Jamie Dornan Went To A BDSM Dungeon To Get Into 50 Shades Character (While Showing Off His Guns)

December 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jamie-dornan-ELLEWhile Jamie Dornan didn’t have a huge amount of time to get ready to play Christian Grey in the upcoming movie version of 50 Shades Of Grey, it seems he still took his research seriously. Talking to Elle UK, he says he decided to head to a BDSM dungeon to have a look at what goes on.

Dornan comments, “I went there, they offered me a beer, and they did…whatever they were into. I saw a dominant with one of his two submissives. I was like: ‘Come on guys I know I’m not paying for this but I am expecting a show,’” he said. “It was an interesting evening. Then going back to my wife and newborn baby afterwards… I had a long shower before touching either of them.”

It’s a shame the encounter wasn’t videotaped so we could take a look ourselves on the eventual DVD extras.

Dornan also posed for the great pic above for Elle as part of his cover shoot, where we have to say he’s certainly looking good.

50 Shades hits cinemas on Valentine’s Day.

New Fifty Shades Of Grey Trailer – Jamie Dornan seduces Dakota Johnson

November 14, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Fifty-Shades-QuadThe moment Universal bought the rights to Fifty Shades Of Grey, many wondered how they were going to turn the mommy porn book into a Hollywood studio movie. After all, the US ratings systems isn’t exactly known for having a reasonable attitude to sex on screen, especially with S&M thrown in.

Well, I think it’s fair to say that the sex will be toned down (Jamie Dornan even had a ‘no penis’ clause in his contract), and on the evidence of this trailer they’re going for style and sensuality – although I’m sure the sex won’t be completely absent, as the second half of the trailer suggests.

I was also a bit of a fan of this shot:

Here’s the synopsis: ‘FIFTY SHADES OF GREY is the hotly anticipated film adaptation of the bestselling book that has become a global phenomenon. Since its release, the “Fifty Shades” trilogy has been translated in 52 languages worldwide and sold more than 90 million copies in e-book and print—making it one of the biggest and fastest-selling book series ever.

‘Stepping into the roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, who have become iconic to millions of readers, are Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson. Joining them in the cast are Luke Grimes as Christian’s brother, Elliot; Victor Rasuk as Anastasia’s close friend, José; and Jennifer Ehle as Anastasia’s mother, Carla. FIFTY SHADES OF GREY is being directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and produced by Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti alongside E. L. James, the creator of the series.

Jamie Dornan Suggests We Won’t Be Seeing His Penis In 50 Shades Of Grey

November 4, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jamie-Dornan-Interview1-slideIf ever a movie was made where gratuitous sex and nudity almost seems called for (which I suppose would mean it wouldn’t be gratuitous) it’s 50 Shades Of Grey. After all, while many people insist they read all three books for the story, the copious amounts of explicitly detailed BDSM sex in the novels are what they’re best known for.

For the more prurient among us it seemed good news when Jamie Dornan was cast as Christian Grey, as his background in modelling has involved a fair bit of nudity. However it now seems any dreams we had of seeing Little Jamie in the movie will have to remain dreams.

Talking to The Guardian, Dornan says, “There were contracts in place that said that viewers wouldn’t be seeing my, um….”

When prompted with the Brits slang for penis, ‘todger’, Dornan finished, “Yeah, my todger.”

And to the disappointment of some, he adds, “You want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible without grossing them out. You don’t want to make something gratuitous and ugly and graphic.”

In some ways it seems an odd way to go with a film based on something that is infamous for being gratuitous and ugly and graphic, however it was almost inevitable. Even without a ‘no penis’ contract in place, it’s likely the studio would have tried to hide Dornan’s assets.

In order to be able to advertise the film and get it in mainstream cinemas, Universal needs it to be rated ‘R’ in the US, and while you can have nearly as much gross violence as you like at that certificate, the sight of a penis, especially in a sexual situation, immediately pushes a film towards the commercial suicide of an ‘NC-17’ certificate. While they could probably get away with some penis, it certainly makes it easier with the US ratings system to hide it.

It does leave us with the irony though that in the same interview Dornan describes himself as a feminist who wanted to ensure none of the sex came across as non-consensual or as violence against women. However he’s locked into a sexist ratings system where the overt sexualisation of women – whether involving violence or not – is far more acceptable and tolerated than that of men.

However if seeing Dornan’s penis is important to you, there are images out there from his modelling days if you want to go and find them.

Aaron Paul Finds The 9th Life of Louis Drax Alongside Jamie Dornan

September 23, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Aaron-Paul-slideMiramax is pulling together a cast of hot young actors for The 9th Life of Louis Drax. Jamie Dornan was cast a couple of weeks ago, and now he’s been joined by Aaron Paul, according to THR.

The is based on Liz Jensen’s best-selling novel of the same title which begins on Louis Drax’s 9th birthday, when he suffers a near-fatal fall. In order to reveal the strange circumstances surrounding the young boy’s accident – Dr. Allan Pascal (Jamie Dornan) is ‘drawn into a thrilling mystery, testing the boundaries of fantasy and reality.’

Paul will play the father of the young boy, who becomes the initial subject of the investigation into the accident.

Alexandre Aja is directing from a screenplay by Max Minghella (who took on the project following the death of his father, English Patient director Anthony Minghella, who’d previously been developing the movie).

Filming will kick off next month in Canada.

Jamie Dornan Up For The 9th Life of Louis Drax

August 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fifty-shades-pic1Hollywood obviously thinks Fifty Shades Of Grey has the potential to turn Jamie Dornan into a big star, as the Irish actor is already booking new roles, with Miramax announcing  Dornan will star in the Alexandre Aja (Horns, The Hills Have Eyes) directed movie, The 9th Life of Louis Drax.

Max Minghella, who’s best known as an actor (The Internship, The Social Network), makes his screenwriting debut. It’s not too surprising he’s good with words as he is the son of Oscar-winning writer/director Anthony Minghella. Indeed when the film rights were purchased back in 2004, it was the plan for the English Patient and Talented Mr. Ripley helmer to adapt it himself. Sadly Anthony died in 2008 and Max has now taken over.

The movie is based on Liz Jensen’s best-selling novel of the same title which, ‘begins on Louis Drax’s 9th birthday, when he suffers a near-fatal fall. In order to reveal the strange circumstances surrounding the young boy’s accident – Dr. Allan Pascal (Jamie Dornan) is drawn into a thrilling mystery, testing the boundaries of fantasy and reality.’

Aja comments, “Max’s script takes us on a very emotional journey through the deep recesses of the mind and on a suspenseful Hitchcockian ride. I was drawn to the poignant family drama and the supernatural elements, and am excited to bring this rich and complex story to life.”

Filming will commence this October in Vancouver, Canada.

Beyonce Teases The Fifty Shades Of Grey Trailer

July 20, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fifty-shades-pic1The first thing anyone thinks of when they hear the name Beyoncé is kinky S&M sex and master-slave relationships. No? Well that might change a little now as the singer is the person who’s been chosen to tease the trailer for the Fifty Shades Of Grey movie.

Take a look at it below.

As you can see, we don’t get to see a lot, but it’s certainly intrigued us about Thursday’s full trailer. It’ll be interested to see exactly what we get to see then, as people are inevitably going to be interested in the sex, but you can’t show an awful lot of that in most trailers – unless they’re going full red-band.

The movie follows 27-year-old billionaire Christian Grey (Dornan) and his S&M filled affair with young college student Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson). Jennifer Ehle, Victor Rasuk, Eloise Mumford and Max Martini also star. Sam Taylor-Johnson is directing from a script by Kelly Marcel, Patrick Marber and Mark Bomback.

It’s due out February 13th 2015. [Read more…]

Jamie Dornan Is Looking Fine In The First Official Fifty Shades Of Grey Pic

June 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fifty-shades-pic1Although we’ve had some staged shots of Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson for Fifty Shades Of Grey, to celebrate Christian Grey’s birthday the first official in-movie pic from the film version has been released, which you can see above.

However while you might hope it would tease some of the film’s kinkier aspects, it’s a pretty safe shot.

The movie follows 27-year-old billionaire Christian Grey (Dornan) and his S&M filled affair with young college student Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson). Jennifer Ehle, Victor Rasuk, Eloise Mumford and Max Martini also star. Sam Taylor-Johnson is directing from a script by Kelly Marcel, Patrick Marber and Mark Bomback.

Crush Of The Day: Jamie Dornan Tells Interview He Doesn’t Like His Body, But Shows It Off Anyway

June 2, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jamie-Dornan-Interview13Jamie Dornan is a very handsome man, who’s has success as both an actor and a model. However that doesn’t mean he’s free from body issues – even if he agreed to show a lot of it as Christian Grey in the upcoming 30 Shades Of Grey adaptation.

He tells Interview, “I don’t like my physique. Who does? I was a skinny guy growing up, and I still feel like that same skinny kid.” When I noted that he will be unveiling the torso that has made him famous around the world for a movie-going audience, he again laughs over the absurdity of it all. “I’m still auditioning,” he avers. “I don’t really have choices in the material I get. So I have to make the choices in the way I play the characters. And I’m happy to get a chance to play Christian.”

Luckily for us though, he’s not covering his body up too much in the accompanying photoshoot, and even goes so far as to shove his hand down his pants to get is all thinking about what he’s touching.

The incredibly sexy shots were taken by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, and you can read the full interview here. However before you do that click on the hot pics below for larger versions. [Read more…]

November 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Max-MartiniMax Martini has had a pretty good 2013 with roles in Pacific Rim and Captain Phillips, and now he’s signed up for another fairly big flick. THR reports he’s nabbed one of the final major roles in Fifty Shades of Grey.
