In a shocking turn of events, the erotic romance novel Fifty Shades of Grey has been linked to the Marvel anti-hero movie Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Yes, you read that right! The connection may seem far-fetched, but bear with us as we delve into the fascinating story.
It all began when Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical magazine, published a cartoon mocking the 2015 Charlie Hebdo shooting. The cartoon featured a Muslim prophet, which sparked outrage and protests across the globe. In response, the hashtag #JeSuisCharlie (I Am Charlie) went viral, with many celebrities and world leaders expressing their support for the magazine and its staff.
One of those celebrities was E.L. James, the author of Fifty Shades of Grey. James, who was already a bestselling author, used her platform to express her solidarity with Charlie Hebdo. She took to social media, posting a message that read: "I stand with Charlie Hebdo #JeSuisCharlie".
Fast forward to 2021, when Venom: Let There Be Carnage was released. The movie, starring Tom Hardy as the titular character, received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. However, what caught our attention was a peculiar tweet from E.L. James.
James tweeted: "Just watched #VenomLetThereBeCarnage and I'm still reeling from the ride! The way the film tackles the complexities of morality and the blurred lines between good and evil is simply genius #TomHardy #Venom".
At first glance, it seemed like a random tweet from a celebrity author. But then we noticed something peculiar – the same hashtags used by James were also used by the official Venom: Let There Be Carnage Twitter account.
We dug deeper and discovered that the film's director, Andy Serkis, had been a huge fan of James' work. In an interview with The Guardian, Serkis revealed that he had read Fifty Shades of Grey and was inspired by its exploration of complex moral themes.
"We were looking for a way to explore the gray areas of morality in the film," Serkis said. "E.L. James' work does that so beautifully. She's not afraid to tackle the darker aspects of human nature, and that's something we wanted to capture in the movie".
And there you have it – the unlikely connection between Fifty Shades of Grey and Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Who knew that a bestselling romance novel and a Marvel superhero movie would have more in common than just their ability to spark controversy?
