• 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.

    So many women will be running to the movie theaters on Feb. 13 to check out "Fifty Shades of Grey" primarily because of how hot the book series is. There is this immense hope that somehow the film adaptation will do the BDSM book enough justice to ensure that the rest of the trilogy also finds its' way to the big screen. 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? Well, Hunnam is covering the December 2014 issue of "Men's Health" — to perfection — and in the accompanying interview he explains the real story about backing out of Fifty Shades of Grey.

  • Will Film Adaptation of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Have Enough Chemistry to Satisfy Fans?

    The closer we get to E.L. James' "Fifty Shades of Grey" rolling into theaters, the more fans and critics alike seem to love speculation on whether or not it will actually work. Let's face it, trying to bring a series about BDSM to life onscreen with even an NC-17 rating is going to be a really tricky task. The film has to be raunchy or else it'll feel like a watered down version of the first book and that will leave the diehard fans wishing they didn't waste their money. At the same time, producers need to be careful that it's not so raunchy that is chases moviegoers away, so the line that everyone needs to walk is very fine.
