1. That there were some scenes that even Jamie & Dakota weren’t comfortable with
They may have signed up for a movie whose focal point was BDSM, but there were some scenes involving a tampon that had even Jamie & Dakota putting their foot down. “There’d be stuff that makes sense in the book, and makes sense on the page, that won’t translate on screen,” rued Jamie while Dakota chose the diplomatic route with, “There will people who will be disappointed that that scene’s not in there… but personally, I’m pretty happy that that scene didn’t make the cut.”
2. That Angelina Jolie was offered the chance to direct the movie
Whoa. We don’t even know whether to be deliriously happy or sad that she turned it down.
3. That Jamie was made to visit a sex dungeon to prepare for his role as the sex-obsessed CEO
All for research purposes, of course. Nudge nudge, wink wink.
4. That Jamie was adamant against full frontal nudity
In fact, he even went as far as to add a clause in his contract forbidding full frontal nudity. Uh oh, guess even method acting has its limits.
5. That Fifty Shades isn’t the first major motion picture to be born out of fan fiction.
Sorry Christian Grey fans, but the 2013 sci-fi film, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones got there first.
6. That E L James never wanted to cast Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson as the leads
Contrary to popular belief, the author never wanted to cast the lead couple of the Twilight series which gave birth to her fanfiction. Our faith in universe hence restored.
7. That the movie smashed box office records in the first week of its release
Oh wait, this probably doesn’t qualify as something you didn’t know about the movie; given the record number of views that its very trailer generated, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the movie has raked in $8.17 million in its first week.
