Less than one month after it was revealed that
Sam Taylor-Johnson will not direct the
Fifty Shades of Grey sequel, the follow-up film's scriptwriter has been announced?and
E.L. James is keeping it in the family. The
Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy author has enlisted husband
Niall Leonard to pen the script for the forthcoming film
Fifty Shades Darker , which will once again star
Jamie Dornan
as Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele.
Producer Michael De Luca said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter--which was first to report the news--"Niall is an outstanding writer in his own right, with multiple established credits, and we are lucky to have him join Team Fifty."
Leonard, who has two children with his wife of over 20 years, is already an established author and screenwriter, having written for various British TV shows including Air Force One Is Down and Wire in the Blood; he has also penned novels such as Crusher, Incinerator and Shredder.??
