The 50 Shades of Grey movie has inspired lots of avid Fifty fans to try their hand at creating sexy trailers for the film, but a YouTube video featuring Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale and The Vampire Diaries actor Ian Somerhalder might be one of the best yet.
The clip in question is a mere 30 seconds long, but the video quality is much better than that of some of the other fan-made trailers. The song selection is also sexy, and the clips of Ian and Lucy that are used are perfect.
The teaser trailer begins with a shot of Lucy looking over her shoulder superimposed over a shot of the Seattle skyline. There are then scenes of Ian getting all dolled up in a nice suit; Lucy looking longingly at a shirtless lover; and a quick shot of a bare-chested Ian. And of course there are the obligatory shots of whips, bondage, and panty-dropping.
However, the trailer almost feels like it was made more for a TV series than a movie, not that many 50 Shades of Grey fans would have a problem with getting to see a hot actor like Ian Somerhalder as Christian Grey once a week. In fact, there are some Fifty fans that have expressed their belief that a TV series would have worked better for the 50 Shades books than a movie. And when it comes to the favorites for Christian, TV actors do seem to have more fans – just like Ian, White Collar star Matt Bomer has inspired women to campaign for him to get the part.
But who knows? If a movie actor like Ryan Gosling or Henry Cavill beats out Ian and Matt Bomer for the role of Christian in the movie, perhaps one of the TV actors can score the part in the 50 Shades TV remake.
