The first Fifty Shades Of Grey poster was revealed today by Universal. It shows Jamie Dornan as billionaire-hunk-of-man-meat-industrialist Christian Grey, gazing out across a cityscape.
It also serves as a friendly reminder of the worldwide release date, Valentine’s Day 2015. Nothing says ‘Valentine’s Day’ like a movie about a some good old fashioned S&M.
How suggestive.
The film adaption of the E. L. James novel has had a tumultuous past, with Charlie Hunnam bailing on the lead role, citing ‘scheduling difficulties’. Which, we’ve heard, is a polite way of saying ‘fan backlash’. Recent rumors around the production have also indicated there might be tension between the author and director Sam Taylor-Johnson over creative differences.
“E.L. James wants the movie to match the book exactly, but Sam has a different perspective. Sam is reminding E.L. she writes books and she makes movies. This has caused some tension between the two of them.”
Well, at least the poster looks good.
