Outside Ana Steele (Dakota Johnson)’s new apartment in Seattle, her billionaire “boyfriend” Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) surprises her with a new car. He covers her eyes with his right hand as he leads her out to the sidewalk where a bright red Audi is parked. Fifty Shades of Grey crew filmed this scene over and over Thursday night in Gastown at the corner of Powell and Columbia Streets, with a large group of spectators and photographers watching from the other side of the street. Luckily our volatile Vancouver weather cooperated with an unseasonably warm and clear January day.
Postcript: Jamie Dornan is one of the most photogenic people on the planet but so far I have failed to take a decent photo of him as Christian Grey. Fortunately for fans there are zillions of good ones out there.
