Apparently, hackers over at the infamous hacktivist group Anonymous have managed to find evidence that Anastasia Steele fan-favorite Emma Watson was officially cast in E.L. James' highly-anticipated film adoption of "Fifty Shades of Grey!" According to several recent reports, the tech-nerd "outlaws" of Anonymous recently broke into the database of the German movie studio Constantin. The hackers allegedly acquired tons of secret information about several upcoming film projects... including Focus Features' "Fifty Shades of Grey." The group claims that they are able to confirm the long-standing casting rumors surrounding Anastasia Steele - Christian Grey's "young and innocent" mistress will be played by the 22-year-old "Harry Potter" starlet, Emma Watson!

Anonymous could just be lying for some publicity, but the notorious hackers group is known for their successful exploits against several big-name celebrities (including Beyonce, Tiger Woods, and Kanye West) as well as the German copyright protections group, GVU. In a tweet sent out after the hack, Anonymous boasts:

"Fu## the Copyright Lobby and content mafia, Fu## the GVU, RIP drei.bz."

Anonymous managed to publish "internal documents" with information on several films in development that Constantin is considering for acquisition. One of those films included "Fifty Shades of Grey." Although such documents didn't go into much detail, members of the group insist that Watson has secured the role of Miss. Steele.

If the rumors are true, are "Fifty Shades" fans happy?

Watson has remained a top Anastasia Steele fan-favorite ever since "Fifty Shades" casting rumors began swirling on the web earlier last year. As Mstars originally reported:

Emma Watson still reigns supreme in several recentMstarz casting polls... and it turns out the fresh-faced starlet already has some experience in the seductive world of BDSM. Well, sort of. In the 2012 teen drama "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," Watson reenacts a scene from the cult classic "Rocky Horror Picture Show"... which means she had to perform a striptease in some skimpy lingerie. Check it out:

And now there's Waton's "bad girl" role in Sofia Coppola's "Bling Ring," where she plays Rachel Lee - the hot, popular, mischievous, and cunning ring leader of the "Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch." Check out the recently-released trailer here:

So what do "Fifty Shades" fans think? Does Watson's innocent and cute persona mixed with this new rebellious and sexy attitude make her a worthy Anastasia Steele? Apparently, Watson would love to take on the kinky role if she were cast opposite Ryan Gosling as Christian Grey...

Recently, Watson turned down a role to star in Disney's upcoming live-action remake of "Cinderella"... is it because the British starlet wants to focus on her kinky Anastasia Steele counterpart, instead? Is Watson ready to leave her "good girl" days behind in order to enter Christian Grey's Red Room of Pain? More importantly - do fans THINK that she's ready to take that next bold step in her career?

According to Anonymous, it's already been done.

Constantin recently confirmed it had been hacked but downplayed the action to THR, claiming that the documents stolen were out of date and widely accessible to many Constantin employees. As of nows, rumors are still just that... rumors. Sources close to the situation tell Gossip Cop that Watson may only be on the studio's wish list. A director still hasn't been named for the film, so finalized casting is still probably a ways off.

But what do Mstars readers think, are the Emma Watson and official Anastasia Steele casting rumors true?
