The “Fifty Shades...” cast got a taste of a little celebration when they got together to celebrate the 30th birthday of fellow cast member, Luke Grimes. Luke, like Jamie Dornan has been a regularly watched face on the television as he appeared in the television series, “True Blood” and “Brothers & Sisters”. The actor, celebrated his birthday on the 21st of this month with fellow cast members. Rita Ora, Max Martini, Marcia Gay Harden and the author of the trilogy, Erica James were all present at Yaletown restaurant to have some food and peach schnapps and celebrate his birthday in a good old fashion with food and drinks and of course plenty of snaps.
It was Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden, who circulated the snaps through her Twitter account and now that the actor is a part of the film that has got everybody talking, he can expect glorious things to come his way, in his career of course. The now 30 year old actor plays the role of Elliot Grey in the movie version of “Fifty Shades....” and is the adopted brother of the self made billionaire Christian Grey. Incidentally, Luke aka Elliott falls for Kate Kavanagh, who happens to be the best friend and the roommate of Anastasia Steele, the same girl, Christian Grey falls for and eventually develops a relationship with.
Eventually, in the course of the trilogy, both the brothers get married to their love interests, but that happens over the course of the next two novels, which, chances are, you might not get a taste of in this movie adaptation, as this one concentrates on the first novel itself. Though there were rumours that this movie will see an amalgamation of all the three novels, and this rumour was sparked when news surfaced that the cast and the production team was heading to Spain, especially the Canary Islands to shoot the honeymoon scenes. Now for anyone who has read the trilogy, he/she knows that the honeymoon scenes occur only in the third novel of the trilogy.
The fans were not only disheartened, but also deeply saddened that their favourite trilogy will not be made into three films, as it had been proposed. The author, however, was quick to banish these rumours and took to Twitter to announce that the novels will individually be adapted into three separate movies. Quick on the heels of this announcement the shooting started rolling and now the cast and the crew is busy shooting important sequences which include Ana and Grey’s chance encounter in the hardware store called Clayton’s, where, incidentally Ana works part time and Grey ventures to the store to buy his ‘essentials’ like masking tape, cables and ropes.
