Screenwriter for "50 Shades of Grey" aims for an NC-17 rating


This is a "50 Shades of Grey" cake.  I'm not joking.  This thing actually exists.  Someone paid someone to make this cake.



     In a move that is less unexpected than John Kruk buying a Big Mac, 50 Shades of Grey screenwriter Kelly Marcel told "The Sunday Times" that she plans to make the screenplay adaptation of the "novel" so raunchy that it will garner an NC-17 rating.
     Marcel, who took over the writing duties after Elmo left*, states that "We are 100% going there."  Hopefully "going there" means employing phrases that aren't exclusively used by fifteen year old girls and fifty year old moms trying to act cool.  Then again E. L. James' "novels" started out as "Twilight" fan fiction so maybe the verbiage is a step up.
     In any event not everyone is on the same page as Marcel.  Producer Dana Brunetti said "the script isn't even written yet, so how could we know how the Ratings Board will rate it?"  Other studio representatives refused further comment.
     Although no casting announcements have been made yet this movie is on the fast track to the theaters.  The movie is much like one of Jets coach Rex Ryan's farts.  You don't when it's coming but it's inevitable.

*Correction, Marcel took over the writing from Snuffleupagus not Elmo.
