Fifty Shades of Grey is an absolute disaster, and we all know it. It’s making a killing at the box office, sure, but there hasn’t been a single positive review for it – it’s awful, the end. With this in mind, and given all the unrest that happened between Fifty Shades‘ author EL James and the movie’s director Sam Taylor-Johnson, it’s no surprise to hear that the franchise will need to be looking for a new director for the second and third movie.
“Sam won’t be back for the Fifty Shades sequels. She wants out and Universal knows that’s the right decision.
“Her relationship with Erika has become absolutely toxic – they despise each other and blame each other for the problems with the film.”
The source continued: “All the biggest arguments were about the sex scenes in the film.
“Erica wanted the movie to be loyal to the book and much more explicit.
“But Sam pushed back because she wanted the movie to be more than just a collection of S&M scenes.”
Or, you know, maybe Sam Taylor-Johnson knows she’s got even less hope of being taken seriously as a director if she stays in with this shitty franchise?
Probably the funniest thing is all the series fans who have come out of the movie realizing what utter garbage it is, but they’re so unwilling to admit that they liked utter garbage that I’ve heard literally dozens of people being like, “Well, it was just the first one. The second and third will totally be better because the story is better then!”
Uh, the story is glorified domestic violence with no bearing on actual BDSM, but kewl, keep telling yourself that and wasting your money.
I’ve seen a few positive reviews of the movie, many bad reviews. I’ve seen mostly positive reviews for Dakota and 100% negative reviews for Jamie Dornam. I won’t be seeing it in any case.
