Base on the book written by British author E. L. James. Set largely in Seattle, it is the first instalment in a trilogy that traces the deepening relationship between a college graduate, Anastasia Steele, and a young business magnate, Christian Grey. It is notable for its explicitly erotic scenes featuring elements of sexual practices involving bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism.
The Fifty Shades trilogy was developed from a Twilight fan fiction originally titled Master of the Universe and published episodically on fan-fiction websites under the pen name "Snowqueens Icedragon". The piece featured characters named after Stephenie Meyer's characters in Twilight, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. After comments concerning the sexual nature of the material, James removed the story from the fan-fiction websites and published it on her own website, FiftyShades.com. Later she rewrote Master of the Universe as an original piece, with the principal characters renamed Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele and removed it from her website prior to publication.
Even though Edward Cullen and Bella Swan aka Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart may have inspired the beginnings of Fifty Shades of Grey, author E L James is not too keen for the two actors to take on the roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in the film adaptation of the bestselling book. She thinks it’s “weird.”
Let's wait and see if this movie can defeat Twilight or even the Hunger Games movies.
