Fifty Shades Darker fans can rejoice! Filming has begun on the second movie in the EL James best-selling trilogy. Earlier this week, she jumped on her Instagram account and posted a Good Luck shout out to the cast and crew on day one of filming.
Newcomer Eric Johnson (Jack Hyde) also posted to his Instagram account from set.
Not only did we get those sneak peeks, but we also have gotten our first glimpse of Johnson, dressed in character heading to the set. For those who don’t know Johnson’s role, he portrays Anastasia’s (Dakota Johnson) boss and rival to Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan).
Dakota Johnson was seen arriving on set at the same time, so they must be filming their first scenes together. Rumor has it that Dornan will be shooting his scenes beginning in March.
After filming of the second movie in the series, it is said that they will continue to finish the last of the trilogy Fifty Shades Freed. For the first time, we will see both Grey and Steele face battles. Steele and her jealousy over Grey’s past lovers, while Grey battles his inner demons. We will have to wait and see if there is a change to the way this movie is handled considering there is not only new directing (James Foley has taken over for Sam Taylor-Johnson) but there is also new writing, with the addition of Niall Leonard, husband of author James.
The movie is slated to be released in theaters on February 10, 2017.
