Long Island, Get Ready to be SPANK!'d


 
The highly anticipated film based on a New York Times #1 bestselling trilogy, Fifty Shades of Grey, will be hitting the cinemas in February 2015. The book focuses around literary student, Anastasia Steele, when she goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey; she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.
Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires (James, 2011).
In the meantime audiences can look forward to the stage version, SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody this November. ..
