Fifty Shades of Grey Movie Cast, News, and Update: Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson Get Close, José Rodriguez Makes Appearance
WARNING: This article contains spoilers for the Fifty Shades of Grey novel and the Fifty Shades of Grey movie adaptation.
Fifty Shades of Grey started production this month, and we have the scoop on which of your favorite parts from E.L. James's novel have already been filmed for the big screen.
Readers of the novel can relax and enjoy the ride because the bike scene has been filmed, E! News reports. Yesterday, the landmark scene where Christian Grey (played by Jamie Dornan) and Anastasia Steele (played by Dakota Johnson) first fell in love was filmed in Vancouver.
In the scene, Christian and Anastasia are walking down the street all infatuated and flirty. Christian embraces Anastasia and almost kisses her, but alas, he's just a tease (for now). Anastasia becomes frustrated, probably in more ways than one, and storms off. Her lack of focus almost causes her to get hit by a bicyclist in the crosswalk, but luckily our knight in shining whips and chains rescues her.
Another scene had Victor Rasuk getting in front of the camera to play the role of José Rodriguez, the photographer who dreams of making Kodak moments with Anastasia. José was seen in Anastasia's graduation scenes on Dec. 18, Hollywood Life reports. Thus the battle between José and Christian for Anastasia's heart will likely make it to the film adaptation.
What else is going on set? Dornan and Johnson seem to be having a ball together.
Sources say they saw the two stars dancing on set together in order to keep warm. Johnson allegedly initiated the warmth dance by extending her hand out. Dornan responded by pulling Johnson close and resting her hand on his shoulder.
The two don't need much to keep each other entertained.
Sources have also spotted Dornan and Johnson playing makeshift basketball out of garbage and a trash can. Johnson isn't much of a player; she missed her shot, but you can call Dornan Kobe. After he sunk a basket, everyone cheered.
Johnson tried to win back the crowd by juggling, but after dropping everything, all she got was laughter from Dornan.
Do you want to get in on Dornan and Johnson's antics? You probably can't because the set is under tight security.
Focus Pictures and Focus Features hired 10 undercover police officers to protect the sanctity of the film. In between shots, actors hide underneath umbrellas. When the camera starts rolling, the police officers and production assistants block their view from outsiders.
Fifty Shades of Grey will hit theaters Feb. 13, 2015.
