James Foley Officially Offered to Direct 'Fifty Shades Darker'

James Foley has been officially offered the job to direct the “Fifty Shades of Grey” sequel after news broke two weeks ago that he was the top choice for the project.

Deadline Hollywood first reported that Foley was a front-runner for “Fifty Shades Darker” and sources now tell Variety that negotiations are expected to start shortly. Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson are attached to reprise their roles, with author E.L. James, Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti producing. James’ husband, Niall Leonard, penned the script.

Execs had been meeting with directors over the past several months since Sam Taylor-Johnson, who directed the first film in the trilogy, announced that she would not be returning to helm.

Production will begin in the first quarter of 2016, with the film set to bow on Feb. 14, 2017. Casting should get underway once Foley’s deal is worked out.

Jack Savoretti Talks About Jamie

 

The Italian - English singer has a local celebrity fan in Co Down's Jamie Dornan who tweeted this year urging people to look up Jack's music.

He said: "Jamie, he's an old friend we've been friends for 4 or 5 years.

"Anything he touches he's very good at and he's just has incredible success.

"He's not exactly a proactive twitter account user and we were laughing saying he's literally tweeted about 3 times in the last year and two of those have been about this record."

He added: "I'm just grateful that he's been sweet enough and kind enough to push it."
