*And I know that I am NOT! I have written on this film before…The story behind the whole S&M thang (which, BTW, I am NOT into) based on the best-selling trilogy of books from British author, E. L. James — the first of which was written in 2011. But as photos begin to leak showing characters Anastacia Steele and Christian Grey, brought to life magnificently by actors Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan respectively, it reminds me of how excited I am to see them as a married couple in “Fifty Shades Darker.”
Not to mention how this powerful franchise (the books have been around for years) will continue to give our brother, Marlon Wayans, fuel for what he probably hopes will be a franchise when his “Fifty Shades of Black” movie grows up.
Dornan and Johnson were spotted filming Fifty Shades Darker in Vancouver, Canada recently. It’s really going to be a trip — especially for those who have seen the first film, Fifty Shades of Grey, (that BTW boosted The Weeknd’s song, Earned It, from the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack to heights greater than he probably EVER expected it to go) buying into the fact that a woman who we first met as a rather goofy, sexually inexperienced waiflike creature not only snags this wealthy-but-weird dude, but then gets a marriage proposal out of him and finally, gets that home with a picket fence and little family.
