A. L. James seized control of the sequel to "50 shades of gray"
Do not cease the news from the fields of "Fifty shades." The first flurry of publications and audience reviews about the film subsided a bit, but we were immediately reminded that there was a lot of interesting things ahead, as they say. According to Variety, the author of the book, E. L. James, decided to fully take the continuation of the film into his own hands and write his own script.

James unscrewed the hands of Universal Studios, securing even the opportunity to decide how the main characters will look on the screen.

However, the lack of experience does not bother her. How much time it takes for a writer to write a script and what will come of it, we just have to find out.
Whether we see Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan in the continuation of the film is still unknown - but it seems they have no particular choice. Obviously, they will have to accept the situation and have patience.
