Emma Watson Denies '50 SHADES' Casting Rumors on Twitter

BWW reported last week that Emma Watson may have been officially confirmed to star in the upcoming film adaptation of the bestselling novel 50 SHADES OF GREY. According to an article on Digitalspy.com, a group of online hackers known collectively as 'Anonymous' hacked their way into the internal server of German studio Constantin film, and leaked several documents, including one relating to the highly anticipated adaptation from Focus Features.

Watson was reportedly set to star as lead character Ana Steele, described as the "naive college student in a relationship with sexually sadistic billionaire ChristIan Grey."

Now the 'Harry Potter' star has taken to Twitter to respond to false rumors of her casting. "Who here actually thinks I would do 50 Shades of Grey as a movie? Like really. For real. In real life," Watson tweeted Saturday.

She later added, "Good. Well that's sorted then."

Watson will next be seen on the big screen in 'The Bling Ring' a film based on actual events about a group of teenagers who stole more $3 million worth of high-end designer jewelry from celebrities inclucing Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge, Rachel Bilson, Orlando Bloom, Miranda Kerr, Brian Austin Green, Megan Fox and Lindsay Lohan.
