dropped in for a day of filming at Vancouver's historic Fairmont Hotel,
even sneaking a peek at some key elevator scenes. "There's a lot that
happens in this elevator," she joked to director Sam Taylor-Johnson.Both stars told Natalie they're fans of their characters. "She's a good woman," Johnson, herself the daughter of Hollywood stars Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, said of Anastasia. "I can see a lot of myself in her, and I can see a lot of her in me."
Dornan wasn't sure at first if he had anything in common with Christian Grey, the handsome billionaire with a secret sexual side. "I mean, look, there's always something about any character that you play that you're drawn to because you feel that it relates to something within you," he said.
Trilogy author E.L. James has been a constant presence on set, watching her characters — and fantasies — playing out in front of the calendar. "Sons of Anarchy" star Charlie Hunnam was originally cast as Christian Grey, but withdrew from the film, but James doesn't mind having two lesser-known actors in the roles. "From the very get-go, I said it would be great to discover two unknowns," she said.
