Also starring is Jennifer Ehle as Anastasia's mother Carla, Luke Grimes as Christian's brother Elliott, Victor Rasuk as Anastasia's friend Jose and Eloise Mumford as Anastasia's roommate Kate.

Sam Taylor-Johnson is directing from a screenplay by Kelly Marcel, Patrick Marber and Mark Bomback, based on E.L. James' novel. Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti are producing, with shooting scheduled to begin next month in Vancouver.
