Alexander Skarsgard of the supernatural-themed HBO television seriesTrue Blood and Jamie Dornan of Belfast-set BBC drama The Fall are the new frontrunners to replace Charlie Hunnam in Sam Taylor-Johnson'sFifty Shades of Grey, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Hunnam, star of the TV show Sons of Anarchy and action blockbuster Pacific Rim, quit the mega-hyped adaptation of EL James' bestselling literary sensation at the weekend,citing scheduling conflicts. His departure has thrown the project, which is due for release in just nine months time, into crisis territory.
Skarsgard, son of Stellan, plays vampire Eric Northman in True Blood. Dornan stars as serial killer Paul Spector in The Fall. Both are up for the role of Christian Grey, the kinky billionaire who recruits blushing virgin Anastasia Steele to be his well-remunerated sex-slave in James' novels.
