The New ‘Fifty Shades Darker’ Trailer Features Shower Sex And More Helicopter Rides

Did you not get enough sex and mediocre writing from the first Fifty Shades movie? Well, we got some good news for you. The team has returned for the sequel, Fifty Shades Darker, and a new trailer has just been released.

Both Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson have returned to star, and that’s honestly a bit shocking because at one point it looked like neither one of them would return. However, a change in directors got everyone feeling good about the franchise again, and now here we are.

This new trailer features a string of extravagant scenes, including a super realistic helicopter crash and some steamy shower sex. In the background, you can hear Miguel’s cover of Beyonce’s Crazy In Love.

As mentioned above, the franchise has a new director. James Foley (Fear, House of Cards) has agreed to direct this film and the next movie in the series, Fifty Shades Freed.

Fifty Shades Darker will be released February 10th 2017, which is Valentine’s Day, so make sure you buy your tickets early. Your basic wife will appreciate it.

Check out the synopsis and trailer below…

“When a wounded Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) tries to entice a cautious Ana Steele (Dakota Johnson) back into his life, she demands a new arrangement before she will give him another chance. As the two begin to build trust and find stability, shadowy figures from Christian’s past start to circle the couple, determined to destroy their hopes for a future together.”

‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ Director Will Not Be Returning For The Sequel!

dak

The good news for you Fifty Shades of Grey fans? There will be a sequel, and Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan will be returning.

The bad news? You just lost your director. Sam Taylor-Johnson has officially announced that she will not be returning for Fifty Shades Darker. The first film was apparently dark enough for her.

Check out her official statement below…

“Directing Fifty Shades Of Grey has been an intense and incredible journey for which I am hugely grateful. I have Universal to thank for that. I forged close and lasting relationships with the cast, producers and crew and most especially, with Dakota and Jamie. While I will not be returning to direct the sequels, I wish nothing but success to whosoever takes on the exciting challenges of films two and three.”

Of course, she didn’t mention the rumors going around. Sources say Taylor-Johnson was never going to direct the second film, due to creative clashes with E.L. James. It’s being reported that James has demanded to write the sequel, which didn’t sit well with Taylor-Johnson and Kelly Marcel, the writer behind the first movie.

Production on the sequel isn’t scheduled to start until next year, so Universal has more than enough time to find a new director. We’ll see what happens. It will be interesting to see who takes on this monster.

Jamie Dornan Leaving ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ Franchise? Not So Fast…

dornn

You have probably heard the rumors by now. Several sources claim the actor was searching for a way out of his Fifty Shades of Grey contract. They claimed he didn’t want to reprise his role as Christian Grey for the sequel that is bound to happen.

However, Dornan’s rep talked to PEOPLE yesterday, forcing a little bit of truth down our throats.

“Jamie is delighted that the film is breaking box office records worldwide and whilst the studio has not made any formal announcements about sequels, he is looking forward to making the next film.”

The rep also made it clear that this is the only statement Dornan will be making about the rumors. It appears the rumors originated in an Australian magazine. The magazine claimed Dornan was looking to leave the franchise because his wife was uncomfortable with the sex scenes.

Which doesn’t make a lot of sense because everyone was complaining about the lack of chemistry between Dornan and his 25-year-old costar Dakota Johnson. His wife should be thrilled about that.

As of right now, the studio has yet to green light a sequel, but we imagine it’s just a matter of time before they do. Yeah, the film dropped significantly in its second week at the box office; however, it’s grossed over $400 million worldwide.

That pretty much guarantees a sequel.

Fifty Shades Of Grey Breaking Records At The Box Office!

greyy

We told you it was coming. We told you this film was going to be huge. The abysmal 26% rating on Rotten Tomatoes didn’t hurt the erotic drama at all. If anything, the bad reviews actually made people want to go see it more.

And even though most people agree it’s not a good movie, there are still some good things we can grab from its success. For example, Fifty Shades of Grey had the biggest opening weekend for a film directed by a woman in box office history.

In its first three days, the film grossed $81.7 million domestically, easily beating the $69.6 million from Catherine Hardwicke’s Twilight. This is both good and bad news. It’s nice seeing female directors have success at the box office; however, there have obviously been better films directed by women. It’s a little sad to see Fifty Shades of Grey and Twilight at the top of the list.

The film also shattered the record for the highest-grossing Presidents Day holiday weekend opener. The 2010 romantic comedy, Valentine’s Day, was the previous record holder with $56.3 million.

We can sit here and make fun of the movie all day, but the people who made it certainly don’t care.

stevv

Are you exhausted with the discussions surrounding the erotic drama Fifty Shades of Grey? We are right there with you. We all know this film is going to be a huge hit, and that apparently has some people raging. Film snobs hate the movie, religious people hate the book, and some people hate it because they feel it promotes domestic abuse.

We are not here to talk about any of that. We are here to bring the lovers and haters together. The fine folks working the Boo Ya Pictures YouTube channel have created one of the best recut movie trailers we have ever seen.

They replaced the hideous Jamie Dornan with the stunning Steve Buscemi. It’s truly magical. Check it out down below, and be sure to watch the full video. It progressively gets more hilarious.

The Five Most Anticipated 2015 Films: ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Tops List

saa

We are just one day away from 2015, which means we are now saying goodbye to 2014. Instead of looking back at 2014, we are looking forward to the new year. There are some huge movies being released in 2015, and now we know the five films you are most looking forward to watching, thanks to a survey by Fandango.

They polled 1,000 fans on their site to determine the five most anticipated films of 2015. According to the same Fandango poll last year, Hunger Games: Mockingjay was the most anticipated film of 2014. This year, the Hunger Games franchise fell down slightly on the list, thanks to some stiff competition.

Check out the top five films (according to Fandango users) down below. Do you agree? What 2015 movie are you most excited about seeing?

No. 1 – Star Wars: The Force Awakens – Trailer

No surprise here. The internet almost exploded when the teaser trailer was released last month. Star Wars fans will have to wait all year for this movie, though. The release date is scheduled for Dec. 18, 2015. So basically you have another year to wait.

No. 2 – Avengers: Age of Ultron – Trailer

Again, this shouldn’t surprise you. This is a sequel to the most financially-successful superhero film of all-time. The original Avengers grossed over $1.5 billion worldwide. It was the first Marvel production to hit $1 billion in ticket sales. Fans of the franchise won’t have to wait too much longer for the sequel. It will open May 1, 2015.

No. 3 – Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2

Just like with Star Wars, Katniss fans all over the world will have to wait until the end of the year to watch their favorite hero kick a** one last time. As some of you know, I am a huge fan of the franchise, so this is definitely one of my most anticipated films of 2015.  It is scheduled to hit theaters Nov. 20, 2015.

No. 4 – Fifty Shades of Grey – Trailer

What’s that old saying? Don’t judge a movie by its book? Some of you (me, me, me!) may dislike the story, but at least this movie is the only non-sequel on the list. We complain about sequels all the time, but that’s what the average moviegoer wants to see. Everyone is scared of originality. I mean, the only reason Fifty Shades of Grey was made into a film was because of the successful book. Studios know these films will make them money. You can watch Dakota Johnson live out your sexual fantasies on the big screen Feb. 13, 2015.

No. 5 – Jurassic World – Trailer

I am so scared to watch this film. I love the Jurassic Park franchise, but the trailer released for Jurassic World didn’t excite me. I will say that it did look a little better when I saw it on the big screen before watching the final Hobbit film, but it still has me worried. We’ll see what happens June 12, 2015.

There you have it, folks. That’s the Fandango list. Personally, I would have replaced Fifty Shades of Grey with Tomorrowland.

Jamie Dornan Admits He Visited Sex Dungeon To Research His Role In Fifty Shades of Grey

gr

We have seen actors go through insane transformations for a role. Dropping weight, gaining weight, cutting off their hair, etc. If they believe in the story, they will go the extra mile to make sure it’s as authentic as possible.  And Jamie Dornan apparently believes in Christian Grey, the billionaire businessman who enjoys getting extra freaky in the bedroom.

In the upcoming issue of Elle UK, Dornan revealed that he did some impressive research for his role in Fifty Shades of Grey. The 32-year-old actor admitted he visited sex dungeons to help him get into character.

“I went there, they offered me a beer, and they did… whatever they were into. I saw a dominant with one of his two submissives. I was like: ‘Come on guys I know I’m not paying for this but I am expecting a show.’ It was an interesting evening. Then going back to my wife and newborn baby afterwards… I had a long shower before touching either of them.”

What a life, right? Being able to tell your wife that you just went to a sex dungeon…for work! I tried that with my ex-girlfriend a few years ago, but she was just like, “What? Since when does Taco Bell deliver?”

Anyway, be sure to take your grandmother to the Fifty Shades of Grey premiere on Valentine’s Day, 2015.

First Character Photos of 50 Shades Movie Released

Fifty_Shades_Cover-FULLEntertainment Weekly released the first character photos of the eagerly anticipated ’50 Shades of Grey’ movie.  Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan not only grace the cover of the issue but there is also a full photo layout of the two inside.  Personally, I’m not impressed, but it appears fans of the book are satisfied…at least for now.

In the article written about the upcoming film, we get to hear Dakota’s take for the first time regarding the role.  The 24 year old told EW,

Obviously, I want to look good naked, I totally understand now why people exercise, because it kind of f–king feels awesome.”

Umm….ok.  I’m glad at age 24, she is finally learning what a workout is.

Dornan also weighs in on his role in the film.  He basically says that he is not at all worried about the storyline or the sex scenes,

“I’m a fairly worldly guy. I grew up in a very liberal place. I’m not saying we had a playroom, but I’m not shocked by [the sex in the book].”

[more…]

Just another day at work for Dornan.  Without much of an acting career to date, this could be exactly what he needs to become a certified A-lister.  What do you think, Good Casting or not?
