Charlie Hunnam has had to pull out of the title role in Fifty Shades of Grey and that's thrown the movie into turmoil.
"The filmmakers of Fifty Shades of Grey and Charlie Hunnam have agreed to find another male lead given Hunnam's immersive TV schedule which is not allowing him time to adequately prepare for the role of Christian Grey," the two studios behind the film version of the erotic thriller said in a surprise announcement on Saturday.
