First trailer for Sam Taylor-Johnson’s Fifty Shades of Grey teases the kink

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Break out the whips and handcuffs: the first trailer for FIFTY SHADES OF GREY has been released, giving us a good look at Sam Taylor-Johnson's adaptation of the E.L. James erotic romance novel starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan. Apparently the trailer was too hot for NBC's The Today Show, since a sanitized version also aired on the show this morning. While there isn't anything too raunchy in this first trailer, the last couple of seconds are probably NSFW.

"I don't do romance."

Fans of the book have been very vocal about Jamie Dornan playing Christian Grey, and he does come off as a little wooden and bland in the trailer. In fact, for a movie featuring elements of BDSM, the trailer is kind of boring. However, this is only the first trailer, so things might heat up in future looks at the upcoming film. Do you have any interest at all in seeing FIFTY SHADES OF GREY after watching the trailer?

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY also stars Marcia Gay Harden, Vicktor Rasuk, Max Martini, Jennifer Ehle, and Callum Keith Rennie, and it will be in theaters on February 13, 2015.
