Charlie Hunnam famous for his role as Jax Teller in, “Sons Of Anarchy” was signed to play Christian Grey for the “50 Shades of Grey” film at first but now he bailed out due to conflicts with the script against the studio. Charlie is now in a heated feud against Universal Studios over creative differences of the script for the big screen “50 Shades” movie. Hunnam complained to the studio about the script by sending them extensive notes to the studio about the script which the studio took positively. Hunnam who is a screenwriter himself requested further script approval but was denied by the studio… this led to a heated feud.
Universal hired another writer for re-writes but Hunnam bailed out of the movie the next day.

So Charlie bailed out ’cause he didn’t like the script? Well, that’s no surprise ’cause I had a feeling that was coming. Too predictable. I give Charlie kudos for being real and honest, though. I wish Universal luck for finding their leading male star for this film ’cause I’m feeling that a lot of other actors are not gonna like the script either. Women may like the book but from a guy’s perspective — they would have different feelings on “50 Shades”. It doesn’t matter how many times Universal rewrites the movie, it’s going to suck no matter what. If the book sucked… expect the movie to be the same. Charlie was only offered $125,000 anyway so for a movie star… that’s not enough if you think about it. Especially a big film like this with all the sex scenes and stuff.
