Fans of the erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey got their first look at the upcoming big screen adaptation on Thursday.
Universal Pictures released an official trailer for the hotly anticipated film, which stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan and is set to open just in time for Valentine’s Day, on February 13, 2015.
The film was originally set to be released August 1, 2014, but casting lead character Christian Grey was tripped up when Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam pulled out of the role six weeks after being cast.
The novel Fifty Shades of Grey, about a passionate relationship between literature student Anastasia Steele and the wealthy and mysterious entrepreneur, Christian Grey, was written by British author E.L. James and published in 2011. It became a cultural phenomenon, spawning offshoots and parodies.
The film is directed by Sam Taylor-Wood.
