Christian went to the bar and found Ana, who passed out. He woke up the next morning in Christian's hotel room, relieved that they were not intimate.

Stephen Amell says he does not want to play Gray's role because "I do not actually think it's so interesting... there's nothing about Christian Gray who really talks to me." Hunnam initially rejected the Christian role but later reconsidered it, after meeting with the head of the studio. Hunnam said about the audition process: "I feel really interested and excited about it so I went and read the first book to get a clearer picture of who this character is, and I feel more excited at the prospect of bringing it to life. Taylor-Johnson and I] suggested that I do the reading with Dakota, which was his favorite, and once we got into the room and I started reading with Dakota, I knew that I would want to do it just as much as the real chemistry between us. feels interesting and fun and strange and alluring. "In response to the negative fan reaction casting, producer Dana Brunetti said:" There are many things that go into not only visible casting, talent, availability, their desire to do so, chemistry with other actors , etc. So if your favorite is not thrown, then most likely because of something on that list it while still hating and keeping perspective. "
During October 2013, actress Jennifer Ehle was in talks for the role of Anastasia Carla's mother.

Rating and censorship
There is initial speculation that the film may receive an NC-17 rating in the United States. Studios typically steer clear of adult ratings simply because of the impact classification has on the film's commercial viability, with some theater chain refusing to show NC-17-rated movies. While screenwriter Marcel says he hopes the film will rank NC-17, producer De Luca anticipates a less restrictive R rating. On January 5, 2015, the MPAA gave the film a R rating, basing its decision on "strong sexual content including dialogue, some unusual behavior and graphic nudity, and language."

In Argentina, the Cinematography Exhibition Advisory Committee (INCAA ranking arm) rated the SAM16/R movie.
The anti-pornography watchdog group Morality in the Media believes that the movie's R ratings "severely undermines the themes of film violence and does not adequately inform parents and customers of movie content", and that the MPAA encourages sexual violence by letting the film by no rating NC -17.
The film is scheduled for release February 12, 2015 in Malaysia, but was denied a certificate by the Malaysian Film Censorship Board (LPF) for its "unnatural" and "sadistic" content. The LPF chairman, Abdul Halim Abdul Hamid, said Fifty Shades is "more pornography than movies." The film is also banned in Indonesia, Kenya, North Caucasus Russia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Papua New Guinea, Cambodia, and India. The film was released in Nigeria for a week, before being removed from theaters by the National Film and Video Censorship Board (NFVCB). The studio will not pursue theatrical release in China.

Campaign opponents

"On February 7, one petition had collected more than 53,000 signatures.
On February 2, in Michigan, a man petitioned to stop the film's launch at the local Celebration! Cinema. Despite the men's efforts, the cinema president refused to cancel the movie's launch.

The American Family Association called for the theater to not show the film: "The irony is not lost that the main character of the film is named, 'Christian,' while the film presents everything but the 'Christian' view of intimacy... It is symbolic of abuse, and we call on all cinema to refuse to promote the abuse on their screen. "
Thomas Williams of Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture commented on the movie's launch in the United States on Valentine's Day, stating "The irony decision of Universal Pictures" to release the slave-erotic film Fifty Shades of Gray on a day dedicated to honoring a Christian martyr overly observed by many observers, who seem to find the choice is not classy at best.
