Fifty Shades of Grey Release Date, Cast & News Update: Movie to Hit Theaters in Feb 2015 [VIDEO]
For all Fifty Shades of Grey fans, the movie adaptation has been recently moved to Feb 2015 from the original August 1, 2014 date according to Universal Pictures.
Many ponder that the change in the schedules that have also affected its production dates in Vancouver happened due to the change of its leading man to portray the epic role of Christian Grey. However, Inside Movies of Entertainment Weekly said that it is not just the change of casting from Charlie Hunnam to Jamie Dornan, but it is because of its overly crowded summer schedule.
Donna Langley, the Universal Pictures Chairman said that they also want to take advantage of a season of release for the film when most female audience will be out for a romantic date and also connected to the holiday of the President's Day. She emphasized too that this change could still have happened even if Hunnam did not back out of the role.
Now its new schedule is all rumored to be up against the film adaptation of The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks, which still has not come up with any cast or production news yet.
On other news, the British author of the bestselling erotica series, E.L. James admits that she still could not believe that a film adaptation is all set to really happen for her work. In fact, she says she's "terrified," according to New York Daily News as the site reported about the writer's interview with the Entertainment Weekly.
James remembers that her ultimate ambition then was to simply see her books on the shelves of bookstores around.
Starpulse wrote too that Fifty Shades of Grey lead stars Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson already posed together for their first ever photo shoot that appeared as cover for the latest EW issue. Johnson has already dyed her hair brown for the role while Dornan repeatedly mentioned how excited and comfortable he feels about the highly "liberal" sense of the story.
