Dakota Johnson Wants Jamie Dornan To Go Full Frontal In Fifty Shades Darker

February 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

50-shades-bd-slide

It was a little odd that despite Fifty Shades Of Grey being most famous for being full of descriptions of full-on BDSM sex, the film version was a little coy and certainly wasn’t a showcase for Christian Grey/Jamie Dornan’s penis – although there was a brief look at the very top of it. The reason for that is that Jamie Dornan had a ‘no frontal nudity’ clause in his contract – which seems to rather go against the spirit of playing Christian Grey.

However now there’s one person who’s stepped up to try and get him to put it all on show in the sequel, Fifty Shades Darker – his co-star Dakota Johnson (who was fully nude in the first film). Talking to WatchWhatHappensLive, Andy Cohen asked about whether Dornan needs to get properly nude.

She replied: “That’s an interesting question, I’ll probably get in trouble for this answer… yeah. Yeah. I’m gonna make him get fully naked in the next one. Everybody wants to see the D, the Dornan D. We should start a movement, a campaign.”

Whether he will or not, isn’t known. It was slightly odd though, as during his modelling career Dornan had no problem taking his clothes off, and there are pics that regularly do the rounds of the internet showing off the Dornan dick. However, when playing an infamously sexual character, he got a little shy.

Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed will shoot this year for release in 2017 and 2018.

Fifty Shades Of Grey – Unseen Edition (Blu-ray Review)

June 23, 2015 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

Starring: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Marcia Gay Harden, Jennifer Ehle, Max Martini
Director: Sam Taylor-Johnson
Running Time: 128 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: June 22nd 2015 (UK)

Anyone who knows me will be aware that there aren’t many occasions when I don’t know what to say, but as the credits rolled on Fifty Shades Of Grey, I really had no idea what to make of it.

It should come as no surprise by now to hear that Fifty Shades Of Grey is about young, naïve virgin Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson), who is sent to interview the handsome billionaire Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) after her journalist roommate gets ill. Christian is drawn to Anastasia and begins to court her in his own singular style – where he is very adamant that he doesn’t do the girlfriend thing, or romance, or indeed typical human emotions.

Crush Of The Day: Jamie Dornan Gets Naked On The Fifty Shades Set

February 12, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fifty-shades-outtake6Jamie Dornan is a cruel man, as he had a clause written in his Fifty Shades Of Grey contract that despite all the sex we’d never see him full frontal (even though he’s done nude modelling before in which little Jamie was on display, as the internet will attest).

However that doesn’t mean we won’t get plenty of Dornan hotness, and to give us a little taste, W Magazine has gotten hold of a set of outtake images from the set, one of which features Jamie butt naked, getting up close and personal with Dakota Johnson.

I expect this will be one of the few times in your life where you’ll wish you were Don Johnson’s daughter.

The naked shot is from the movie’s first lovemaking scene, with things getting kinkier from there on in.

Fifty Shades Of Grey is in cinemas now. [Read more…]

Movie Super Bowl Spot Round-Up – Fifty Shades, Minions, Ted 2 & Pitch Perfect 2

February 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fifty-shades-trailer2-jamie-dornan-shirtlessWhile there aren’t as many massive movie Super Bowl spots as there used to be, it’s still a popular way for Hollywood to show off their upcoming wares. We’ve already posted spots for Terminator Genisys, Jurassic World, Fast & Furious 7, Inside Out and Tomorrowland, but that wasn’t all.

So take a look below for the spots for Fifty Shades, Minions, Ted 2 & Pitch Perfect 2. The Ted 2 one is the most football related, as it features Patriots player Tom Brady meeting Mark Wahlberg and the tititual teddy, while he’s in bed.

Fifty Shades wants to know whether you’re curious, Pitch Perfect 2 is showing off the music and Minions is as small and yellow as you’d expect. It’s certainly looking like a busy year at the cinema. [Read more…]

Fifty Shades of Grey Gets An ‘R’ Rating For Its ‘Unusual Behavior’

January 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fifty-shades-trailer2-jamie-dornan-shirtlessMany have been wondering how the film version of Fifty Shades Of Grey would escape a dreadful – and commercially suicidal – NC-17 rating in the US. After all, if it fully showed what the novels are most famous for, it would be hardcore in the extreme.

However ever since Universal bought the film rights it’s been clear they’ve been aiming for an ‘R’ rating. Indeed, Jamie Dornan’s recent statement that his contract even included a clause that his penis wouldn’t be shown suggested it might be even tamer than some had expected (or at least hoped for).

Now it’s been through the MPAA rating system and has come out the other side with it ‘R’ certificate, along with the official warning that it got that classification for, ‘Strong sexual content including dialogue, some unusual behavior and graphic nudity, and for language.’

The ‘unusual behavior’ is presumably some of the film’s BDSM powerplay situations, as the MPAA is famed for issuing warning that are so scared of actually saying what the problem is that they become too vague for anyone to understand (the most famous of these being films that are given a rating due to mysterious ‘thematic elements’).

Before Fifty Shades went into production, there had been talk of the studio making an ‘R’ rated version and then later releasing a much stronger ‘NC-17′ edition, but those plans were abandoned fairly quickly. Indeed that fact the movie seemingly sailed through the MPAA system without too many issues, further suggests that this may not be as near-the-knuckle as the books would suggest it would have to be.

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. The screenplay is by Kelly Marcel, with revisions by Patrick Marber and Mark Bomback.’

It’ll be in cinemas on Valentine’s 2015.

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:

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.

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

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).
