    E.L. James Wants to Write Script for 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Sequel


    E.L. James may play bigger part in the follow-up to "Fifty Shades of Grey". According to a Thursday, February 19 report by Variety, the author wants bigger control over the movie by writing the script for the sequel herself. The upcoming movie will be based on her book "Fifty Shades Darker".

    According to sources, Universal studios has not announced the greenlight for the sequel because they're still discussing details with James. It is likely that the production for the upcoming movie will start in early 2016.

    Rumor has it, director Sam Taylor-Johnson and screenwriter Kelly Marcel are not coming back for the sequel. Taylor-Johnson previously admitted to clashing with James over details regarding the movie. "It was difficult, I'm not going to lie," Taylor-Johnson told Porter magazine recently. "We definitely fought but they were creative fights and we would resolve them."

    A representative for Universal has responded to the news about James wanting more creative control over the script. "The studio had always intended to sit down with the author after the film opened and discuss next steps and that has not yet happened," the rep told the news outlet.

    "Fifty Shades of Grey" tells the story of a businessman named Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) who is into BDSM. Dakota Johnson plays his girlfriend Ana Steele. The raunchy movie is currently enjoying its success, raking in $311 million worldwide.
