Fifty Shades of Grey is slated to hit theaters on Feb. 13, 2015.
I had absolutely zero interest in this movie but I'll definitely check out her scenes at least, to see how good an actress she is. We really have absolutely nothing to go on, she must have had to audition! This is so cool!
First music, then fashion, now film. If she does dance next, she'll be a quadruple threat!
People acting as though she was cast in a movie that's gonna be Oscar nominated
It will be interesting nevertheless, i want to see her with short black hair.
