"Fifty Shades of Grey" fans calm down! The new tie-in cover for the book series has been unmasked.
It probably won't matter to most if they already have the original book series as well as the e-book copy, with the new tie-in cover showcased on Entertainment Weekly, fans are sure to trip over each other trying to secure their own copy of the limited edition items.
The steamy tie-in edition of "Fifty Shades of Grey" features film stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan in a steamy, passionate moment.
In the photo, we see Johnson, who plays Ana Steele, with her arms raised, lips parted and eyes closed. Gripping her face is Dornan, playing the role of billionaire Christian Grey, as he leans in for a kiss while pressed up against the "innocent college student."
If you've lived under a rock these last few years, here's a quick synopsis of the book, provided by Just Jared:
"When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana's quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too-but on his own terms.
Shocked yet thrilled by Grey's singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success-his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family-Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey's secrets and explores her own dark desires."
If there's anything the photo tells us, is that director Sam Taylor-Johnson was not afraid to put some erotic passion into the film.
In an interview with the Today, James teased audiences by describing the bedroom scenes as "interesting."
"What I've seen hasn't been particularly watered down, so, um, yeah, I thought it was interesting," she said laughing. "So that's all I'll say about that."
The new tie-in edition will be published on Jan. 6, 2015 by Arrow books, ahead of the film' release a month later. Glamour noted that the other two books in the trilogy will also feature tie-ins with the film.
Race to the theaters when the film drops on February 2015, just in time for Valentine's Day.
