Universal Pictures has finally released a teaser trailer for the upcoming erotic flick "Fifty Shades of Grey," which is based on E.L. James' novel with the same name. The story focuses on Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and Anastasia Steele's (Dakota Johnson) kinky and twisted romance. Ana is a virginal college student who falls in love with Christian, a rich billionaire who secretly enjoys BDSM.
Fans fell in love and enjoyed the freaky sex scenes between Christian and Ana as well as their growing relationship. The book is known for being racy and fans hoped the movie would be able to live up to that expectation.
Well, it seems like the trailer is receiving mixed reviews. Universal unveiled a five-minute clip at CinemaCon on Tuesday, Mar. 25 which mainly featured the two main characters. According to the Los Angeles Times, the clip focused more on the romance side of Christian and Ana's relationship instead of the sex.
"Based on the roughly five minutes of footage Universal unveiled, the movie seemed far more tame than the steamy, S&M-heavy book it's based on," the LA Times wrote. "Though Anastasia was shown blindfolded, as well as being pushed up against a wall by Christian, the teaser featured very little sex."
The clip started with Ana and Christian meeting at Grey Enterprises when she was sent to interview him for the school newspaper, the LA Times reports. There is an immediate attraction between the two and the college student gushes to a friend that the CEO is "smart, intense and courteous."
According to Entertainment Weekly, the scene at Clayton's Hardware Store and Charlie Tango is also featured in the teaser. Besides the two main characters, Ana's mom (played by Jennifer Ehle) and Ana's best friend/roommate Kate Kavanagh (Eloise Mumford) are also seen in the clip.
Hopefully Universal Pictures will release the clip to the public soon.
