If you were disappointed that the first movie didn't have enough class or flamboyance, it looks like Darker is set to tart things up a bit. An early shot shows Christian and Anastasia attending a masquerade ball of some kind.

A quick scan of the book's plot summary (because we haven't read it, obviously) suggests that the two are attending a party thrown by Christian's adoptive parents, and the visual is giving off a distinctly weird, Eyes Wide Shut-esque vibe.

It could all end up with a kinky orgy, though if it sticks to the book, it'll basically just introduce the character of Elena Lincoln and serve as an excuse for some ornate visuals.
