About a year ago, women discovered Fifty Shades of Grey. And just what was Fifty Shades of Grey? Well, apparently, it was everything they’d been waiting for. The raunchy novel became an instant success, and eventually it was all women of all ages, middle aged, teenaged (I’ve seen this first hand. It’s strange) could talk about. Whilst some women failed to be swayed by E.L. James’ erotic story, making several criticisms about its writing and such, it went on to sell 100 million copies worldwide, and even spawned two sequels. Women were obsessed with the sexual nature of the book, which made them anxious to the casting of the mysterious Christian Grey. Well, it seems they’ll be getting what they want as the first trailer has been released.
Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) is a meek journalist who interviews Mr. Grey (Jamie Dornan), and her life is changed forever as she and him start a relationship unlike any other. What follows is several, SEVERAL passionate clips of the two....like.....you know.....doing it, and stuff. And brief shots of the, um, instruments shall we say?, that they use in their intercourse.
It’s certainly a steamy trailer, one that’ll get women hot under the collar. But at the point of the trailer in which it reads “This Valentine’s Day”, I felt the Earth shake as a collective *sigh* from boyfriends everywhere happened. Well hey, at least you don’t have to worry about knowing where to go, or what to plan, because it’s already been done for you!
Joking aside, they picked the right release date, as this film is going to make millions. It actually looks pretty decent; this is coming from a 16 year old boy, who definitely is not part of the target audience of this film. Will it be an excellent adaption or an erotic mess? Either way, ladies should be in for a treat this Valentines’ Day.
