'Fifty Shades Darker' cast told not to make kinky talks during promo interviews

Actors Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson attends the premiere of Universal Pictures' 'Fifty Shades Darker' at The Theatre at Ace Hotel on February 2, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.

"Fifty Shades Darker" production does not want its cast members to get involve in kinky talks. Recent reports stated that Universal Pictures have banned the cast from making sexual and graphic references in their promo interviews.

The bosses of the most famous erotic film franchise in history have forbidden its upcoming movie's cast members, including lead pair Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, to talk about any kinky stuff during the movie's promotional events. Despite the sexual nature of the film, the moviemakers reportedly want to push the romantic elements of the movie instead. 

The stuffy stipulation has been let slip by Marcia Gay Harden, the Oscar-winning actress who plays the mother of Dornan's character Christian Grey in the movie. She was admittedly intimidated by Universal over her sexually toned tweets after which she "fell in line."

"I used to send out some naughty little tweets, along the lines of this 'sweater clasp' and I was told by Universal that I couldn't do it anymore, but I'll tell you one anyway," Harden told The Sun. "Maybe I went too far. I don't know."

Harden added that the movie makers wanted to promote the movie more as a love story, despite the reports that the movie is far raunchier than "Fifty Shades Of Grey." The sequel reportedly has 15 minutes of erotic action including two bondage scenes.

One of the sexually graphic scenes lasts for almost three minutes that reportedly made the Los Angeles audience laughing and screaming. The movie's other talked about scene shows Johnson's character Anastasia Steele strapped to a stainless steel bondage bar with foot restraints for a lovemaking session in Christian Grey's infamous Red Room of Pain.

The report comes after Dornan said in an interview with ET that it was easier filming intimate scenes this time as compared to the ones he shot for "Fifty Shades of Grey." Johnson also told the publication that production on the sequel was definitely not as petrifying as the first time.

"Fifty Shades Darker" is set to release on Feb. 10. Watch the movie's trailer below:
