The first full trailer for “Fifty Shades Darker” has been released, and it teases lots of steamy secrets.
The “Fifty Shades of Grey” sequel, based on E.L. James‘ book of the same name, continues to follow the erotic adventures of Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) and business magnate Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan).
“This time, no rules, no punishments,” Ana says in the trailer. “And no more secrets.”
James Foley is directing the second installment, while Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti return to produce alongside James.
The “Fifty Shades” book series blossomed into a global phenomenon, and the first film in the franchise grossed more than $560 million worldwide, despite being largely panned by critics and audiences.
Last year, Universal Pictures released a 30-second teaser in which Christian Grey is putting on a tuxedo in front of a mirror. He then dons a black masquerade mask as the scene quickly changes from color to black and white.
Niall Leonard, the husband of the “Fifty Shades of Grey” author, was tapped to write the film adaptation of the sequel after original screenwriter Kelly Marcel and director Sam Taylor-Johnson bowed out.
“Fifty Shades Darker” will hit theaters on Feb. 10 next year, while “Fifty Shades Freed” is scheduled for February 9, 2018.
