Fifty Shades Redux. The sequels to Fifty Shades of Grey started filming in metro Vancouver four months ago in Gastown at Seattle Independent Press (SIP). First at an interior set on Cordova Street and then SIP exteriors on Alexander Street — the famous Fifty Shades Darker walk-and-kiss when Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) gave the Seattle-billionaire-with-singular-tastes Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) a YES key chain, accepting his marriage proposal.

Set dressing is done for tomorrow’s Fifty Shades Freed shoot, with some differences from the March 1st Fifty Shades Darker shoot. For example, Boyce Fox (Tyler Hoechlin)’s novel Purgatory has been published and is promoted in the window. He is the first author Ana signs as editor.

Filming is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fifty Shades trilogy author E.L. James should be on set tomorrow, along with her husband Niall Leonard who wrote the scripts for the sequels and James Foley who directs the back-to-back productions.
The first film in the trilogy, Fifty Shades of Grey, grossed more than half a billion dollars worldwide on an estimated budget of $40 million.
Filming of the sequels started February 16th and is expected to wrap July 6th.
Fifty Shades Darker will be in theatres on February 16, 2017 and Fifty Shades Freed opens a year later on February 9, 2018.
