Sam Taylor-Johnson , whose directorial debut was
2009′s Nowhere Boy about the early life of John Lennon, has
been secured to direct Fifty Shades Of Grey, the sizzling novel
adaptation from Universal Pictures and Focus Features . Fellow Brit
Kelly Marcel has written the script for the movie,
based on EL James’ bestseller that follows the
relationship between 27-year-old billionaire
Christian Grey and college student Anastasia
Steele. Dana Brunetti and Michael De Luca are producing
alongside James. “Sam’s unique ability to gracefully showcase
complex relationships dealing with love, emotion and sexual
chemistry make her the ideal director to bring Christian and
Anastasia’s relationship to life,” said De Luca. “EL James’ characters and vivid
storytelling require a director who is willing to take risks and push the envelope
where needed, and Sam is a natural fit.”
