'Fifty Shades of Grey' Poster Banned for Being Too Raunchy
Movie

Some people in the U.K. express their objection, saying that a banner of the upcoming movie featuring a blindfolded Dakota Johnson displayed outside a cinema is too raunchy.

AceShowbiz - A "Fifty Shades of Grey" banner featuring a topless Dakota Johnson apparently is too raunchy for some people. According to a report from the Welwyn Hatfield Times, some members of public in Hertfordshire, U.K. expressed their objection after the poster showing a blindfolded Johnson who seemingly is in the middle of a sex act was displayed outside a cinema to promote the movie.

The cinema eventually removed the banner following public's outcry. "We are very sorry if we caused any offense to anyone," said a representative for the Garden City Cinema. "The film is set to be a huge blockbuster and is already selling well with us, even though it doesn't open until Valentine's Day 2015. The poster reflects the erotic nature of the film and was not explicit, but we understand if some people have taken offense."

Based on an adult novel by E.L. James, the Sam Taylor-Johnson-directed movie tells the story of a businessman named Christian Grey, played by Jamie Dornan, who is into BDSM. Johnson plays his girlfriend Ana. Also starring Rita Ora, Luke Grimes, Marcia Gay Harden and Eloise Mumford among others, it is set to hit U.S. theaters on February 13.

The Weeknd recently released "Earned It", a slow tempo track from the highly-anticipated movie OST. Trailers from the movie also feature vocals from Beyonce Knowles.
