Fifty Shades of Grey sets up shop for saucy scene in Ladner

With fans and followers of the erogenous thriller “Fifty Shades of Grey” waiting eagerly for the film version to hit screens on the 13th of February 2015, and the shooting also underway in Canada, setting up the hardware store on the set was only a matter of time. If you have already read the novels, or not, you would know that the hardware store, which is called Clayton’s in the novel, serves as an important setting and location in both the novel and the movie.

 Having already shot the crucial ‘contract scene’ and the ‘cafe scene’ in Vancouver, the team of “Fifty Shades....” is now ready to shoot the hardware store scene on Ladner. The scene will be the second meeting between Ana and Grey, their first meeting being the interview that the naive college graduate had to take on behalf of her roommate Kate being sick. Clayton’s and Ana are also linked as the hardware store serves as her place of employment, part-time so what. In the novel, Erica James writes the scene describing how the self made billionaire and BDSM fetishist, Christian Grey goes to the shop looking to buy masking tape, rope and cable ties.

The scene follows the first interaction that the protagonists have with each other when the college graduate and virginal beauty Anastasia Steele had gone to take his interview on behalf of her friend and roommate Kate, who was supposed to take his interview, but could not as she was indisposed. In the novel, Clayton’s is located in the Portland area and the team of “Fifty Shades...” is busy recreating the ambience of this hardware store in Vancouver. Though now it is clear that the director of this venture, Sam Taylor-Johnson is not shooting the scenes in the order they appear in the novel, any scene that she shoots, along with the cast and the crew, will always be the focal point of movie lovers and the lovers of “Fifty Shades...”

Is Kristin Chenoweth Joining The 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Cast?

When we heard that the Tony and Primetime Emmy Award winning actress, Kristin Chenoweth was seen at the Vancouver airport, and was rumoured to be a part of the cast of “Fifty Shades of Grey”, we just had to find out more. After all, with a movie adaptation like that of “Fifty Shades of Grey”, where cast changes, entries and exits seem to be the order of the day, adding or subtracting a celebrity name here and there, is no problem. Not that we are complaining, it would not harm if in fact, a multifaceted talent like Kristin Chenoweth was indeed a part of the adaptation.
But on delving deep into the real reason of her appearance on the sets of the film shooting we found out something completely unexpected. Instead of being a cast of the movie adaptation of the raunchy and erotic thriller written by Erica James, Chenoweth is there to support her boyfriend! Now, you must be wondering, who is the lucky guy and do we know him? We do know, but he does not appear in front of the camera as much as he is useful and important behind the scenes. He is Dana Brunetti, who serves as one of the producers of the adaptation. Now can you guess how important a role he has to play in the scheme of things? After all, he is one of the producers and Kristin as the producer’s girl will definitely have first hand access to all shooting details.
The actress and singer is so fond of the trilogy that she has openly admitted that anything related to Christian Grey is fine with her. She was of course talking about a favourite she has, that she would love to see being shot. The actress and singer, known for her role in “Glee” on television and “Steel Pier” and “Wicked” on Broadway will stop by the sets of “Glee” to celebrate the 100th episode of the television series. Kristin Chenoweth is not the only celebrity who has been rumoured to be a part of the film adaptation of the novel written by E.L. James.
British T.V. actor Charlie Hunnam was the first actor to be selected as the BDSM loving self made billionaire, Christian Grey, first. But after he walked out of the project, citing his commitment to his T.V. series, “Sons of Anarchy”, many known faces were up for grabs to play the role of the businessman with a penchant for pain induced pleasure. The likes of Ryan Gosling, Robert Pattinson, Ian Somerhalder, and Matt Bomer among others were considered for the role. And not only the student, the role of the teacher (figuratively, of course) is still undecided.
If you are wondering how and when did 50 Shades Movie become a teacher-student saga, let us assure you that we are referring to the character of Mrs. Robinson, who, in the novel is Grey’s confidante, make that a much older confidante, (for she was also Grey’s mother’s friend), and introduced him to the dark pleasures of BDSM. It was rumoured earlier on in the casting process that she would be played by the likes of Katie Holmes and Rose McGowan; we are still waiting for a confirmation.
