THE saga that is the Fifty Shades of Grey movie continues with the studio behind it ordering The Project to pull a sit-down interview with the two stars.
In a statement to Channel 10 tonight Universal Pictures said it “chose not to release the (film) content because we feel it didn’t give the fans what we know they are looking for. We feel the trailer does that itself.”
The “first look” clip from the movie — due out in February 2015 — was for a story on The Project this Friday night.
Offspring actor and Ten’s favourite new go-to girl Celia Pacquola had talked to the film’s two stars Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, who play billionaire Christian Grey and college student Anastasia Steele, in London.
The film, based on a blockbuster trilogy of a pulpy romance-bondage books by British writer EL James, has been dogged by rumour before the first frame was shot, largely around its casting choices. Sons of Anarchy actor Charlie Hunnam was replaced by the smoother yet lesser known Dornan, who, talk suggests, has little chemistry with Johnson, daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith.
Universal will now release a trailer at midnight on Thursday.
