#FIRSTLOOK: OFFICIAL “FIFTY SHADES OF GREY” TRAILER

We saw a quick Teaser a few months back, but this brand-new Trailer for FIFTY SHADES OF GREY actually looks quite compelling! Dark, sexy, suspenseful, elegant – we knew Sam Taylor-Johnson would get the tone right.  And well she did, especially considering how easily parodied the subject matter is…

See the sizzling new Trailer:

#FIRSTLOOK: CHARLIE HUNNAM & DAKOTA JOHNSON CAST IN “50 SHADES OF GREY”

He’s been touted as a Breakout Star for a while now, but make no mistake – Charlie Hunnam has been in the game for a while and will be for a long time.  We just received news earlier today that the British Star of acclaimed Series Sons of Anarchy is about to become a Megastar.

Only in June was it announced that Sam Tayl0r-Johnson would be helming this Adaptation of E.L. James’ wildly popular Novels and now it has been confirmed that Charlie Hunnam is tied (pardon the pun) to the coveted role of Christian Grey for which many of Hollywood’s A-List Actors have been vying for.  Don’t be shocked though, as Hunnam‘s Career has seen some daring moves including a fearless performance in 1999’s original Queer as Folk Series as as Nathan Maloney.

Confirmed in the Lead Actress Role of Anastasia Steele is Dakota Johnson, Daughter of Stars Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson.  Having sharpened her skills starring in now-defunct Comedy Series Ben and Kate, she also has appeared in popular Films like 21 Jump Street, The Social Network, Beastly and The Five-Year Engagement.

50 Shades of Grey centers on the  intense, erotic relationship between a Student and a 27-year-old Billionaire.  The Series of Novels by James has sold over 70-million Copies worldwide.

We had the pleasure of meeting both the Director Taylor-Johnson and Hunnam in 2012. Both are amazingly wonderful.  Read more here and here.

Hunnam is set to return to Toronto this Fall to film Guillermo del Toro‘s Crimson Peak.

50 Shades of Grey releases August 1, 2014 via Focus Features & Universal Pictures.
