The long anticipated wait for a cinematic glimpse of the movie follow up to ’50 Shades of Grey’ is over. And it’s tantalising. The trailer hit internet screens everywhere just yesterday and has already reached over 4 million hits across versions on YouTube.
The film stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Doran, and even features an appearance from Rita Ora. Tracing the deepening relationship between a college graduate, Anastasia Steele, (Johnson) and a young business magnate, Christian Grey (Doran), the Universal pictures production has big shoes to fill, with the book trilogy by E.L James quickly becoming a world wide phenomenon in 2011.
With erotic themes of S&M, seductive gameplay and bondage, producer Michael De Luca promises to be faithful to the book but warns it wont be as explicit, in consciousness of not being too gratuitous or exploitive.
“We’re going to give them what they expect, which is an intense and erotic love story”.
The softly suggestive trailer, featuring an exclusive version of Beyoncé’s ‘Crazy in Love’, has sent the internet ablaze with fans comments. Discussion topics vary from surprises in casting choices, Jamie Doran’s upper body and some hard looks at the portrayal of female sexuality in main-stream media.
