The two-year wait between Fifty Shades of Grey and its sequel is likely due to these renegotiations between James and Universal - as well as those between the studio and the franchise’s stars, Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, who were seeking a pay increase. Still, the director’s chair remains open on the sequel as Taylor-Johnson will not return to direct. It has since been announced that James’ husband Niall Leonard will pen the script instead. Shortly after Fifty Shades of Grey debuted in theaters and the sequels were said to be in production, James met with Universal about attaining even more creative control over the followup films than she previously had (which was already much more than is usual) and possibly writing the script for Fifty Shades Darker.
Fifty Shades Darker will premiere February 10th, 2017, with Fifty Shades Freed following a year later on February 9th, 2018. The studio debuted a teaser for the Fifty Shades franchise (above) along with the dates. Now, Universal Studios has announced release dates for those films.Īt the studio's CinemaCon panel this week, Universal revealed upcoming release dates for two of its bigger franchises, Fast and Furious and Fifty Shades of Grey. However, prior to the Valentine's Day release of Fifty Shades of Grey, Taylor-Johnson revealed sequels were in development that will follow the other two novels in James' trilogy: Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed. As a result, the feature was an awkward mix of elements from the book and interesting filmmaking choices. James and director Sam Taylor-Johnson arose through the adaptation process about how the story should be brought to life. Fifty Shades of Grey, the best-selling erotica novel turned film, experienced box office success despite a rocky road to the screen.
