My pic makes the rounds…

I don’t know about the rest of the world but it is BUZZING here in Australia as we hold our breath for our first glimpse of Mr Grey….

The Laters Baby UK facebook site posted this about the timing of the trailer:

Also, she was kind enough to pick up my pic:

    Coolness. You are famous! And I don’t know how much the US is buzzing in general – but I certainly am and the internet is! I have NEVER seen this much of a buildup for a trailer debut. Can. Not. Wait.

        It’s a given. Just remember us little people when they start making your book into a movie. 😉 I want to audition the actors for the proper amount of stud appeal.

    Oh Monique you are making me laugh, every time I get an email through it seems to be a post from you with an update on the trailer 🙂
    To be honest I’m not a bit interested in the trailer or the film, I just can’t get behind the actors they have chosen!

      Oh no, Katherine! I still have hope…. I think I’m desperate for them to wow me but the expectations are sooooo high, I would almost be surprised if we all end up loving the movie. Truly though, do you think there’s a man alive that could live up to the Christian in our minds?

        I agree with you that no man will live up to our Christian but I think that they could have made more of an effort getting the right actors.
        I feel bad that I can’t take to Jamie he is from my home town so i should be supporting him but just can’t and as for Dakota? OMFG i don’t see how we are to believe that she is wanted by every man who meets her?
        Sorry but not feeling it.
        I read FSOG so many times but like Mercia I don’t think ill go to see the film but I’m enjoying your excitement lol

          I can understand that you feel that way, Katherine, especially considering the parade of hunky chunks of men we poured over before the cast was finalized. I reserve judgement on Dakota but I tend to agree with you. The only thing that can save it, in my opinion, is if they really spark on screen and that their indelible, new, fragile love comes across.

    I don’t think I am alone in saying, I loved the books. My local library got me interested in FSoG . I have also listened to the audio books, but when it comes to a movie, I’m not interested in any way. The pictures I have in my head of any of the characters in FSoG , will never relate to what I see on the screen.
    I hope, for E L James sake, the movie is a success , but I won’t hold my breath on that.

      But isn’t that just that magic of a book? That YOU can mold it just how you like, see it through your own desires and perceptions, truly making it your own? No movie, no matter how good, can ever live up to the canvas in your mind 🙂

    Mercia, I agree that we all have our personal visions, the movie will not be the books, they can’t do them as written. I hope they capture the love story every FF fan has sought out more of. I have high hopes, but not high expectations. Can’t not see it, have invested too much time and love in this Trilogy not to give it a chance. Looking forward to the trailer tomorrow!!! Liz

    Omg we are waiting so patiently. Hope it lives up to all our expectations although I have my reservations but I will still see the movie because it is the characters that we all fell in love with. Maybe one day we will get to see the movie of your story Monique
