How can a gr8 movie become the WORST ... Recast it 4+ w/ Digital Avatars


f she is the director of a movie that was already released prior with different Directors is it safe to ask is Sam Taylor-Johnson (a female) jut she just a name or is she copying and crediting herself for someone else's work? Maybe that was the problem a female director ... its hard to screw up a great movie but she managed to do it. AMAZING

The reason for the low ratings is its a fraction of the movie it could be with the right actors playing the roles ...

Its a pretty terrible and flawed system that created a movie that allowed now upwards of 4+ actors all to be allowed to call themselves Christian Grey

1)Matthew Bomer : To be released in the Los Angeles area and Calabasas February 2013 but was recast and shot 1 month or less before release date

2)Charlie Hunnam : Rumored

3)T.J Dalrymple : I just saw his name on a poster in pinterest so its a new one to me.

4)Jaime Dornan : The final decsion after months of looking for just the right guy. The first movie 50 shades of Grey released Valentine Weekend in 2015. The 2nd movie 50 shades darker is scheduled for release in 2017. He Costarred with Dakota Johnson both no name beginers who were all wrong for each other and the attraction just wasn't there it felt almost forced and they were way to young and naive to play that kind of role... and the fact that she so closely resembled my younger sister Lauren (a one woman guy who married her boyfriend Jayson after 10 years and now I have a very adorable nephew Jaxson but it kind of makes me freak out a little when he was conceived during the filming of this version of the movie and born about 3 weeks before it came out in theaters (him 1/19/15 , the move 2/14/15) in a movie I felt that was made for me and a relationship that broke down all my defenses (in a good way) then came the part in the movie when she was negotiating the contract and she was very against fisting and said no way, well one of the most off the charts nights I can remember involved me on my bed him with a camera standing over me fisting me and being totally out of control with desire wanting him to stop but not because I was scared of such intense pleasure.

Then there's the character that played Elliot Grey in the version I saw with Jaime Dornan and who was a billion times hotter than Jaime and who I believe may have actually been the original Luke Grimes ... in the scene where Anna and Christian walk in and find her roommate with Elliot on the couch then they both go to leave and Elliot says "laters baby"to the roommate (hot) and Christian follows saying the same thing to Anna (weird and forced) which is why I never understood why the line was so famous with the movie... actually to me it triggered a longing for the guy who always told me to be good before leaving and I always promised him I would try.

Susparr- Well, THAT explains a lot!!! So, this time, even tho "Fifty" WAS a box office hit, they still got together and ruined Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson for the fun of it?
Not that even one soul cares, but I really think Jamie and Dakota got a rotten deal. To be honest I thought the acting did lack a bit of expertise, but perhaps that is more the director's or the script writer's fault. J and D did NOT fail as miserably as The Razzies would have you believe. I thought there was plenty of "chemistry" that everyone has gone on about and I thought Jamie's American accent was spot on. Frankly, I have an excellent ear for phonetics and I'm able to discern errors in pronunciation. There was one time I heard Jamie say, "I'll 'woke' you out." Other than that, Jamie's West Coast accent was perfect. Good grief, he spent how many years living in California! Maybe if the director had done a better job, Jamie's performance would have come off better. I've read what Jamie tried to do with the character and I thought it was very sensible. Christian is a broken man, unable to "emote" anything other than anger and the will to control the world around him. He could not show Ana tenderness or understanding or anything resembling love, since love was not an emotion or a feeling he allowed himself to receive or give, it's understandable that he may appear to be "wooden."
