Universal Nabs Rights to EL James' 'Fifty Shades' Followup 'The Mister'

After three movies and over $1 billion in box office revenue, Universal is reteaming with Fifty Shades of Grey author EL James.

The studio has picked up the rights to James' new novel The Mister, which follows a wealthy British aristocrat who falls in love with his Albanian housekeeper, unaware that she is on the run from vicious human traffickers.

James will produce the feature adaptation, having previously acted as a producer on the Fifty Shades trilogy. The 2019 romance novel was on The New York Times best-seller list for nine weeks and has sold in 33 territories internationally. -Source-
