"Fifty Shades of Grey" opened to $93 million domestically and sequels for the movie reportedly were already planned. The Sun, however, reported that director Sam Taylor-Johnson might not be back for the follow-ups due to conflicting views with the books' author E.L. James. According to a source, James wanted sex scenes in the movie to be as steamy as the books, but the director wanted them to be toned down.
"Sam won't be back for the Fifty Shades sequels. She wants out and Universal knows that's the right decision," the source said. "Her relationship with Erika has become absolutely toxic - they despise each other and blame each other for the problems with the film." The source also added that Taylor-Johnson "wanted the movie to be more than just a collection of S&M scenes."
A representative for the director has responded to the news. "All press reports are pure conjecture as the studio has not committed to a sequel as yet," the rep told Variety.
