"Fifty Shades Darker," the movie sequel to "Fifty Shades of Grey," has already been given a release date, but there is still no word on who will replace director Sam Taylor-Johnson.Taylor-Johnson, who directed the first movie in the franchise based on E.L. James' hit book series, announced in late March that she will not return to helm the two succeeding films.While Universal Pictures has yet to announce who will take the spot, many reports have claimed that Angelina Jolie is being considered for the job. Considering the actress-director's experience, it appears to be possible. Below are some of the reasons why Jolie could direct Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in "Fifty Shades Darker."
1. Jolie had already been tapped for the project.Jolie was in talks to direct the first "Fifty Shades" film, according to Deadline. And while that did not pan out, the studio said they would be interested in taking on the actress-director should she express her intention to be part of the project.
2. Jolie is familiar with the story's theme.A fan suggested that there are similarities between the stories in James' book series and Jolie's film "Unbroken." The fan, who writes at LatersBaby.net, suggests that the concept of unconditional love in the second and third books in the series might entice Jolie to take on the project.
3. Jolie is not a stranger to sexy themes and characters. The actress exudes confidence and sexiness as a person without even trying. She is also familiar with translating that sexiness onscreen. With films like "Original Sin" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" under her belt, it would be safe to say that Jolie knows more than a thing or two about playing sexy characters and doing steamy love scenes..
