"   Ian Somerhalder has stayed schtum for what feels like forever over whether he&amp;#039;s going to play the male lead in the 50 Shades of Grey movie, that is of course until now as he&amp;#039;s finally broken his silence. Although sadly he&amp;#039;s yet to confirm or deny that&amp;#039;s he&amp;#039;s to bring Christian Grey to the silver screen, when asked who he thinks will take on the role Ian teasingly told the Metro: &amp;quot;It could be anyone \u2013 that&amp;#039;s how that goes.&amp;quot;  But ever the professional he refused to show any hint of tiredness at being asked the same questions about the screen adaptation of E.L James&amp;#039; hit novels. The Vampire Diaries star simply said: &amp;quot;One can never get bored of people asking about a huge project, every guy in Hollywood is up for this role.&amp;quot; So we&amp;#039;re still no clearer then! Although there is certainly some development with the movie, Sam Taylor Johnson has been confirmed as the director  The director&amp;#039;s official statement confirmed the news saying: &amp;quot;I am excited to be charged with the evolution of Fifty Shades of Grey from page to screen. For the legions of fans, I want to say that I will honour the power of Erika&amp;#039;s book and the characters of Christian and Anastasia. They are under my skin too.&amp;quot; With the director sorted the grand unveil of the cast has to be coming soon (we hope, make that pray).
