!!The Books
* DivorcedInstallment: The series started as an erotic ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' fanfic titled ''Master of the Universe''.
* SimilarlyNamedWorks: The series is almost named the same as the quirky and innovative fantasy novel by Creator/JasperFforde ''Literature/ShadesOfGrey''. To make the confusion perfect, some translations of this series kept the English title, but cut the "Fifty".

!!The film



* TroubledProduction: E.L. James constantly tried to throw her weight around to make a more faithful adaptation than anyone was comfortable with, and a lot of the cast and crew couldn't stand each other by the end of filming. [[OhCrap And then the sequels were greenlit...]]
* WhatMightHaveBeen:

to:

* TroubledProduction: E.TroubledProduction:
**E.
L. James constantly tried wielded a large amount of creative control over everything from casting to throw the wardrobe to the final script -- unusual for any novelist, let alone one whose only published work was a single series of three books. This led to no end of disputes between her weight around and director Sam Taylor-Johnson. While Taylor-Johnson wanted to make a more faithful adaptation than anyone PragmaticAdaptation, James was comfortable with, very protective of her book and a lot vetoed even the most minor deviations from it, and since James was the one with final say on all creative decisions, Taylor-Johnson often found herself forced to go along.
** Casting
of the cast film's male lead, the billionaire BDSM aficionado Christian Grey, took a long time. Creator/RobertPattinson, Creator/RyanGosling, and crew couldn't stand each other Creator/GarrettHedlund all turned the part down. Charlie Hunnam of ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'' originally signed on, but later backed out citing conflicts in his schedule, though [[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/fifty-shades-charlie-hunnams-script-648778 others]] have said that it was because he didn't like the script and clashed with the creative team over it. Eventually, they settled on Jamie Dornan.
** During filming in UsefulNotes/{{Vancouver}}, several residents were upset over the commotion caused
by the end of filming. [[OhCrap And then production. One man rang a cowbell out his apartment window, ruining several shots until the sequels were greenlit...]]
producers came to an agreement with him by moving the rain machine to another location.

** At the end of the film, the director came up with what could have been quite a CrowningMomentOfAwesome as Ana stops Christian from following her into the elevator just by saying their safeword "Red." Sadly, EL James refused to let them do it.
