Here’s the thing: the first movie categoricallyisn’tgood, nor is its sexual content particularly taboo-straining, but it wasn’t an abomination — that came later with Fifty Shades Darker and Freed, the latter of which urged its fans “not to miss the climax.” The experience of watching it was altogether flaccid.
However, this is the crucial bit: each one was a box office success, grossing more than $1.3 billion across all three films. So, hasNetflixgreen-lit anynew moviesthat go beyond the source material?
Weirdly, there’s no single source responsible for making people believe a new film is coming out this year. There’s been a smattering of fake posters across Facebook in recent weeks, all claiming that Johnson and Dornan will reprise their roles for a Netflix fourthquel —it isn’t true.
There were only three books in the original series, with James also writing “Told By Christian” versions of the same stories. However, it seems like the author is happy taking a break from Christian Grey, who she described as “utterly exhausting” while promoting The Missus, her sequel to The Mister.
But let’s pivot to the films that actually exist…
