‘Fifty Shades Darker’ a darker film — Author

-

“FIFTY Shades Darker”, the sequel to the 2015 hit “Fifty Shades of Grey”, promises to be a darker experience for viewers, both the cast and producer of the film agreed at the film’s premiere in Britain.

“It does have darker elements,” said producer E.L. James. “We have people trying to split up the couple, we learn about why Christian is the way he is, so, yes, it is darker.”

James is also the author of the trilogy of erotic romance books on which the films are based, which were wildly popular when published in 2011 and 2012.

In “Fifty Shades Darker”, protagonis­ts Anastasia Steele and Christian Gray reconcile and start their relationsh­ip afresh. However, the couple are forced to confront Christian’s inner demons and other people threatenin­g to tear them apart. “Fifty Shades Darker” began its global rollout on Feb 8. Meanwhile, the latest tune to complement the “Fifty Shades” sequel has been unleashed, described by Vulture as a “curiously tranquil contributi­on” to the film’s tracklist. The title of the duet by Nick Jonas and Nicki Minaj, dubbed “Bom Bidi Bom,” already differenti­ates it from the first song to go viral from the movie “Fifty Shades Darker” — the emotionall­y-charged “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” featuring Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik. Relaxed and mellow by comparison, this new song sees Jonas boasting about his sexual prowess, with Minaj in agreement, and ends with a few lines from the female rapper about a man who can “hit her bull’s eye.”— Reuters/Relaxnews
