Niall Leonard, a writer and the husband of E.L. James, will serve as the screenwriter for the Fifty Shades Darker movie. Leonard actually helped with the Fifty Shades of Grey script, but did not receive credit for his contribution.
Here’s more from The Hollywood Reporter: “Niall Leonard, who is married and has two sons with the British author, is an author himself, in addition to being a screenwriter. He’s written for the British TV shows Air Force One Is Down and Wire in the Blood, among others. He’s also the author of the Crusher book series.”
According to People.com, actors Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan will return to reprise their roles for the two Fifty Shades sequels. At this point in time, the movie studio still needs to find a new director to take the helm of movie two. (via CNN.com)
