The "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie seems to feature talent that wants to take control.

In a recent interview with The Sun newspaper, Guy Ritchie revealed that he wants Jamie Dornan, who plays Christian Grey in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie, to play the lead in his upcoming Warner Bros. film series about King Arthur, Daily Mail reported.

"Jaime is hot property in Hollywood," an anonymous source told the newspaper. "Guy was completely blown away when he met him and wanted to offer the part immediately.

"Fifty Shades of Grey," based off of the first book in E.L. James' "Fifty Shades" erotic novel trilogy, could see two sequels ("Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed"). This could prove an obstacle in getting Dornan to star in the King Arthur series.

"Jamie is keen on the role, too, and his U.S. agents are keen to work out a deal where he'll be able to do both franchises," the source explained. "They have to convince Universal to allow Jamie to make the film with Warner Brothers, which isn't looking promising."

Dornan is reportedly very interested in doing Ritchie's movie because the 32-year-old budding actor wants to take control of his career and avoid being typecast as Christian Grey, the S&M-loving billionaire.

"Jamie is keen to take on other roles and prove he's an adaptable actor," the source said. "He fears the huge 'Fifty Shades' franchise will be all he's associated with."

Sam Taylor-Johnson, director of "Fifty Shades of Grey," knows how big the movie could end up being. In order to deal with this potential, T: The New York Times Style Magazine reported that she filmed the movie as if it was a small indie film.

"[It made the environment so] that it didn't feel like we were doing something as massive as it potentially will be," she said. "I wanted to keep it quite close-knit so that everyone felt supported, especially because a lot of the material is sensitive."

When it came to dealing with the sexual nature of the film, Taylor-Johnson felt in control.

"I tend to jump into big challenges as fearlessly as I possibly can, and this is definitely a big challenge," the director said. "But I didn't feel like I was stepping into something outside my realm of thought or creativity. A lot of my work has dealt with sexuality and power shifts and identity."

"Fifty Shades of Grey" hits theaters Feb. 13, 2015.
