The title may be a bit deceiving, but there will be a Fifty Shades of Grey album released next month.
The 16-track album, filled with classical compositions from Bach, Chopin, and others. Author EL James selected the tracks, which reportedly inspired her while writing the trilogy.
Universal Pictures and Focus Features have also acquired the motion picture rights to the first novel in the series. The Social Network producers Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti have been selected for the project, who have yet to enlist a writer, director, or cast for the upcoming film.
