It wasn’t entirely a surprise, but the solid business for the EL James adaptation Fifty Shades of Grey ensured that follow-ups to the best-selling erotic novel were put swiftly into production.
Fifty Shades Darker is the first result, and while Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan are back as the blushing Anastasia Steele and frowning Christian Grey, one person who isn’t is director Sam Taylor-Johnson, who has been replaced by James Foley.
There’s not much to go on in 20 short seconds: symbolic fireworks, a woman in high heels, Dornan smirking, and some non-specific soundtrack moaning. But it’s all a tickle to point up the existence of a proper trailer which is due tomorrow. And the film itself is out on 10 February 2017.
