It is, so they have vanilla sex, and everything is going great-with boat rides and masked balls and makeover montages-until … well, until all kinds of things, so many, many, MANY things-old lovers, a shady business deal, PTSD flashbacks, an attempted sexual assault, a helicopter careening out of control-intervene. He’s even willing to go “vanilla” if that’s her preference.
Was Hannah the only name available?)Ĭhristian wants Anastasia back. (Side note: another assistant in the office is named “Hannah” and so we are treated to multiple scenes with variations of: “Good night Anna.” “Good night, Hannah.” “Hannah, how are you?” “I’m fine, Anna.” etc. Her boss ( Eric Johnson) is a leering entitled predator who makes Christian look manageable by comparison. Anastasia now works as an assistant editor in a small publishing house. “Fifty Shades Darker” picks up shortly after that.
Would Anastasia sign Christian’s Byzantine contract of sexual consent? Would she agree to “anal fisting”? Tune in next week! That film ended with a sex game gone wrong, and Anastasia realizing that S&M actually involved, you know, pain.

Christian and Anastasia have subtext-free conversations, where Anastasia murmurs howlers such as, “So you pick women who look like your mother?” with a straight face.

There's a lot of inadvertently hilarious stuff in "Fifty Shades Darker," directed by James Foley (and he'll be directing the final installment too, "Fifty Shades Freed”), with Johnson and Dornan back as star-crossed lovers Anastasia and Christian, respectively. Did the set decorator put the poster there to add texture? Backstory? Whatever the intent, having "Riddick" loom as the background image in a desperately serious, post-coital conversation was inadvertently hilarious. Looming behind his head on the wall is a gigantic " Riddick" poster. James’ " Fifty Shades of Grey" juggernaut, was a "Chronicles of Riddick" fan? In a scene in "Fifty Shades Darker," the sequel to "Fifty Shades of Grey," Christian ( Jamie Dornan) sits in his childhood bedroom and tentatively opens up to his girlfriend Anastasia ( Dakota Johnson). Who would have guessed that, when he was a boy, Christian Grey, the controlling, sexually sadistic bazillionaire at the center of E.L.
