Dakota Johnson says she signed up for a 'very different' 'Fifty Shades of Grey' movie

It seems Christian Grey wasn't the only dominant force in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" franchise.

The 2015 film followed the controlling businessman, portrayed by Jamie Dornan, and his BDSM relationship with Anastasia Steele, played by relative newcomer Dakota Johnson.

The erotic drama became a pop-culture phenomenon, spawned two follow-up movies and helped launch Johnson into Hollywood stardom.

James, who wrote the books that inspired the movies.
