Have you heard that Christian Grey was fired from his company after a salary scandal? There were 50 Grades of Pay. Apparently he went bankrupt and had to work on a farm to pay off his debts. He had to harvest 50 Bales Of Hay. After that, he had to be very frugal when it came to buying new bondage equipment. He had to be Thrifty Shades Of Grey.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not what we\u2019re here for. We\u2019re here because the first global trailer has been released, and we owe it to you and ourselves to take a closer look and make a few guesses about the final 50 Shades of Grey movie, when it\u2019s released in 2015. On Valentine\u2019s Day. Yeah, perfect first date material.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the trailer, just in case you\u2019ve been trapped in an elevator for the past week and missed it. In fact, if you have been trapped in an elevator for a week, you\u2019ll feel right at home with this trailer. Elevators feature quite heavily.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SfZWFDs0LxA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And there we have it. 2 minutes and 20 seconds of women looking nervous in elevators and men looking absently out of windows. And a dinner scene with the in-laws. Raunchy stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s recap what we&#8217;ve seen.<\/p>\n<p>We meet Ana Steele straight off the bat, looking like the unlikely offspring of Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada and Zooey Deschanel in everything Zooey Deschanel has ever been in.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"wp-image-7709 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vlcsnap-2014-07-28-23h25m16s93.png\" alt=\"vlcsnap-2014-07-28-23h25m16s93\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vlcsnap-2014-07-28-23h25m16s93.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vlcsnap-2014-07-28-23h25m16s93-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vlcsnap-2014-07-28-23h25m16s93-1024x576.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/> &#8220;Man, elevators are boring.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anastasia has a couple of questions for Mr. Grey, so she wanders into his reception &#8211; which is apparently staffed entirely by\u00a0Aryan Fembots from the future.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"wp-image-7711 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vlcsnap-2014-07-28-23h38m30s82.png\" alt=\"&quot;Mr. Grey will see you nowERROR 404 DOES NOT COMPUTE&quot;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vlcsnap-2014-07-28-23h38m30s82.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vlcsnap-2014-07-28-23h38m30s82-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vlcsnap-2014-07-28-23h38m30s82-1024x576.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/> &#8220;Mr. Grey will see you nowERROR 404 DOES NOT COMPUTE KILL ALL HUMANS&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Grey Enterprises Holdings Ltd&#8217;s reception area reminds us of this scene from Tron: Legacy.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7723 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/TRON-GIRLS.jpg\" alt=\"TRON GIRLS\" width=\"500\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/TRON-GIRLS.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/TRON-GIRLS-300x135.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Oh, and we never noticed this before, but&#8230; Grey Enterprises Holdings Ltd?

Double dare you.<\/p>\n<p>Ah well, if that&#8217;s the case, we can live with it, mainly because the soundtrack of this trailer is outstanding.

Every generation has its sexually-defining piece of media, 50 Shades is ours and whether it&#8217;s done more harm than good is still up for debate. But that&#8217;s part of the point: the fact that it&#8217;s generating debate at all is a progressive sign.<\/p>\n<p>I guess we&#8217;ll have to reserve judgement for now.
