The much anticipated 'Fifty Shades Darker' will be releasing on Feb. 10, 2017. Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson return as lovers in this sequel to E L James' worldwide bestseller 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'

Reports suggest that the release of the film by Universal is strategically placed in the month of February to coincide with the romantic Valentine's Day holiday. The first film 'Fifty Shades of Grey' in the franchise of the 'Fifty Shades' book series stole audience's hearts, grossing more than $560 million with its February release. Owing to this successful pattern, the next sequel 'Fifty Shades Freed' is also slated to release on Feb 9, 2018.

Confirming the rumors, director James Foley recently revealed that virtual reality is being utilized to bring 'Fifty Shades Darker' to life. During a VR on the Lot conversation in California, Foley said, " Yeah, there's marketing materials for behind-the-scenes [of Fifty Shades Darker], where after we finished shooting for the day, the actors would stay over and VR people would recreate a facsimile of the scene," according to Deadline.

Meanwhile, Morning News USA had reported a rumor saying Dornan and Johnson were having an affair secretly behind the scenes during the filming of 'Fifty shades Darker.' Reacting to the frenzy surrounding the rumor, Dornan clarified the issue in an interview with Marie Claire. He said that the rumor linking him to co-star Johnson is not true. In fact he very much blames the social media for unnecessarily sensationalizing the alleged affair.

Dornan further added in the interview that he is happy with his two children, and with his wife Amelie Warner. However, he admitted that his wife is not comfortable watching his intimate scenes with Johnson in the film.

Johnson, on the other hand, is reported to be very much single, after her split with her former boyfriend, Matthew Hit.
