SINGAPORE — Fifty Shades of Grey author E L James has announced that British director Sam Taylor-Johnson will direct the movie version of her best-seller.
“I’m delighted & thrilled to let you guys know that Sam Taylor-Johnson has agreed to direct the film of Fifty Shades of Grey,” James said in a tweet.
The erotic romance novel traces the relationship between billionaire Christian Grey and student Anastasia Steele. It is the first of three books in the Fifty Shades trilogy, which has been translated into 50 languages and sold more than 70 million copies worldwide.
Taylor-Johnson, who is married to Kickass actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, is best known for directing Nowhere Boy, a film chronicling John Lennon’s formative years.
In a statement, she said she is “excited to be charged with the evolution of Fifty Shades of Grey from page to screen”.
“For the legions of fans, I want to say that I will honour the power of Erika’s book and the characters of Christian and Anastasia. They are under my skin too.”
