The release of "Fifty Shades of Grey," one of 2015's most awaited films is set to hit theaters in three weeks time. As the release date inches closer, we're receiving more and more information about what's to come.
A few weeks ago, The Weeknd released "Earned It" -- a song included in the film's soundtrack -- which quickly became a soaring success.
Now, a behind-the-scenes teaser has been released featuring film director Sam Taylor-Johnson praising the hit single, reported Buzzfeed on Monday. The video includes never-before-seen footage while making the seductive song's music video.
"He's just instantly seductive, and it's sort of gentle seduction that just pulls you and pulls you and pulls you in," said director Johnson in the clip.
In the video, The Weeknd performs at the Los Angeles Palace Theater while backed by gorgeous ladies that are scantily dressed. The slow and sexy ballad is sung from billionaire Christian Grey's point of view and with the sneak peek's steamy footage, it's no wonder fans have become more eager to see the movie.
"The film and my music is a match made in Heaven," said the Weeknd. "If you listen to my album or any of the past work I've done, it's very 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'"
Expect the official, full-length music video to drop sometime this week. For the meantime, watch the footage below or download the track off iTunes.
The film's soundtrack is expected to be released by Republic Records on Feb. 10, 2015.
Movie Sex Scenes
There's no denying that the E.L. James' trilogy about Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and Anastasia Steele's (Dakota Johnson) love story is full of intimate moments but based on new information, there is one particular sex scene that has been omitted.
Who can forget the intense tampon scene in the book? According to the director, "It didn't make it into the movie," reports Variety. "It was never even discussed."
With the producers agreeing it'd be best if the NSFW scene was left out, "The book needed to put you in Ana's shoes to be a successful experience," shared producer Michael De Luca. "A lot of it was very literal. The movie didn't need to do that. It's a completely different medium."
Secondly, while you'll probably see a lot of PDA, don't expect to see Dornan's junk on the silver screen. "They were privy to everything, just not my manhood," said Dornan, reports E! Online.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" hits theaters on Feb. 13.
