FIFTY SHADES DARKER EXTENDED TRAILER IS SEXY, SMOULDERING AND SCARY

An extended trailer to Fifty Shades Darker hit our eyeballs on January 2 and it scared the living bejeezuz out of us! With things getting steamier and scarier, February is bound to be the hottest ever on record.

At two minutes in length, we’re really starting to see how Christian’s haunted past is coming full circle with Ana at the center of it. During what is a time when Christian is trying to relinquish his demons, karma is proving that what goes around, comes around.

With new clips featuring Christian and Ana (Jamie and Dakota) as well as Mrs. Robinson, (Kim Basinger) and Leila (Bella Heathcote), things take a frightening turn toward the end and if you haven’t read the trilogy before, you’re in for a treat. (But seriously, if you haven’t read the trilogy yet, what are you waiting for?)

Fifty Shades Darker is a mere thirty five days away, with anticipation and nerves at an all time high. Promo for the film will begin shortly and provide a chaotic month ahead for not only the cast and their families, but for those who have loved this story from the start. it’s been two years since we’ve seen Christian and Ana together, although bitter sweet as it was. We’re ready for more. We need more. Just like Christian.

Cinemas and ticketing agents across North America are already in pre-ticket sales. Local ticket sales have also commenced, however, specific to their locations. Haven’t gotten your tickets yet? Reserve them on Fandango and Cineplex. You can also enter to attend the premier in LA on February 2nd, 2017. But hurry, time is quickly running out! Click here to apply.

WE’RE CRAZY IN LOVE WITH THE NEW FIFTY SHADES DARKER TRAILER

With sixty-six days to go, Fifty Shades debuted a second trailer for the hotly anticipated second installment to the movie franchise, Fifty Shades Darker. With a cluster of new, never-before-seen moments, the trailer has ignited across social media and is a current worldwide trending topic.

Watch the trailer below before we start discussing! (NSFW)

The trailer, released only hours ago shows us more than we were expecting in the 2:29 it runs for. It starts like the last trailer – Christian proclaiming his feelings for Anastasia, five days post-breakup. “I’m not very good at this. I never wanted to try again,” but with Ana, things are different. Christian is different. He sends Ana white roses prior to surprising her at José’s photo exhibit, where he asks her to dinner. “Have dinner with me,” he pleads to which Ana (with her smart mouth) replies “OK fine. I will have dinner with you, because I’m hungry. But we are only talking and that’s it,” which we as readers of the novels know will not be the case. The next scene in which we see Ana paying for meal, much to Christian’s dismay, is not the scene in which they go for dinner after the show but it still showcases the humour that we hoped director James Foley would incorporate from the first film. Ana takes the cheque dropped off by the waiter and adds a subtle “Gotta be quicker than that, Grey,” as she reaches for her wallet.

Kate has returned from her trip to Barbados with Elliot and we can see Ana jumping into her arms at the bar we saw in the first film. Since Kate has been away for most of the unfolding drama, she knows nothing of what’s happened. Kate wraps Ana in her arms and asks “Are you happy?” to which Ana quickly replies “I’ve never been happier.”

Let’s jump to a steamy, romantic dinner between Christian and Ana where things quickly get hot, hot, HOT! Christian, ever the gentleman and always the dominant, leans over the table covered in glasses of wine and fine silver and simply tells Anastasia to “…take ’em off.” At this point, the two have solidified their relationship and are moving forward from the traumatic experiences they both suffered in the first movie. Anastasia complies and deftly removes her panties while remaining at the table. What happens next has all types of bothered. If you’ve read the books, you know that in the next scene that is shown, Christian isn’t being a gentleman, at all! While his fingers deftly ride up the back of Anastasia’s legs in a crowded elevator after dinner, her expression says it all and exactly what Christian is doing with her. We’re then catapulted into the shower scene; a sexy, heated take that find Christian and Ana fully clothed going at it in his extravagant bathroom – a scene a lot of fans were hoping to see! That clip is then followed by the pool scene; not a swimming pool. Ana and Christian are playing the game with cues, after making a bet with each other. The prize?! Sex, in each their own way.

Finally, we get to see some Jack! Eric Johnson who plays Ana’s intrusive new boss at SIP feels compelled to tell Ana his personal feelings towards her new beau. “Your boyfriend has a reputation,” he says, eluding that he may know more about Christian’s past than he leads us to believe. “Do you want to be kept, or have respect,” he whispers to Ana while having her pinned between himself and a door, then watches her stride away. Creepy!

Let’s jump to a new shower scene where Ana is freely touching Christian. This time, they’re not fully clothed but enjoying a shower as they should with each other. Enter Mrs. Robinson. Yes we’ve seen Elena (Kim Basinger) in the previous trailer with a voice over part, but never before have we seen her so abruptly with the voice over now matching her voice. “Do you think you’re the first woman who’s tried to save him,” she asks Ana. “He’s changing. Its not what he wants anymore,” Ana retorts, to which Elena firmly suggests “…but it’s what he needs.” Ana and Christian are also seen sleeping in the same bed together, which was previously one of Christian’s rules, now broken. We then get a flash of scenes; one of Ana in Christian stealing a kiss from each other and a quick glance at Leila (Christian’s ex submissive) stalking Ana from afar as she exits SIP with Jack.

Our hearts immediately jump into our throats with what we see next – In the first trailer we saw Charlie Tango going down but this time, we see it crash! Although we know Christian ends up with only a few scratches in the end, seeing what we’ve read come to life has definitely got us emotional.

In quick five frame segments, we then we quickly examine the next set of scenes flashing before our eyes: Christian on his knees in front of a topless Ana, a sexy scene which has Ana arching her back in wanton, Christian picking Ana up while in his gym and placing her on a piece of equipment as he rips open his shirt, and a sexy whisper at the masquerade ball. We then climb up Ana’s legs, adorned in high fashion lingerie while Christian’s stares from across the room. “You just going to stand there gawking,” she asks, to which he quickly replies “Yes.”

We’re then blasted yet again into quick segments showcasing the drama, the secrets, the past all coming back to haunt Christian. No matter how hard he tries, his past is catching up with him and it’s time to face those demons.

The lasts scene from the new trailer truly does have us in fifty shades of emotions. From sadness, to anger, to love and hope, we get our first glance at submissive Christian, who falls to his knees after he thinks Ana is leaving him. In a heart tugging move, Christian grabs Ana’s hand and places it upon his bare chest; an action he has trusted no one to accomplish before.

The entirety of the trailer is consumed by Miguel’s version of ‘Crazy in Love’ by Beyoncé and we think it adds just the right touch. Miguel is still hard at work in the studio finalizing the version for film.

So, what did you think? Was it everything you hoped for and more? We’d love to hear your thoughts and comments so please do so by leaving them in the comment section below.

On a personal note, of all the trailers released, this is by far EJD’s favourite. It’s shown that the films are staying true to the books and that those little scenes that often don’t make it into the movies (because some consider them less important) are indeed being accounted for. It’s those small scenes that make the difference; they’re the scenes that build the foundation of the story and missing them in the movie is always heart breaking. We’re thankful Team Fifty is working so hard behind the scenes to make sure we get the best of the best!

But that’s not all the news we were hit with today! As members of the #OfficialFifty Campaign for Darker, we are more than excited to share the premiere news with you! The official premiere will be held in Los Angeles where cast and crew will be in attendance. The premier has been set for February 2nd, 2017 – eight days prior to the worldwide release. Jamie, Dakota, Erika and multitude of cast will be there enjoying the day with us.

A masquerade event is also scheduled for the evening of February 2nd. Official Fifty members have already been granted access but that doesn’t mean you can’t attend! Apply here for your chance at the VIP event – the more the merrier! And we’d love to meet some of you there!

Along with the trailer today came a vast compendium of treats delivered to members of the OF campaign as well. The new, full length poster in UHQ was revealed today. Click it to see it in gorgeous quality in our gallery.

You can also check out some new stills featuring Christian and Ana in stunning UHQ quality in the gallery, another gift courtesy of #OfficialFifty.

With the official release just around the corner, things are starting to speed up fast. Enjoy the ride – it’s been a privilege to share this experience with you all. Just remember to stop, look, breathe and take it all in. Before you know it, it’ll be 2018.

FIFTY SHADES DARKER TRAILER DEBUTS WORLDWIDE

AND WE THOUGHT YESTERDAY’S TEASER WAS AMAZING. Universal Pictures released the very first full length trailer to Fifty Shades Darker today and we’ve been fangirling, and fan-boying, all day long. Take a look below and watch the goosebumps grow!




Are you alive?! Yeah, us either. The trailer has some awesome scenes in it and really provides the fans with the ‘darker’ atmosphere of the film.

In the beginning, you can see Jack, Ana’s boss, watching the fireworks display at the Grey Mansion from afar while the trailer then leads into Christian giving a gift to Ana, followed by the reveal of their masquerade ball masks and a burning questions left by Christian. “Intrigued?” he asks Anastasia, and we’re guessing she more than is!

226-505_28529

We’re then whisked away to the ball where the flow of magic, dancing, lights leaves us captivated. Following this short scene, Ana is surprised by a votive of white long stemmed roses, sent by Christian in an attempt to get back his girl. “I want you back… I had no idea what this was going to become. Christian proclaims, while Ana responds with “I don’t see how this can work.” Christian is devastated at what he lost a mere five days ago and is desperate to have Ana back. In the next scene, he’s seen (what looks to be) surprising her at José’s art exhibit, where in the book, they traveled to the show together. Nevertheless, Ana is caught completely off guard when she sees a sullen Christian standing only a few feet away from her.226-505_284929 226-505_285129

Next up, we head into what looks like Escala, Christian’s home, where Anastasia is dressed in her evening gown from the ball, while Christian ‘gawks’ at her, as she details in the trailer. “Are you just going to stand there, gawking?” “Yes,” Christian proclaims, because he’s Christian Grey and if he wants to gawk, he’ll gawk.

226-505_285229 226-505_285629

Onward into the bathroom where a heated shower scene and a half-naked Christian takes back his beloved Ana with formidable force. Ana doesn’t seem to mind – and why would she?! The two are seen embracing passionately, careful not too give too much away. But damn – can we just talk about this man’s Michelangelo physique for a second?! *insert heart eyes* Dornan as Grey is certainly how we expected him to be, and then some!

226-505_286829

226-505_286429

Next, we’re catapulted into the Grey’s pool house, where Christian will *spoiler* eventually propose to Ana at the end of the film. He begs the question “What do you want, Anastasia?” while the response is nothing short of curt. Ana gets to the point – if he wants to be with her, then he’s going to have to conform to her and abandon his previous lifestyle. “This time, no rules. No punishments. And no more secrets,” expressing the need for a vulnerable Christian – one who wants to share his world with her and she wants to share it with him.

226-505_287729

But speaking of secrets, next we find Ana and Christian sleeping in Ana’s bed at her apartment. While Ana tosses and turns, she sees the image of a woman at the end of her bed, the bed Grey is sound asleep in. At second glance, she sees nothing there – but we the fans know that Leila is quietly lurking in the shadows, intrigued by Miss Steele. 226-505_2811529

Now if that wasn’t creepy enough, what the heck does Jack think he’s doing? Barricading Ana in his office, with a silent ‘Shhhh’ as his fingers approach his lips. This is our first glimpse of Eric Johnson (hilariously funny man) as the sinister Jack Hyde.

226-505_2812829

But let’s up the macabre level a bit more and add in Christian’s first Dominant, Elena – FINALLY a glimpse of Kim Basigner as the intimidating, blonde bombshell, Elena. Her role has us extremely feverish and wanting to see more of her in the film. Elena is seen at the ball as Ana walks vigorously away from her – a tell tale sign that the two have had a confrontation of sorts. What’s happened?!

226-505_2813929

As scenes quickly begin to change in flashes of white light, we see Ana get out of her car, Christian and Taylor in tow, with expressions of shock and disbelief plastered across their faces. Is this where they see that someone has doused Ana’s car in red paint? Who could it have been?

226-505_2814229 226-505_2814329

Finally, a barrage of scenes occur, where Ana and Christian are seen overlooking a file on Ana, Charlie Tango (Christian’s helicopter) in mid tailspin, an eerie visitor in the stairway at the Grey Mansion during the ball and Ana rushing out of SIP into the embrace of her dark knight.

226-505_2815329 226-505_2815429

Lastly, the trailer ends with Ana, alone in her apartment, while Elena’s voice is heard in the background saying “Do you think you’re the first woman who’s tried to save him?” It’s slowly revealed that Ana is not in fact alone in her apartment as the camera shifts and reveals Leila standing behind her. 

A beautifully well done trailer that delivers on all levels. We all had an idea on what we’d like to see in the trailer and I think it pretty much covered it, without giving too much away.

One thing’s for sure, we’ll be watching it again and again and again and again until it’s what our dreams are made of. Bravo on an excellent first trailer – it’s definitely made the wait until February a little more bearable.

You can view over 160 HD screencaps from the trailer here and some stunning new UHQ stills of the film here.

FIFTY SHADES DARKER TEASER REVEALED… AND THEN SOME!

OK… JUST BREATHE.

DON’T GO INTO CARDIAC ARREST! A teaser trailer for the official Fifty Shades Darker trailer was posted today and, it may be completely rhetorical to mention, but the fans went CRAZY. Take a quick look at the teaser below before we get into further discussion!




ARE YOU OK?! Because we’re sure as heck not! Who knew that a short 20 second teaser could send the screaming fans into a world-wide frenzy?! That frenzy, understandably and as expected, has Fifty Shades Darker trending world wide on multiple social media platforms as everyone collectively lost all of their cognitive senses once the teaser was posted. Fansites and fans went into overdrive.

14315940_1080917891997719_1471247061_o

The teaser offers a quick glance into the trilogy’s second movie, scheduled to hit theaters Valentine’s Day 2017. Ana’s long, sexy legs and a one-word line from Christian… “Intrigued?” has judiciously sent our hearts into overdrive, heads spinning, knees weak and just metaphorically, killed us all. It also reveals that the first official full length trailer for Darker will hit our eyeballs tomorrow! TOMORROW! The trailer is set to premier on or around 11:00am EST on Fifty Shades’ official social media pages. So set those alarms for ten to eleven because we most definitely do NOT want to miss this!

You can view 14 HD screencaps from the teaser here, more to be added tomorrow with the full length trailer, of course!

But if that wasn’t enough, let’s go ahead and post a video of Jamie and Dakota from the set this past Summer thanking fans. Naturally, we died again.




OK, so how adorbs is this?! Standing in front of Christian’s private jet, Jamie and Dakota take a second to thank the fans for all the love and support over the past two years and for helping the official Fifty Shades Facebook Page for reaching a mind blowing 10 million Facebook likes! Incredible!

14285280_1080917941997714_2023399498_o

So naturally, we had to add some HD screencaps of this heartfelt message to the gallery as well! Check them out there!

OH, DID YOU THINK WE WERE DONE?! Nope.

Teaser to trailer? Check.

Message from Jamie and Dakota? Check.

Confirmation of a full length trailer tomorrow? Check.

First official poster?! HELL, YES!

22145256

So, this is amazeballs. It’s so eloquent, sexy and yes, darker. A glimpse at Ana’s Masquerade Ball Mask is a key accessory in the story, something the fans anticipated to be done with class and most definitely something we wanted to see. It’s just enough. Perfect. It’s Christian and Ana together again. Something we will have waited two years, almost to the day, to happen. And we can’t wait!

You can view the poster in our gallery in breathtaking HQ quality.

AND THAT’S IT! Or, not! Don’t forget about the world wide premier of the official Fifty Shades Darker trailer tomorrow! You can watch it on their official Facebook, Twitter and YouTube channels.

Let’s get ready for something darker.

OUR WEEK IN REVIEW: A DAY BY DAY BREAKDOWN OF OUR WEEK IN VANCOUVER, BC WHILE ATTENDING FIFTY SHADES DARKER AND FREED FILMING.

During the week of April 10th through 16th, Karoline of @Jamie_DornanCan and I (Holly from EJD) spent a week in Vancouver, BC for the filming of Fifty Shades Darker and Freed. We also visited previous and upcoming filming locations while the cast was in studio or while shooting interior scenes. This is our week and everything we experienced and visited in review.


Sunday April 10th, 2016

After I had finally made it to Vancouver, we took a trip to Cecil Green Park House on the UBC Campus which was rented out by production to complete scenes for Fifty Shades Freed. Because minimal setting up by the crew had begun, we had unlimited access to the property and were able to take beautiful pictures of what will be Christian and Ana’s home. With the sun shining bright, the flowers in full bloom, the grass as green as ever and the cool breeze off the Pacific Ocean, it’s no wonder Cecil Green was chosen to be Christian and Ana’s forever home.

IMG_2610 IMG_2623 IMG_2614


Monday April 11th, 2016

We arrived on set shortly after 8:00am where it was evident that the crew had been hastily setting up for the day’s exterior filming. Trucks, crew, cable, cameras, lighting and the like engulfed Cecil Green Park House, turning it into Christian and Ana’s home. The cast, including Jamie Dornan, Dakota Johnson, Arielle Kebbel, Max Martini and Brant Daughtery were already on set being prepped in hair and makeup. Filming would commence shortly after 10:00am.

IMG_2636 IMG_2645 IMG_2635
Filming first began at the entrance of Cecil Green, where Christian first introduces Ana to his idea of buying them a house. Jamie and Dakota were seen laughing and enjoying each others company between takes. It was a beautiful day for filming and the cast and crew were seen all around set, waving, smiling and enjoying the warm Vancouver air. We were gifted with waves from Max Martini who seemed to be elated to be on set. Arielle Kebbel was also on set as the saucy Gia Matteo. She looked gorgeous with her long blonde hair and sassy clothes.

LUX_2859 LUX_2860

An unfortunate turn of events occurred when some obnoxious paparazzi  began bullying us. We were minding our own business when we were suddenly attacked verbally. The comments made were derogatory, belittling and downright mean with nothing to implicate the sudden outburst. The verbal attacks went on and on and understandably left us in shock. We had began packing our things to leave as we were not going to stand for such offensive behaviour, however, every other fan and paparazzi on set at the time stuck up for us, reminding us that we traveled a very long way to come here and that we shouldn’t let the actions of others deter our goal. With the support of fellow fans and goodhearted paps, we decided to stay, not knowing that the next day, it would totally pay off.

The day continued with the sun beaming brightly. We broke for lunch and headed to an on campus pub for some grub.When we returned, production had moved to the driveway part of the set where Christian’s uber sexy 2017 R8 Audi became the focus point.

IMG_2040

In a scene from Fifty Shades Freed, Christian lets Ana drive his Audi after visiting Christian’s parents for dinner. In this scene, Christian and Ana are seen walking down the driveway, arms wrapped around each other as newlyweds, engagement rings and wedding bands blinging brightly. Christian tosses the keys to Ana playfully, in which she graciously accepts with excitement. While filming, Dakota dropped the keys, or rather couldn’t catch them, creating laughter and fun on set. Oh to see the blooper reel. Jamie and Dakota were laughing and giggling no doubt to mock Dakota’s much-like-Ana’s clumsy demeanor. It was a real treat to see.

LUX_3098LUX_3111LUX_3153

After a successful day of filming, production wrapped roughly around 6:00 pm. Even though we stood for hours and had a little bump in the road, it was all-in-all, a fantastic day. One that we wouldn’t soon forget.

We were approached by a senior PA and notified that Dakota herself had gotten word regarding the verbal attack we had suffered earlier that day. He asked for both of our Twitter and Instagram handles as well as our names, personally requested by Miss. Johnson herself. Confused, we weren’t sure it was a good idea to divulge our information. After seeking the advice of a fellow fan who is well known by the crew, we spoke to another senior PA regarding the odd request, which he also validated. So, we graciously identified ourselves on Twitter and IG.   Tuesday would prove to be just as stellar, we just didn’t know it yet.


Tuesday April 12th, 2016

The weather in Vancouver changed significantly on Tuesday; it was cold, wet and dreary but that didn’t break our spirits. Scenes shot from the interior of Cecil Green were underway in the late morning, and we arrived just in time to catch a glimpse of the action. Even though we didn’t get any clear shots of Jamie and Dakota, the experience in itself was exciting. We knew there was a possibility of a day without pictures but when you travel so far to get a glimpse of the action, you seize every opportunity. We met a lot of people including crew members and other fans alike and sparked friendships and relationships with each and every one of them.                   IMG_2672 IMG_2675

As the day wrapped, we began packing our belongings ready to leave. We waited until the cast was driven away from the set in hopes of getting a glimpse of Jamie and Dakota. We were not left disappointed. Miss Dakota Johnson herself requested to her driver that he stop so she could have a word with us. She stopped where we were standing and rolled down her window. Now, try to understand our pure shock at the site of the beautiful Miss. Johnson rolling down her window to talk to us. Magical, to say the least. Dakota looked like Heaven; her long brown hair was glistening even though there was no sun and her movie makeup was still on. She looked breathless. She rolled down her window and said “Hi girls! I just want to apologize for the way you were treated yesterday. It’s unfortunate. I know you’ve traveled a long way to be here and the behaviour you experienced yesterday by paparazzi is inexcusable. They’re *ass holes* (she mouthed, and scrunched her nose in disgust. It was adorable). Is there anything I can do for you?” In a moment of paralysis, we said nothing except acknowledge the fact that Johnson has stopped to speak with us. In that moment, all the abuse we had suffered became worth it. And had it not have been for the poor judgement and lack of respect from these paparazzi, we would not have had the chance to have such a memorable encounter with Dakota. She truly adores her fans and would do anything for them. We have a new and higher respect for Miss. Johnson and are flattered that she took the time to address us regarding the previous day’s incident. Thank you Dakota for being so gracious to us.

High on our encounter with Dakota, we left the set in search of food and good cocktails to celebrate such an awesome day!


Wednesday April 13th, 2016

Cast and crew were inside for interior scenes at Northshore Studios. This gave us the day to visit Casa Mia where scenes would be filmed inside on Friday and Saturday. Casa Mia is used as the Grey Mansion and was used in Fifty Shades of Grey and will continue to be used for Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed. We weren’t permitted to enter the grounds so any and all of our pictures were taken from the front gate.

IMG_2869 IMG_2873

After we visited Casa Mia, we took the rest of the day to explore the city of Vancouver and visit various filming locations featured in Fifty Shades of Grey as well as upcoming filming locations which will be featured in Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed. Naturally, we took Pocket Christian and Pocket Dakota along for the ride!

First we visited The Fish House in Stanley Park. The Fish House was featured in the first movie as the restaurant that Ana and Carla (Ana’s mother) visit while Ana is in Georgia. The Fish House sadly closed on October 1st, 2015 after 25 years of business. The doors were locked and thus, we could not enter the establishment, but we still managed to take some extraordinary pictures!

IMG_2704

IMG_2723 IMG_2728

Next, we were off to Beaver Lake, the infamous lake in which Christian and Ana visit in Fifty Shades of Grey. It was such a beautiful place that Pocket Christian decided to make a cameo! The scenery was stunning, peaceful and full of wildlife. We saw mallard ducks and a beautiful blue heron. This was definitely one of my most favourite parts of my trip to Vancouver.

IMG_2774

IMG_2743 IMG_2792

Next we were off to Grey House, to see in person where our favourite megalomaniac hides high in his glass tower. Nestled right in the middle of downtown Vancouver, Grey House is a nostalgic reminder of the billionaires office building used in Fifty Shades. Definitely worth seeing in person if you ever visit Vancouver! Pocket Christian (of course) had to take a picture in front of his castle.

IMG_2837 IMG_2830

 IMG_2831

Next we were off to Clayton’s! What a fantastic visit! The store personnel were generous to let us take pictures and to Periscope! We cleaned them out of their stock of rope, tape and cable ties. However, no actual red rope was in the store. We were told that the red rope was brought in specifically for Fifty Shades. Darn. (Make sure to check out our giveaway here.)

IMG_2845

IMG_2848 IMG_2853

After a long day of walking and sightseeing, we decided to call it a day and went to The London Pub for dinner. The London Pub is used in Fifty Shades Darker as Fifty’s – the bar in which Ana, Jack and their co-workers visit after Ana’s first successful week at SIP. It’s rumoured however, that the pub in Darker will not be named Fifty’s. Regardless, it’s rustic and chaotic interior will make for the perfect awkward bar scene in which Christian will finally meet Jack. There was also a scene filmed which included Ana, Kate and Elliot, which we presume is when Elliot receives the news regarding Christian, Ros and Charlie Tango.

IMG_2857

IMG_2858  IMG_2861

IMG_2862

After a long and tiring day, we headed back to the hotel where we watched Fifty Shades of Grey with an entirely new perspective after having visited many of the filming locations in person. We were ready to rest up and conquer the day tomorrow with more filming locations!


Thursday April 14th, 2016

Thursday started on a high note with our first visit beginning with the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, or The Heathman Hotel in Fifty Shades of Grey. With so many iconic scenes filmed at the Fairmont, we were on cloud nine and ready to do whatever it took to get a glimpse at the inside.

First we started with the exterior where in the movie, Christian is seen returning to the hotel after a morning jog in the cool, brisk weather. As surreal as it was to see the exterior of ‘The Heathman,’ we had no idea how surreal our adventure was going to become!

IMG_2874

We decided in the moment that we needed to get inside and check out the ballroom and the infamous elevators used in the first movie. With direction from a friend, we walked into the hotel like we owned the joint and were not left disappointed. The ballroom and corridor leading away from the ballroom was our first of two stops. It’s unmistakable carpet and hallways were the epitome of nostalgia. You could almost feel the charge in the air as if we were flies on the wall during Christian’s photoshoot with José.

IMG_2881 IMG_2884

Our next goal were the elevators. Oh those infamous elevators in which Christian violates his own rules with his potential submissives because his overwhelming need to consume Ana takes over. Once we were in the elevators ready to hit the 14th floor, it quickly became apparent that we did not have access as we were not staying at the hotel. Reserved for GOLD MEMBERS only, the only way to reach the 14th floor would be to have a hotel card granted to those who have suites on either the 14th or 15th floors. Sadly, we did not have this key card. But we weren’t going to give up that easily. We stayed in the hotel lobby for roughly five to ten minutes before deciding that we would get into the elevator with the next person who came along, in hopes that we would somehow reach the 14th floor. Luck was on our side; on the first try a young woman entered the elevator which we were already in, inserted her card and pressed ’14.’ We were elated to say the least and in the brief moments that it took us to reach the 14th floor, our excitement was barely under control, trying not to crack at the sheer anticipation of seeing these most infamous elevators. The doors to the 14th floor opened and we were in awe. There, right before our eyes were THE elevators. We were laughing hysterically at the unbelievable luck we had encountered. It was meant to be.

Next we were off to Gastown – a small yet extremely popular part of Vancouver where many scenes for Fifty Shades of Grey as well as Fifty Shades Darker were/are filmed. We visited Ana’s Apartment, SIP, the corner which the cyclist incident occurred, the Waterstreet Cafe, where Christian and Ana go for coffee and the restaurant in which Ana takes Christian for breakfast. We also visited the site which Leila (Bella Heathcote) watches the pair from outside. Nostalgia once again set in as well as the excitement for the upcoming movies!

Last but certainly not least, we visited Coal Harbour, where Christian is seen jogging during the opening credits to Fifty Shades of Grey. With a cool breeze off the Pacific Ocean, the view was accompanied by the Canadian Rockies and the glowing sun. Coal Harbour really hit home and was an absolute spectacle to see in person.

After Coal Harbour we returned to Casa Mia in hopes of getting more shots of Grey Mansion. However, we were still not permitted to enter the grounds. We complied as we did not want to impede on the work of the crew. After we left Casa Mia, I made my way to the airport hotel where I would spend the night to catch the earliest flight home in the morning. Karoline and I parted ways but will always remember the times we shared and the memories we created in the beautiful city of Vancouver, British Columbia.
