Mila Kunis, who has often been mentioned as a potential lead for the adaptation of E.L. James's "Fifty Shades of Grey," told The Sun website that she would like to play heroine Anastasia Steele.

The "Black Swan" actress wants to play the virgin 21-year-old graduate who embarks on a sadomasochistic relationship with domineering billionaire Christian Grey.

Mila Kunis is one of the actresses regularly mentioned by the press as a potential choice. Emma Watson ("Harry Potter"), Shailene Woodley ("The Descendants"), Katie Cassidy ("Gossip Girl") and Emma Roberts ("Scream 4") have also been mentioned.

So far, rumors for the part of Christian Grey have circulated about Ryan Gosling ("Drive") and Aaron Johnson ("Savages").

Kelly Marcel, the "Terra Nova" scriptwriter, will adapt "Fifty Shades of Grey" for Universal Pictures and Focus Features. No director has yet been attached to the film, although Angelina Jolie's name was mentioned last fall.

The three-part sadomasochistic erotic novel has sold over 65 million copies worldwide.
