The casting director of "Fifty Shades Darker" has a daunting task of searching for an actress who can embody the roles of Elena Lincoln aka Mrs. Robinson and Leila Williams. In the sequel to "Fifty Shades of Grey," these two new characters together with the much talked about Jack Hyde will play an important and pivotal role in the continuation of the history of Christian Grey and his budding relationship with Anastasia Steele, who will also examine her feelings about the predicament she has gotten herself into.
Here's 7 Hollywood A-listers who can rock Christian Grey's BDSM mentor.
Angelina Jolie — this sultry actress needs no introduction and explanation on why she could give justice to Elena Lincoln. The voluptuous lips says it all.
2. Sharon Stone — does “Basic Instinct” ring a bell? “Fifty Shades Darker” would of course eventually have flashbacks of Christian Grey being the submissive. The beautiful actress needs no training in the art of exuding seductiveness and domination plus her trademark platinum blonde hair earns her a point, as per IMDb.
3. Kate Winslet — best known for her role as Rose in “Titanic,” the award-winning actress may have some free time to go onboard as Christian Grey’s BDSM mentor since, as per IMDb, she has wrapped up “Insurgent” and “Triple 9” which she co-stars with Gal Gadot and Aaron Paul.
4. Diane Lane — the “Unfaithful” star can still rock it despite playing Martha Kent in “Man of Steel.”
5. Demi Moore — although not platinum blonde (she would still look good though), the “Striptease” actress exudes elegance which is one of the requirements to be Elena Lincoln.
6. Cate Blanchett — speaking of regal and statuesque as a prerequisite for the role, the blue-eyed, blonde haired actress has had lot of experience in portraying diverse roles, as per IMDb, such as Queen Elizabeth in “Elizabeth: The Golden Age,” Galadriel in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy and as the wicked stepmother in “Cinderella.”
7. Michelle Pfeiffer — is a vision in all black as a Dominatrix — remember her as Catwoman in the 1992 movie “Batman Returns?” Meoow!
Meanwhile young and upcoming stars such as Kendall Jenner from the famous Kardashian clan, “The Vampire Diaries” alum Nina Dobrev and “Mortal Instrument: City of Bones” star Lily Collins might be a shoo-in and can pull off Leila Williams’ role, Christian Grey’s former submissive.
Fans of “Fifty Shades Darker” who await news about the movie’s plot and how it would differ from that of the book will have to wait for fresh updates. Movie Pilot has reported that the sequel may seize the idea of having Jaime Dornan and Dakota Johnson’s characters engage in longer sex scenes.
Although according to Fashion & Style, “Fifty Shades Darker” lengthening and intensifying the sexual encounters between Christian and Anastasia could likely give the film a rating of R-18 or NC-17, which could create an impact in the take for general box office. “Fifty Shades of Grey” got an R rating when it was released this year.
