Are you sick of hearing about Fifty Shades of Grey, even before the film version movies intro production? Well it's already getting its first cinematic knock-off... and it isn't even a porno.
A "young adult" version based on Jamie McGuire's novel Beautiful Disaster is currently in the midst of a bidding war from the major studios. According to Darkhorizons (via The Hollywood Reporter) the novel centres on "college good-girl Abby Abernathy, who doesn’t drink or swear. She makes a bet with the lean, cut and tattoo-covered Travis Maddox - if she wins he must abstain from sex for a month, if he wins she must live with him for a month." Apparently it somehow delves into the kinky malarkey of 'Shades' which I still haven’t read - because I'm not a sexually frustrated housewife.
