• 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Opening to Lukewarm Reviews

    Tomorrow, Feb. 13, "Fifty Shades of Grey" will open in theaters nationwide, and if the plethora of reviews rolling in are any indication, there are going to be a lot of disappointed fans. We already know that in order to snag that R rating the BDSM scenes detailed in the book were going to have to be completely watered down. That means that in order for fans to leave the theater feeling satisfied, the chemistry and connection between Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, who portray Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, better be dead on. Unfortunately, according to all the early lukewarm reviews, it is not there.

  • 'Fifty Shades of Grey' on Track to Open to $60 Million Over Four Days

    "Fifty Shades of Grey" is this close to finally rolling into theaters just in time for Valentine's Day, and early indications are that it is going to have a pretty good opening weekend. As of right now, the film based on the hugely popular book series by E.L. James is on track to open at about $60 million. According to a report by "Variety," if it does that over four days, then the film will already be considered a profitable success.

  • Dakota Johnson Says Her 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Character is a Feminist and Jamie Dornan Was Very Protective

    We're only a few short weeks until the moment when Fifty Shades of Grey will finally make its grand debut in theaters and then we'll all definitively know whether or not the film adaptation does the book justice. Needless to say, both Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson are doing loads of interviews to promote the film. They are also both covering the March 2015 issue of Glamour and the interview that accompanies it is pretty revealing.

  • Dakota Johnson Is Commemorating Her Role in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' by Covering 'Vogue'

    Since the hotly anticipated "Fifty Shades of Grey" is getting ready to roll into theaters Feb. 13, we can expect to see its stars — Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson — everywhere to promote it.

That hopeful notion is probably the main reason why Johnson has been chosen to cover the February issue of "Vogue."

  • Will 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Generate Enough Heat with an R Rating from MPAA?

    It seems like we have been waiting forever for the film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey" to be released, and now that it is almost here, it has finally been given an official rating by the MPAA. Although it seemed like it was heading for an NC-17 branding, it has just been announced that "Fifty Shades of Grey" will hit theaters Feb. 13 with an R rating.The film, based on E.L. James's risqué BDSM trilogy, pulled an official R rating due to "strong sexual content including dialogue, some unusual behavior and graphic nudity," which, of course, is no surprise to anyone who has read the series. But there has been concern all along about taking something so graphic and putting it on the big screen. In order to make fans of the book happy, whatever unfolds on screen is going to have to be really hot and risky. It is almost hard to imagine the film being able to mirror the book with just an R rating, don't you think?Perhaps what Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, have managed to create on screen will still hold even if it is not identical to the book. If their chemistry works well enough and if the actual movie is as cleverly crafted as the teasers for it have been, then it could work. Dornan recently talked about "Fifty Shades of Grey" being a love story at its root. Maybe they have worked to tap into an emotional connection as well as the obvious physical one that the book series is based on.

The pressure is really on Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson to not only breathe life into the characters of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, but also to crank up the heat.

  • Charlie Hunnam Thinks That Playing Christian Grey Would Have Been Disastrous

    When Charlie Hunnam's name was first attached to the film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey," there was an instantaneous reaction by women everywhere. Those not too familiar with Hunnam's work seemed to think he did not exactly look like their mental image of Christian Grey, and those who already liked the "Sons of Anarchy" star thought his rough-and-tumble style might be a perfect fit. Hunnam pulled out of the film adaptation pretty quickly and, of course, rumors took over. Did he not have chemistry with Dakota Johnson, the woman who needs to play a convincing Anastasia Steele, or were the scripts garbage?Hunnam insisted it really was bad timing, an excuse many were not ready to accept because surely he already had his schedule when he first agreed to the role, right?
