When Kate, Anastasia Steele's classmate, falls ill and asks her to interview a young billionaire, the girl could not have suspected what it would turn out to be for her.

Later, he shows up at the store where Anastasia works and offers her another meeting with him. Having agreed, the girl plunges into the world of all-consuming passion and secret hobbies of the billionaire. The previously innocent student begins to study her inner desires and realize her fantasies. Read more After the publication of the book in 2011, it was only a matter of time to move the plot. Already by the summer of 2012, the novel had gained so much popularity that it was able to beat the popularity of such bestsellers as "Harry Potter" and "Twilight". The very story of the relationship between the main characters originates from an ordinary fan fiction. The most interesting thing is that E. L. James wrote her amateur sketch based on the book "Twilight" with characters by Stephenie Meyer. Preparations for the film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey" began in early 2012, when the potential of the future film was already visible. Even Angelina Jolie was offered to stage this drama with an erotic content, but she refused. During the auditions for the main female role, which eventually went to Dakota Johnson, the candidates had to read a monologue from the film "Person" (1966) by Ingmar Bergman. So you could see how comfortable it would be for the actresses to work on the set. The author of the book "Fifty Shades of Grey" E. L. James herself insisted on the candidacy of Dakota Johnson for the role of Anastasia. But in the main male role, the writer was not against seeing Charlie Hunnam, the star of the series "Sons of Anarchy" and the blockbuster "Pacific Rim". However, Hunnam's schedule was too busy and he declined.
