All hail Emma Watson. The erstwhile Hermione Granger took to Twitter on Saturday night to dispel any notion that she might star in the upcoming adaptation of the S&M novel "Fifty Shades Of Grey," and did it with style:
@EmWatson Emma Watson Who here actually thinks I would do 50 Shades of Grey as a movie? Like really. For real. In real life.
@EmWatson Emma Watson Good. Well that's that sorted then.
Smiley face emoticon, Indeed. The latest rumor about Watson playing Anastasia Steele in the big screen take on E L James' popular novel trilogy sprouted up thanks to a Twitter account with possible ties to the hacker-activist group Anonymous. The Twitter handle posted documents stolen from German film studio Constanin that mentioned the 22-year-old actress as possible star. (Gossip Cop debunked that claim, noting that Watson is only on the producers' wish list.)
This isn't the first time Watson has been rumored for "Fifty Shades of Grey." The idea that she could star in the film first began circulating last summer, but Watson was quick to shoot the reports down.
"I haven't read the book, I haven't a read a script, nothing," Watson told EW.com in July of 2012. "There are so many movies you become attached to when I've literally never even received a phone call. It was the same way with 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' –- I never even saw a script!"
For now, "Fifty Shades of Grey" remains without a leading actor, actress or director. Universal and Focus Features hope to release the film during the summer of 2014, however, so expect some movement on those fronts soon. For what it's worth, screenwriter Kelly Marcel said earlier this year that she felt the film would receive an NC-17 rating.

Copper hair, strong build, steely gray eyes ... Armie Hammer would make the perfect Christian Grey. He's 25, just the right age to pull off 27-year-old Grey's air of success and boyish charm, and he can go from serious and sexy smirk in a second.
Backups: Ryan Gosling, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Henry Cavill
Olsen breakout role in "Martha Marcy May Marlene" proved she can play frightened and confused like a pro. But it's her piercing blue eyes that seal the deal -- darken her hair a few shades, and she is not-so-innocent recent college grad Ana.
Backups: Dakota Fanning, Saoirse Ronan, Alexis Bledel, Emma Stone
Ana's inquisitive roommate Kate has strawberry blonde hair and a fierce attitude. Wood often plays older than her 24 years, but would make a believable mature recent college grad with sex appeal.

Young photographer and college student Jose adores Ana and desperately wants to be more than just friends, but the arrival of Christian Grey solidifies his place as a pal. "The Vampire Diaries'" Trevino has proven he can play tortured, and his good looks make him a nice threat for Mr. Grey.

Ana's stepdad Ray is ex-military and likes the simpler things in life, like baseball and fishing, but he's got a soft spot for his little girl. Ray's role isn't huge, but Keaton could easily pull off playing the reserved, protective pop.
Backups: Ed Harris, Bryan Cranston, Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Ana's mom Carla is a hopeless romantic, but also fairly unlucky in love. Ray was her second husband who Ana stayed to live with when she ran off with #3. Now on #4, she's hoping her daughter won't make the same mistakes.

Jose's dad and Ana's dad Ray were old army buddies, reunited when their kids became friends at college. Jose Sr. also desperately wants Ana and his son to get together, and Smits can play convincing in his sleep.

Christian's mother Grace -- a pediatrician who adopted him at the age of 4 -- is smart, sweet and very high society. Sullivan's poise would be perfect, but it's her ability to play sadness and fierce maternal instincts that would come in handy.
Backups: Susan Sarandon, Joan Allen
Carrick is a successful lawyer and businessman who makes his family's best interests a top priority. He's soft spoken, but still has presence -- Skarsgard's soulful eyes would definitely come in handy for the more emotional moments.

Backups: James Marsden, Zach Gilford

Backups: Cybill Shepherd, Jane Seymour, Julie Andrews
Christian's Mrs. Robinson -- the woman who welcomed him into the kinky world of BDSM at a very young age -- needs to be a predator, but still sexy in her older age. Sharon Stone fits the bill.
