Last year’s Fifty Shades of Grey made $571m worldwide on a budget of just $40m, smashing records and box-office predictions. Unsurprisingly, then, studio Lionsgate is adapting both of EL James’s sequels, and shooting them back-to-back, for release on the next two Valentine’s Days.
So what do we know about the first, Fifty Shades Darker?
“I thought I’d broken you.»
«Broken? Me? Oh no, Ana. Just the opposite.»
He reaches out and takes my hand. «You’re my lifeline'» he whispers.”
― E.L. James, Fifty Shades Darker
