Fifty Shades of Grey sequel has its director
Naturally Universal was keen to get the sequel, based on the book Fifty Shades Darker, onto screens as soon as possible but things proved a little more complicated than that. First, the original director Sam Taylor-Johnson decided not to return amid rumours of on set spats with author E.L. James. And then we also heard news that the films stars, particular Jamie Dornan, were looking for significant pay increases to come back for more kinky action.
That all got ironed out but too late to hit the proposed February 2016 release date. Now the film is confirmed for Feb 2017 and a director is right on the cusp of being confirmed. According to Variety James Foley has been officially offered the job and it sounds like its basically a done deal.
