Movie spotlight: "Fifty Shades of Black" and "Jane Got a Gun"


Aerosmith - Janie"s Got A Gun

Opening Friday: Marlon Wayans offers his skewed take on the Fifty Shades phenomenon, describing his character, Christian Black, thusly: Hes pretty bad in bed; hes pretty basic. Every time the [original film] had something serious or intense, we put a joke there. Kali Hawk is the spunky reporter Hannah, who, Wayans says, has more edge than the mousy Ana. Fifty Shades of Black (rated R for sexual content, graphic nudity and language) wasnt screened, but were pretty sure you can guess how it goes.

Also opening, after years of fits and starts, is Jane Got a Gun (rated R for violence and language), starring Natalie Portman as a frontier woman who turns to a former lover for help in saving her husband. Michael Fassbender was slated to play the lover and Joel Edgerton the chief outlaw; Fassbender dropped out and Edgerton took his place; Edgerton was replaced by Jude Law, who was replaced by Bradley Cooper, who was replaced by Ewan McGregor. Oh, and the director, Lynne Ramsay, went AWOL from the set; she too was replaced. And then the studio (Relativity Media) went bankrupt! Its a minor miracle this film made it to theaters, but it never made it to the screening room.
