell them I want to make the movie even more sexually intense.

Any ideas for songs/scoring over Fifty Shades of Grey? Right now I kind of like the idea of EMA...

Fifty Shades of Grey: thoughts on Ana's inner goddess monologues? I'm getting a lot of negative feedback on those. For the movie: yes or no?

Just found out from a casting director that Edward Norton will NEVER work on anything associated with Bret Easton Ellis. I'm wondering why.
