Steamy or steamier?

Fans of E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey series may be able to choose between the two as the team behind the film adaptation of the novel reveals the possibility of two versions of the same movie.

Fifty Shades producer Dana Brunetti says the two versions of the film -- one rated R and another rated NC-17, both in the United States -- is a response to fans' request for a no-holds-barred version.

"What we're kind of hearing from the fans is they want it dirty, they want it as close as possible [to the book]," Brunetti tells movie blog Collider.

As a response to the call, he suggests making two versions of the movie.

"I always thought it would be really cool if we released the R version and then we had an NC-17 version that we released a few weeks later," Brunetti says. "So everybody could go and enjoy the R version, and then if they really wanted to see it again and get a little bit more gritty with it then have that NC-17 version out there as well."

Brunetti also thinks the move will also be beneficial for the studio because "they'd get a double dip on the box office."

This is not the first time a movie gets two versions. Early this year, the Danish movie 'Nymphomaniac' is slated to get two versions but The Guardian reports that director Lars Von Trier decided to scrap the 'softcore' version and went for a two-part four hour version which contains explicit scenes. The movie is set for release on Christmas Day in Copenhagen.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for Australian classification told Sydney Morning Herald that although it was not possible to directly compare the US classification with that of Australia, the closest possible classification for the two version of Fifty Shades would be MA 15+ for the R rating and R 18+ for the NC-17 rating.

Just last week, Entertainment Weekly featured the actors who will play the lead characters of the movie, namely Jamie Dornan and Dakota Jackson; the photos of whom serve as a preview of what to expect of them as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, respectively.

Dornan was not the first choice to play the role of kinky businessman Christian Grey -- it was initially given to Charlie Hunnam, who backed out from the project.
