Gnome News – Week of 9/8

It was another week of not-so-eventful film news.  Unless, I guess, you like terrible things.

So, speaking of terrible things, 50 Shades of Grey has become one step closer to becoming a reality.  Dakota Johnson (The Social Network) has been cast as the weak, one-dimensional female lead that will surely attempt to set Hollywood’s view of women back a century or so.  Meanwhile, Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) will play a muscular body that will make Dakota Johnson’s “character” weak in the knees or something.  I really have no idea what this film is about.  Going off the title, I’m just going to pretend it’s a sequel to Pleasantville.
