Bret Easton Ellis Wants To Write The 50 Shades Of Grey Movie!
No way. No EFFING way.
This could be terrifying. And also absolutely PERFECT!
When author Bret Easton Ellis, of American Psycho and Rules of Attraction fame, isn't taking cracks at Glee in the most offensive ways possible on his Twitter page, he apparently is using the social media platform to let the world know he wants to adapt the Twilight fanfic-turned pop culture phenomenon 50 Shades Of Grey!
Yeah. We couldn't make this shiz up if we tried!
I'm putting myself out there to write the movie adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey"…

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

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…

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

Seriously, though…can anyone deny how horrifically right up his alley this book series is for him?
In fact, he could probably give the story a lot more depth and style!
AND perversion! Ha!
Hey! Stranger things have happened!
What do U think?? Is Bret Easton Ellis the man for the job??

Ready For A Tease Of Katy Perry's New Music Video?!
He is the perfect choice for the adaptation. AMAZING!!
wtf? what a sellout..
I think that Chris Hemsworth should play the role of 50 Shades of Grey.
I think the person playing Christian has to be Smoldering hot! And this guy just aint it.
Re: Melissa – This guy won't PLAY CG. He wants to WRITE the adaptation. Sheesh!
