15. Directors exits
Taylor-Johnson didn’t return to the franchise, at least in part because of her problems working with James – who exercised as much creative control as possible, and even brought in her husband. Niall Leonardto write the script for the sequels Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed.
“We’d have real Barneys on the set,” Taylor-Johnson recalled in 2015 from Porter magazine. “I’m not confrontational, but it was about finding a way between the two of us and fulfilling her vision of what she wrote and my need to visualize this person on screen.”
She also told The Hollywood Reporter in 2015 that James “would also be the first to say it wasn’t easy. It wasn’t easy. But we got there. I think we both found it was an incredibly painful one Process.” James said in an appearance on MSNBC that “people are going to get into each other, and that’s exactly what happened”.
When Taylor-Johnson opened the Sunday Times magazine in 2017, she said she had no regrets making the film per se, “because it would just knock me out. Would I go over it again in retrospect? Of course I wouldn’t. I would be mad. “
She continued, “I like everyone, and I’m really confused when they don’t like me. I was so confused by EL James. I don’t understand when I can’t navigate a person when there is no synergy. ”
