One of the most anticipated sequels out this year is James Foley’s follow-up to Sam Taylor-Johnson’s knee-trembler Fifty Shades of Grey starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan. On Valentine’s Day we’re in for a deeper tone of love and pain with Fifty Shades Darker, and a new trailer has made its way out into the wild today.

Following the much-hyped first film Johnson made quite an impression in Luca Guadagnino’s A Bigger Splash while Dornan continued his terrifying role in The Fall on the BBC with Gillian Anderson and the World War II drama Anthropoid with Cillian Murphy. With a fandom to rival that of Messrs. Potter and Everdeen the Fifty Shades bandwagon keeps on rolling, and all eyes will be on the latest installment to see how the peptic chemistry between the two leads has evolved.

Glengarry Glen Ross director James Foley directs Niall Leonard’s adaptation of E. L. James’ second book in her lauded trilogy. Foley will also be returning for Fifty Shades Freed, the final book in the trilogy.
