If you were waiting for Fifty Shades of Grey, we have some bad news for you. The wait just got a bit longer.
If reports are to be believed, upcoming erotic-romance Fifty Shades of Grey is being re-shot due to lack of chemistry between the lead actors Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson.
According to AceShowbiz, the producers felt the footage was not passionate enough and as they have plans for the film’s sequels and they want it to be ‘perfect’.
“Dakota isn’t coming off sexy enough,” the US magazine quoted sources. “Ana needs to be naive, not a dish-rag. They want to do sequels, so this has to be perfect,” another source added.
The film is based on EL James novel of the same name, which traces deepening relationship between a college graduate, Anastasia Steele (played by Johnson) and a young business magnate, Christian Grey (Dornan).
Last week, Dornan and Johnson were seen in woods near Vancouver to do-over their scene. He sported a black leather jacket and she donned a brown jacket. They were seen filming a kissing scene. Director Sam Taylor-Johnson was spotted on the set as well.
Universal Pictures, however, has denied reports of poor chemistry, saying the actors’ intensity is unquestionable.
The film is due Stateside 13 February, 2015. Luke Grimes, Rita Ora, Eloise Mumford, Max Martini and Victor Rasuk are among the cast.
Well, the first trailer didn’t do much to convince us that there was enough chemistry anyway, so what made the makers wait this long to realise that? Maybe, Avengers 2.
The new trailer of Avengers 2 has just been released, and Universal may have real worried after watching it. Who can deny superheroes are the real sexy!
