It seems EL James won’t be writing the screenplay for the Fifty Shades Of Grey sequel after all – but her husband will.
The author was widely rumoured to be taking charge of the screenplay, following the departure of screenwriter Kelly Marcel and director Sam Taylor-Wood from the franchise.
James had managed to negotiate an almost unprecedented level of creative control over the film, with final approval over what went in the script.
But while James won’t be taking charge of the script for Fifty Shades Darker, she’s keeping it in the family by enlisting her husband instead.
