Author E.L. James' 'Fifty Shades Darker' PHOTO, Dakota Johnson & Jamie Dornan Filming!
After many reported delays in production of the Fifty Shades of Grey sequel, it seems things are back on track and the last two films based on the E.L. James trilogy have just begun production. The author recently took to Instagram to reveal filming had just begun in Canada, and stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan will be back to reprise their roles in Fifty Shades Darker!
According to The Daily Mail, the trilogy's author shared a snap from the clapboard of the start of production. Just as the post reached Instagram, paparazzi caught Johnson landing in Canada, barely days after attending the BAFTA Film Awards in London last weekend.
It has been reported that Universal Studios is planning on shooting the remaining two films of the saga, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed, back to back. The second installment will be released in February 2017, followed by its threequel reaching theaters one year later, on February 2018.
In the next installments, Johnson's character, Anastasia Steele, is faced with Christian Grey's ex lovers, including Kim Basinger as Elena Lincoln and Arielle Kebbel as Gia Matteo.
Metro reports that there's one thing fans are waiting for when it's time for the two remaining films to come out: Dornan possibly doing full-frontal nudity.
Johnson was recently on Andy Cohen's show to talk about her career and latest projects (she's currently promoting her latest film, How to Be Single, co-starring Rebel Wilson), and the host asked her what she thought of her Fifty Shades co-star taking off his clothes, pointing out it was unfair that she did nudity and he didn't.
"Hmm...that's an interesting question," said Johnson on the interview. "I'll probably get in trouble for this question. Yeah, I'm going to get him fully naked in the next one."
Fifty Shades Darker will hit theaters on February 10, 2017.
