While the British singer-songwriter/ actress Rita Ora told ContactMusic.com the first film will be 'most amazing shock ever', producer Michael De Luca says it won't be as "explicit" as the book, during an industry panel discussion at the Sundance Film Festival, according to CBC.

Hopefully not like this, from Perez Hilton:
Some local Vancouver
residents are super pissed about Fifty Shades of Grey's filming - so much so, a group of especially angry peeps are trying to ruin the flick!
A source close to production has revealed that while shooting a recent scene in the rain, many neighbors attempted to ruin the footage:
"Neighbors at the building were upset over the noise and water flying everywhere. An older man continued to ruin scenes by opening his window and shaking a cowbell. He did not stop until they came to some sort of a resolution with producers. Another person in the building told production that if any water comes into his house, they will have to pay for the water damage. Residents are not happy with them shooting there. Eventually they met half way with the cowbell resident—they had to move the rain machine to another location."
