10 Things You Need To Know About Fifty Shades Of Grey
10. There's No Full Frontal Nudity
In a recent interview for the movie, Christian Grey himself, Jamie Dornan let slip that the movie wouldn't be featuring any full frontal male nudity, declaring, "You want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible without grossing them out. You don't want to make something gratuitous and ugly and graphic." Uh, isn't the entire appeal of a Fifty Shades movie that it's totally gratuitous and graphic? Plus, what's "gross" about the nude human form? Are the people planning to see this movie really going to start giggling uncontrollably if a penis or vagina shows up on screen? It is, of course, safe to assume that if the movie won't be showing Dornan in the buff, then there won't be any explicit glimpses of Dakota Johnson's nether-regions either, which will either be artfully shot-around, or as is common, covered by a little pubic hair. Still, given that the movie is clearly being marketed to imply a full-on sex-fest with graphic nude imagery, Universal likely weren't too happy with Dornan downplaying the steamy content. If a studio is making what will probably amount to little more than a series of softcore sex scenes showing off just a bit of boob and bum, why would people pay $15 when they can just load up RedTube and see more explicit content for free?
