BDSM Book Series Fifty Shades of Grey Gets a Major Movie Deal

It started off as Twilight fan-fiction (and it reads like it), but now E.L. James' novel Fifty Shades of Grey is now a bona-fide publishing sensation, with Fifty Shades and its sequels, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Free, occupying the top three spots on The New York Times' best-sellers list' the books are referred to as "Mommy porn" thanks to their popularity amongst middle-aged women.

So why should you care? because the Fifty Shades series are pornographic (or "erotic," if you're feeling polite) novels full of explicit, kinky sex scenes- and Universal has bought the movie rights! The movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey, like the book, will tell the story of 21-year-old college student Anastasia Steele, who is initiated into the BDSM lifestyle by an older, dominant businessman named Christian Grey.

No word yet on who will star in the film or how extensively the studios will change the storyline (People Magazine expresses a popular opinion when it says "Anyone who's read even a slice of the steamy trilogy knows that a film wouldn't do the book justice within R-rated territory"), but we're turning fifty shades of purple at the possibilities.
