Jolie heard about the coveted role while on location in the U.K. where she is filming “Maleficent.”

A source told the Daily Record, “All the girls on set were talking about it and chatted about how it’s being made into a film. Angelina went out and bought herself a copy, thinking she’d love a part in the hot topic on everyone’s lips at the moment. She knows it’s bound to be a huge hit.”

Jolie may run into a few obstacles if she pursues the part. For one thing, Angie’s 37 while Anastasia is a college student. She will also need to overcome her wild reputation, which includes bondage and drug rumors.

“Angie is dead set that she wants to have a major part in it and the demure girl is the only main female lead,” the insider revealed. “She’s up for the challenge.”

Lies! Who would possibly believe this? Just more "sources" spouting their mouths off. She was never into ingenue roles when she was a younger woman, why would she want this? I call bs!

She's more ''Mrs. Robinson'' in Fifty Shades. She'd be good in that role. She is so not right for Ana. Makes me wonder if she's really even read the books. She could also direct the film maybe. There was some buzz about that a while back.

Angelique Jolie would be a HUGE miscast....sorry but she's too old! The character is college age...Whoever makes this movie..DO NOT take liberities of straying too far from the books!! And I would think books outselling Harry Potter reinforces that immenseley!I can't wait for the movie but will not waste my time or money not some overly rewritten film...or one that has casted for names alone! C'mon Hollywood..lets get this right:)

I love Angelina, but she's to old to play Anna. Anna is fresh, innocent and young. Angelina just doesn't fit the part. Like I said, I love her. But this just isn't the part for her.
