Copies of
the eagerly anticipated film Fifty Shades Of Grey are being guarded like
the Crown Jewels. Only the director, studio chiefs and censors have
seen it.
'The
security is tighter than on any other film made in Hollywood,' director
Sam Taylor-Johnson told me after she spent a whopping ten months
editing the movie, completing it only on Wednesday of last week.
'Ordinarily,
I would have screened it for people by now, but I'm not allowed to. I
haven't even been allowed a 'friends and family' screening. The studio's
frightened someone will tweet, or put something about it on Facebook,'
explained the British film-maker and artist.
The film's stars Jamie Dornan and Dakota
Johnson have been talking about it, but they're being watched carefully.
Ms Johnson gave one interview and two 'minders' stayed in the room with
her the whole time, monitoring every word. Meanwhile, Mr Dornan is
trying not to think about what fans of E. L. James's novels will do to
him should they disapprove of his depiction of bondage billionaire
Christian Grey.
'I should
stop worrying,' he sighed when we chatted at the popular BAFTA Los
Angeles Tea Party at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills.
'What
can they do? Lock me in the red room of pain?' the actor said,
referring to Grey's secret boudoir where various acts of discipline,
dominance, submission, sadism and masochism take place. I think they
were referred to, euphemistically, as 'Christian's predilection' in the
books.
Not
long to wait now for the kinky shenanigans. The film premieres at the
Berlin Film Festival next month and is being whipped out for release on
February 13.
Let's hope it's worth the pain.
