"Based on the first novel in E.L James' mega-selling trilogy of titillation, and starring our own Jamie Dornan as the domineering Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as his submissive lover Anastasia Steele, its clear fans, dissenters and the merely curious alike will be descending in their droves on the cinemas this weekend."
The anticipation for the novel "50 Shades of Grey" coming to life on the big screen has been almost too much for the fans to handle. E. L. James has now been labeled one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World." From June 2012 to June 2013 alone, James made approximately $95 million. "Sons of Anarchy" star Charlie Hunnan had originally been cast as Christian Grey, but then had to drop the role in order to continue filming "Sons of Anarchy." BDSM communities around the world are up in arms towards the novel because they do not feel it accurately portrays their lifestyle. Overall, the fascination with this trilogy has a jaw-dropping affect.
"The 50 Shades trilogy has sold 31 million copies worldwide, overtaking Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and The Da Vinci Code as the bestselling books in Britain."
Personally, I am one of those crazed 50 Shades fans. My anticipation for the novel coming to the big screen has been growing each day. I find that people focus too much on the sex aspect of the books, and cannot identify the underlying romance between the two characters, Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. I am personally upset that Ryan Gosling did not receive the part of Christian Grey, because well, he's Ryan Gosling. However, I feel that the cast was well picked and the movie will be a huge, massive, insane success.
