The movie "Fifty Shades of Grey" had captured the attention of the crowd with its intriguing plot and sexy scenes. Now, it is finally making a comeback with "Fifty Shades Darker."

According to Cosmopolitan, the fans can expect something new from the upcoming two sequels of the franchise as the filmmakers are doing their best to make some improvements in terms of the film's production.

In the previous months, there were news and rumors going in circles regarding the relationship of those who are involved in making the first part of the trilogy. The first big problem that they faced was the sudden decision of Director Sam Taylor-Johnson to quit.

Then, several news and rumors came in that both Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan, the lead actress and actor of the trilogy, respectively, also caused some problems.

It is stated by previous news from The Hollywood Take that Johnson and Dornan had to do a lot of retakes for their sex scenes due to the fact that the two don't have any chemistry at all. The two stars received a lot of criticisms due to lack of chemistry during press and even after the film opened.

Despite the issue, the movie still became a big hit, gathering over $550 million in ticket sales. With the forthcoming sequels, the fans are more than happy to know that they will be seeing the pair again together in the big screen.

According to Design&Trend, the second and third installments of "The Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy will be shot back-to-back in the early 2016. The "Fifty Shades Darker" is scheduled to be released on Feb. 10, 2017 while the "Fifty Shades Freed" will start shown on Feb. 9, 2018.

Since Taylor-Johnson had already pulled out, it will be director James Foley, the director of "House of Cards," who will direct both sequels.

In the "The Fifty Shades Darker," Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele will go through brand new relationship challenges. It has also been revealed that there will be at least three new characters that will be introduced in this installment. These are Leila Williams, Jack Hyde and Mrs. Robinson. It is still unknown as to who will portray these characters as none of them have been casted yet.

On the other hand, the "Fifty Shades Freed" will focus more on the female protagonist discerning whether it is the right thing to continue her relationship with Christian Grey or not.

There is already a teaser trailer for the "Fifty Shades Darker." However, it shows not that much aside from Christian Grey putting on a masquerade mask.
