For avid readers of E.L. James, Fifty Shades of Grey book series, it feels like a lifetime has passed whilst waiting for the third erotic novel, Fifty Shades Freed, to be adapted for the big screen. But, that wait is finally over…
The first teaser trailer has now been released, in preparation for the highly anticipated final film, which will hit cinemas on Valentines Day 2018. The one minute clip has only been available for 24 hours, but the internet is already at breaking point as fans share their excitement and speculate on the seductive scenes shown in the action packed teaser. Valentines Day has never looked so good…
Teasing is the franchises speciality, so it is hardly surprising that the first glimpse of the final film is dripping with suspense and seduction. The clip briefly shows the wedding of Anastasia Steel (Dakota Johnson) and Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan), before whisking you away on their honeymoon, via a private jet, of course.
However, the steamy scenes soon turn dark as the whips and chains are swapped for guns and violence. Things are heating up, but not in the way you’d expect…
The sensual scenes are interrupted by the crack of gun fire as Christian wields a pistol and, the usually timid Anastasia fires a shot. Just as your heart begins to race, the teaser ends in a flash, as Anastasia’s former boss, Jack Hyde, holds a knife to her throat. The foreplay is firmly over and the games are just about to start…
The official trailer for the film, which is set to debut on Valentines Day 2018, will be released in November. For now, the teaser trailer is aptly on brand, leaving fans desperate for more…
The film is set to push the Fifty Shades of Grey film trilogy into a billion dollar franchise, after the first two films Fifty Shades of Grey and Fifty Shades Darker grossed $949.8 million worldwide. Meaning that it will sit proudly alongside major franchises such as Jurassic Park, Star Wars and Harry Potter.
As with any huge franchise there has been a constant murmur online from fans, as they try to decipher what the third film has to offer. In the build up to the teaser trailers release, fan accounts on Twitter were shared behind-the-scenes photographs, taken during filming last year, in an attempt to piece together the storyline.
Whilst the plot of Fifty Shades Freed, which was released in 2012, won’t be a mystery to anyone who has read the book, it is certainly still provoking much excitement with fans. The book sold two million copies in the U.K. alone and entered the New York Times best seller list at number three. Fifty Shades Freed is certainly not going to be totally eclipsed by the two books that came before it! So buckle up, it’s time to take a ride (in a luxury sports car, naturally)…
Fifty Shades Freed was filmed back-to-back with the second film in the franchise, Fifty Shades Darker, which has only helped but increase anticipation for the films release. However, desperate fans will have to wait another five months for the final installment. In the mean time, lets take a look at what Fifty Shades Freed has to offer…
The trailer for Fifty Shades Freed appears to show Anastasia in control, as opposed to Christian. Could it be that she is about to become the dominant figure? There have been many negative reviews of the book series and films, which have branded the franchise misogynistic. Is the final film going to prove these reviews wrong?
The reactions to the teaser trailer, however, are mixed. Many can barely contain themselves until next February, whilst others are hoping that the day never comes. Since the very beginning, the franchise has firmly divided the world. You quite simply either love it, or hate it. However, it would appear that most are firm lovers, with the franchise amassing a small fortune and cementing itself as one of the most popular in modern times.
To highlight just how popular Fifty Shades of Grey is, here are the all important numbers, which really show just how popular it is…
