After the powerful box-office success of the trilogy “Fifty shades“film company Universal pictures acquired the rights to cinema adaptation of another British writer’s erotic novel E.L. James. It’s about the book “Mister“.
The original work was released in 2019 and immediately became a new book hit, holding out on the prestigious bestseller list of the American newspaper The new york times nine weeks in a row. The book has been published in 33 languages.
According to the portal Variety, the rights to the film adaptation of the book provoked a fierce bidding war. The plot of “Mr.” tells the story of a wealthy British aristocrat who falls in love with his Albanian housekeeper, not suspecting that she is on the run from traffickers. As with Fifty Shades, James herself will be the executive producer of the upcoming film..
After working for 25 years on television, James decided to fulfill her childhood dream and write a story that would touch the hearts of all readers. As a result, Fifty Shades of Gray and two sequels came out, selling a total print run of over 150 million copies worldwide. In addition, the novel entered the hundred of the most beloved books by US residents based on a poll conducted by the American television channel PBS. In 2012, the reputable Time magazine included James on the list of the hundred most influential people in the world, and Publishers Weekly awarded her the title Person of the Year.
The situation with films was different. Despite the impressive 1.3 billion dollars box office, the trilogy was marked by low ratings from critics and a whole harvest of Golden Raspberries.
