Is Angelina Jolie Going To Direct The ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Movie?
Posted on June 08, 2012 at 11:00 AM
Deadline.com reported that Angelina Jolie is “considering” following up her directorial debut with the movie adaptation of the bestselling novel, ‘Fifty Shades of Grey.’ However, Angelina’s said to be focused on ‘Maleficent’ so she won’t seriously consider any other projects at the moment.
Entertainment Weekly, however, calls this report “bogus.” Sources “close to the project” told EW that this isn’t true for several reasons, among them being that they haven’t even set up a producer yet (E.L. James and her agent are scheduled to travel to Hollywood shortly so they can be involved in all of that), and they are all eager to get started on a film adaptation ASAP to capitalize on the ‘Fifty Shades’ trilogy’s popularity, while Angelina won’t be available for a while.
What do you think of the idea of Angelina directing the movie? I could see her directing it, but the scheduling issue alone that EW mentioned makes sense to me as a real barrier, too.
