I bought the film to see the alternative ending, which was a HUGE MISTAKE!
When you buy (instead of rent) the 50 Shades Of Grey movie, iTunes offers you some behind the scenes vignettes, and an unrated version of the film. Most add nothing to the already blah way this movie turned out, but I was anxious to see the ALTERNATIVE ENDING that happens only in the unrated version. So I plopped down 14.99 on ye old credit card of choice and suddenly I’m watching the Jessie Ware – Say You Love Me video.
Yep, that is all the new ending really is!!! Something you could have seen anywhere on the web FOR FREE!!!
Would you like to see it now?

So to recap: Ana and Christian are still broken up after their flogging/spanking fight. Both are sad, with Christian is unable to pay attention in a business meeting while we see Ana crying in the fetal position. Wasn’t she supposed to get a job at some point???? Roll credits.
Here are a couple of new tidbits I found for fans of the books who are hoping for something better in February of 2017 when 50 Shades Darker comes out.
From Time Magazine:
During an interview Wednesday with the Hollywood Reporter, Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley said 50 Shades Darker will be “more of a thriller” than the first installment, and she also spoke about rumors of tension between author E.L. James, the studio and director Sam Taylor-Johnson. Neither Taylor-Johnson nor the screenwriter of the first film will be returning for the second; James has enlisted her husband, Niall Leonard, to write the script. Filming of both films will start in Vancouver next summer.
Time to start investing some money in this project as there is big cash to be made. As of May 1st, 2015, worldwide box office total for the 50 Shades movie: $569,651,467.00 (Before DVD sales)
Production Budget for the first film: $40 million.
