Fifty Shades of Grey is moving closer and closer to the big screen.
On Tuesday, it was announced thatMichael De Luca and Dana Brunetti, who produced The Social Network, will re-team to bring the bestselling “mommy porn” novel to cinematic life.
The film is being made for Universal, which purchased the rights to E L James’ trilogy back in March.
“At its core, Fifty Shades of Grey is a complex love story, requiring a delicate and sophisticated hand to bring it to the big screen,” said the studio in a statement. “Mike and Dana’s credits more than exemplify what we need in creative partners, and we’re glad to have them as part of our team.”
James herself is also pleased with the decision.
The author says she’s “thrilled that Mike has joined Team Fifty. He brings a passion for and in-depth understanding of the characters and story and a wealth of experience in making quality films.
Fifty Shades centers on the intense, dominant-submissive erotic relationship between a college student named Anastasia Steele and young billionaire Christian Grey.
Rumors about casting (Ian Somerhalder, Alexander Skarsgard, etc.) have been flying for months, but no one has yet been picked to fill the lead roles.
But with producers in place, those decisions will now start to happen.
