Producer Of "Fifty Shades Of Gray" Commented On Rumors About The Salary Of The Main Characters

There was a lot of speculation about the fees of the actors who played the main roles in the film adaptation of the erotic novel Fifty Shades of Gray. It was reported that for filming in the first part of the trilogy Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson received 250 thousand dollars each, plus a percentage of world fees. Considering the incredible popularity of the picture (popularity, but not the rating), Dakota and Jamie thought that they were paid little and decided to demand from the creators of the picture a fee with six zeros.

The terms of Johnson and Dornan's future participation in the film are still under discussion, but the producer of Shades Dana Brunetti says that actors should at least be happy that they are involved in something so popular and not ask for inflated amounts.

“When I started, I had to forget about my ambitions and often work for free. I was happy about this because I understood that I was involved in something grandiose. I still don't always take money for my work. The case is even rocking large-scale popular films, says Dana. "If I was paid what I demanded for all my work, I would already have several Ferraris."

In an interview, Brunetti tried to explain that everyone needs a start, but you also need to understand that no one gets huge fees from the first steps.

Meanwhile, Brunetti also said he didn’t know if Sam Taylor-Johnson would be directing the subsequent “Shades” parts. Dana says that this issue has not yet been discussed, a meeting at the studio has not been held.
