'Fifty Shades of Grey' Bumped to 2015; First Look at Stars Jamie Dornan & Dakota Johnson


When Charlie Hunnam said "no mas" and dropped out of Universal and Focus Feature's Fifty Shades of Grey, the studios scrambled to find someone to take on the role of Christian Grey, eventually deciding on Jamie Dornan. But at the same time they were taking some of Hunnam's criticisms of the script to heart, recently hiring Mark Bomback to do some rewriting on what Kelly Marcel and Patrick Marber had done before. It's this aspect of the production that caused them to push back the start date, and now it's effected when we'll see the finished film in theaters.

Not surprisingly, Fifty Shades of Grey won't hit its target August 1st 2014 date, and has now been moved all way to February 13th 2015. That means it'll be ready just in time for Valentine's Day, in case any couples are looking to spice up the holiday with dinner, dessert, and the BDSM erotic thriller. Dakota Johnson is will play Christian' s lover, Anastasia Steele; Luke Grimes is Christian's brother, Elliot; Jennifer Ehle is Anastasia's mother; and Victor Rasuk is her best friend, Jose.  Sam Taylor-Johnson is directing.

After a number of other high-profile names had been mentioned for the Grey and Steele roles, some were surprised that two relative unknowns in Dornan and Johnson were chosen. Now we're getting a look at what producers saw in the duo as they graced the cover of this week's Entertainment Weekly, with him looking spiffy and possessive, and her willing to be possessed. That seems about right, doesn't it? What do you think? Do they look the parts at least?
