Marlon Wayan's parody of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' lacks all the vanilla romance and sexy sexual encounters.
- Nov 20, 2015
AceShowbiz - Christian Grey is so last year, Christian Black is here. Marlon Wayans spoofs one of the highest-grossing sex films "Fifty Shades of Grey" in "Fifty Shades of Black", which first trailer just hits online.
"Black" epitomizes every element of "Grey" except for, well, the ridiculous parts. Kali Hawk portrays a young woman attracted to Wayan's Black. She goes in to interview the billionaire who turns out to be a professional thief of some kind. Their BDSM relationship somewhat puts the original couple's to shame.
The parody film is written by Wayans who also serves as producer alongside longtime collaborator Rick Alvarez. Ladden with slapsticks, the pic makes a reference to Kim Kardashian's famous photoshoot for Paper magazine and "Magic Mike" dancing scenes.
"What if Christian Grey was black and he was rich but you kind of know how he got his money, it's kind of shady and he's a really bad lover? I mean it's kind of similar to the movie," Wayans said back in May. "They had all these scenes and I was like, a funny version of this and a funny version of that and before you knew it we had a really funny script."
The film also stars Jane Seymour, Mike Epps and Fred Willard among others. The film will hit U.S. theaters January 29, 2016.
