Fifty Shades of Grey Movie Poster Released
The much-anticipated "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie will be one of the most watched movies of 2015, to be sure. And now, the Powers that Be who have put the movie together have released the first poster of the movie, and it looks even steamier than originally conceived!
What makes the film's poster so steamy, to be frank, is its simplicity. Even though the film deals with overt sexuality and BDSM, the poster is stark, yet simple...looking almost like an out-take from "Mad Men."
Jamie Dornan, of course, plays the titular Mr.Grey.
According to the International Business Times, the poster was first posted on the film's Twitter site, with the caption, "Mr. Grey will see you now. Start the countdown to Valentine's Day 2015!" Dornan, as Grey, is overlooking the Seattle skyline with the caption, "Mr. Grey will see you now."
IBT also spilled a few additional casting details about the film, as well: in addition to Jamie Dornan as Grey and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, "the film also features Dylan Neal as 'Bob,' Steele's stepfather and current husband to her mother Carla, played by Jennifer Ehle. Eloise Mumford plays Steele's best friend, Kate Kavanagh, and Max Martini takes the role of Grey's bodyguard. "True Blood" star Luke Grimes will play Elliot Grey, the brother of Christian, and Rita Ora plays Grey's adopted sister. Oscar-winner Marcia Gay Harden reportedly has the role of Grey's mother."
People Magazine also reveals that the film will be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson. The film -- and the book in which it's based -- has already drawn criticism, because of its origins as "Twilight" fan fiction (wait...Bella as Edward's sex slave? Oy.). No less of a vocal critic than Dr. Drew exists, claiming that the book promotes "violence against women." (Many sexologists have argued the opposite, because the book -- however poorly written, whatever the poor basis of the origin story -- discusses a consensual relationship.)
Nonetheless, what are your thoughts on this first-ever poster promoting the much-anticipated movie? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
