'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting: Top Six Contenders for Anastasia Steele Include Emilia Clarke, Alexis Bledel, Alexandra Daddario (POLL)

Fans are shouting out their favorite stars to play Anastasia Steele, and it has become a pool of names.

Books & Review decided to create a poll on the six most favorite stars who have been linked to the key role of Anastasia.

The steamy "Fifty Shades" trilogy ("Fifty Shades of Grey," "Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed") tells the story of 22-year-old recent college grad Anastasia Steele, who enters into a dominant/submissive sexual relationship with 27-year old sexy billionaire Christian Grey and both explore the world of BDSM (bondage, dominance, submission, masochism) while also trying to figure out their relationship.

The six favorite stars for Anastasia are "Games of Thrones" Emilia Clarke, "Gilmore Girls" Alexis Bledel, "Pretty Little Liars" Lucy Hale, "Harry Potter" Emma Watson, "Percy Jackson & the Olympians" Alexandra Daddario, and "Twilight" Ashley Greene.

Here's a little description of the six top contenders:

Ashley Greene, 25

Greene recently said that she read the steamy "Fifty Shades" books.

"I feel like I kind of had to, it's now pop culture and they're making it into a film. I'm not finished with all of them, but I'm on the third book."

According to the Examiner, Greene could definitely play the part.

"Greene certainly has the beautiful, wide-eyed looks and innocent nature needed for the part," the website said.

One Books & Review commenter said, "Ashley Greene is definitely the on to play Anastasia...I am so surprised they have not found her yet."

Alexis Bledel, 30

This actress recently acknowledged her fans on Twitter who want her to play Ana.

"I see that lots of you wants me to play "Ana" in Fifty Shades of Grey. :)," Bledel wrote on her Twitter page. She won a past B&R poll, and is a big fan favorite.

Although some might say she is too old for the role, many think she is perfect.

FansShare describe Bledel with "seductive blue eyes and a stance that binds awkward charm and sex appeal."

"The way Alexis enunciates and expresses herself is also not far from the way intelligent literature graduate Anastasia carries regular conversations."

Movie Pilot describes Bledel as a "spot on" resemblance to Anastasia, who has big blue eyes. "Not only is Bledel cute as pie, but she has Ana's sweet and innocent look down pat," Movie Pilot said. "She looks like she can blush and chew her bottom lip with the best of them at the sight of sexy Christian, so we don't care that she's actually 30 years old (if you can believe it). She's our girl!"

Emilia Clarke, 25

Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryan in "Game of Thrones" is another fan favorite.

TheStir.CafeMom.com said that casting Clarke would be a great idea:

"The 25-year-old actress, who's a natural brunette, definitely has the right look. She's both innocent and sweet yet has the potential to be extremely badass. And speaking of asses, she has absolutely no problem with nudity, as she had multiple sex scenes with her on-screen husband. Needless to say, her body is smokin'!"

Gather Entertainment also described Clarke as "intriguing" and that she might be a better fit for the role because of her experience with darker themes explored in "Games of Thrones."

"The naturally brunette beauty has done nude scenes on the show; she's the right age for the role; and her face seems perfect for the part - at times she can look a bit awkward and silly, but she can also look rather sensual."

Lucy Hale, 23

The actress has read the "Fifty Shades" books, and she also hinted that she would be up for a role like Anastasia.

"I definitely am ready to take a step and do something a bit more risky, absolutely, but it's a fine line," she told MTV News. "I don't know what that fine line is, but I'm definitely ready to explore a darker side of my acting abilities."

Books & Review fans also agreed she could play Anastasia. One commenter said, "I could definitely see Lucy as Ana. She has to be young, naive, demure. I see it definitely."

Alexandra Daddario, 26

Daddario has recently become a fan favorite.

The actress was featured on Radar Online's "5 Faves for '50 Shades of Grey'" list to play Anastasia Steele. The website said, "The Percy Jackson starlet nails Ana's mix of innocence and curiosity."

Daddario is also pinned on Pinterest as a popular choice for the role. One viewer said, "Her + Matt Bomer is perfect!"

One Books & Review commenter said, "I think Alexandra Daddario is the perfect Ana. She has the long brown hair, alabaster skin, blue eyes too big for her face & pouty lips. She has an innocent beauty requiring no makeup & can be played up sexy when need be."

Emma Watson, 22

This actress has gained a lot of momentum for the role of Ana. She recently denied rumors that she was in talks with producers for the coveted role, but many fans still want her to do it.

According to People Magazine, Watson, 22, is said to be an "obvious choice" to play Ana. She has played the awkward, doesn't-know-she's-gorgeous role before.

Celebs.gather.com said "Emma Watson is perfect for the role." She has a persona of a naïve virgin.

"Emma, like Anastasia, is, despite her youth, at a crossroads in her life. Steele is a clueless virgin "ushered into a strange world of sex when she meets Christian Grey, [who] beyond just yielding control of her body to this man...is also a woman navigating a crisis of identity." Watson is a woman reportedly eager to leave her childhood career behind her and emerge as an actress who can carry a "grown-up film," according to Celebs.gather.com.

So Books & Reviewer's, which of these top six favorite stars can play the virginal recent college grad with a very outspoken "inner goddess?" VOTE NOW!
