Angelina Jolie could be directing the film adaptation of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’

It hasn’t been all that long since EL James’ best-selling novel ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ became mandatory pervy reading for bored housewives, but Universal has already paid seven figures for the movie rights and is in talks with Angelina Jolie to direct. Not bad for a book that started out as online Twilight erotic fan fiction.

The plot traces the relationship between recent college graduate, Anastasia Steele, and manipulative billionaire, Christian Grey. Steele is required by Grey to sign a contract allowing him complete control over her life as well as a non-disclosure agreement, something that he’s required from all of his previous submissives. Upon learning that she is a virgin, Grey agrees to have sex with her in order to prepare her for later encounters, fully intending that the contract would be signed. As she gets to know him, she learns that his sexual tastes involve bondage, domination, and sadism, and that childhood abuse left him a deeply damaged individual. In order to be his partner, she agrees to experiment with BDSM, but struggles to reconcile who she is (a virgin who has never previously had a boyfriend) with whom Christian wants her to be, his submissive and a to-do-with-as-he-pleases partner in his “Red Room of Pain”.
