Fifty Shades of Grey sex scenes to be toned down.

UK - After muscle-bound hunk Jamie Dornan was cast as the domineering businessman Christian Grey, lovers of the kinky book series whipped themselves into a frenzy at the thought of the actor bringing the novel's X-rated sex scenes to life.
But unfortunately, it turns out that the much-anticipated film is going to be much tamer than what's going on in the imaginations of Christian's wannabe mistresses.
The movie's producer, Michael De Luca, told Deadline that the S&M and bondage scenes that made the book so popular are going to be dramatically toned down on the big screen.
De Luca said: "We're very conscious of not making anything gratuitous or exploitive while being faithful to the stories of the book and the fans of the book.
Considering the fact that Fifty Shades fans were most looking forward to the gratuitous and explicit scenes the most, we reckon there'll be many a woman sobbing over their much-thumbed copies.
The dream-crushing producer also said: "A picture is worth 1,000 words. So to be erotic on screen means I think an image is going to have way more power than reading the words on a page. The book is explicit by design because the author wanted to get inside of the female character and wanted to in detail go through her experience.
"On a literary level that was necessary but on film it is a whole different medium. In any adaption of a book, you have to lose some stuff and you have to combine some stuff."
This is likely to mean no in-your-face nudity, jiggle balls or repetitive spanking - while the explicit list of dos and don'ts in naive Anastasia Steele's contract may have to watered down.
But it's not just fans that are peeved off by the PG-ification of the adaptation.
Steamy author E.L James is said to be annoyed by director Sam Taylor-Wood's treatment of her bestseller, as she wanted as much sex as possible transferred to the big screen.
A source told E! News: "Sam is getting annoyed about the way the script is being handled E.L. James wants the movie to match the book exactly, but Sam has a different perspective. Sam is reminding E.L. she writes books and she makes movies. This has caused some tension between the two of them."
The sex scenes are likely being cut and edited to avoid the dreaded NC-17 rating in the US - a kiss of death for commercial films.
The kinky love story is set to be released on February 13th, 2015 - we sense some very sexy Valentine's Day dates coming up.
