(CBS News) Emma Watson is clearing up rumors that she is attached to play Anastasia Steele in the film adaptation of the wildly popular erotic novel "Fifty Shades of Grey."

The British actress told Entertainment Weekly, "I haven't read the book, I haven't read a script, nothing."

The actress continued, telling EW, "There are so many movies you become attached to when I've literally never even received a phone call. It was the same way with 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' - I never even saw a script!"

Watson's new film "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" hits theaters in the fall, and she recently wrapped filming Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring." The 22-year-old is currently working on Darren Aronofsky's "Noah."

Alex. Pettyfer. Is. Christian. Grey. I'm more convinced than ever after seeing him in Magic Mike. Also, Kate Mara should play Ana. Check out Kate's performance in American Horror Story season one for proof.
