The "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie, adapted from E L James' best-selling erotic novel, will steam up theaters on February 13, 2015. Take a look at the cast:
Entertainment Weekly. The 24-year-old, the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, has previously appeared in "The Social Network," "21 Jump Street" and the short-lived sitcom "Ben and Kate."" border="0" height="360" id="articleGalleryPhoto002" width="640"/>Dakota Johnson's casting as naive student Anastasia Steele was controversial, but the actress has said that she really "understands" E L James' sensual trilogy. "I think it's an incredible love story," she told Entertainment Weekly. The 24-year-old, the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, has previously appeared in "The Social Network," "21 Jump Street" and the short-lived sitcom "Ben and Kate."
Jamie Dornan was late to the "Fifty Shades" party, as "Sons of Anarchy" star Charlie Hunnam was initially cast to play the wealthy, S&M-loving Christian Grey. But after Hunnam dropped out, Dornan was tapped to fill the role. An Irish model-turned-actor, Dornan is most familiar to U.S. audiences for his work on ABC's "Once Upon A Time."
Eloise Mumford landed the role of Anastasia Steele's best friend, Kate Kavanagh. The 27-year-old has previously appeared in TV series "The River" and "Lone Star."
To bring Christian Grey's protective (and totally non-judgmental) bodyguard to life, the "Fifty Shades" team turned to actor Max Martini. You've seen him in TV shows like "The Unit," "CSI" and "Revenge," and on the big screen in "Saving Private Ryan" and "Pacific Rim."
Luke Grimes has been cast as Christian Grey's brother Elliot, who also happens to be in love with Ana's roommate/BFF, Kate. Lately, Grimes could be found on "True Blood" as the vampire James, and he also appeared in "Taken 2" and the TV series "Brothers & Sisters."
For the part of Ana Steele's mom, Carla, "Fifty Shades" has tapped Tony-winner Jennifer Ehle, who recently starred in "RoboCop" and "Zero Dark Thirty."
Victor Rasuk will play José, Ana's artistic friend who wishes he could be more. Rasuk is best known for his starring work in movies like 2002's "Raising Victor Vargas" and HBO's "How to Make It in America."
"Fifty Shades" fans were surprised when the production team announced that singer Rita Ora was cast as Christian Grey's fun-loving and outgoing sister, Mia. Best known for her music and style, Ora is also a budding actress with a few credits to her name.
Actress Marcia Gay Harden will portray Christian Grey's mother, Dr. Grace Trevelyan Grey.
To fill the role of Anastasia Steele's stepfather, Bob Adams, "Fifty Shades" has turned to "Arrow" star Dylan Neal. If you're a Hallmark Channel fan, you'll also recognize Neal from "Cedar Cove," which he stars in with Andie MacDowell.

(CNN) -- "Fifty Shades of Grey's" infamous "Red Room" has arrived.
The first trailer for the romance drama, which is adapted from E L James' best-selling erotic novel, gives fans a racy hint of what's to come. With a new version of Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" as its soundtrack, the 2½-minute clip closes out with a glimpse into the infamous scarlet boudoir of James' imagination.
Explaining 'Fifty Shades' wild success
Starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan, "Fifty Shades" tells the story of naive, mousy Anastasia Steele (Johnson), who falls for a handsome billionaire with "singular tastes" named Christian Grey (Dornan).
With so many fans intimately familiar with James' work, the movie has been under intense scrutiny during every step of production, from the choice of screenwriter and director to the leading cast.
When Johnson was announced as the lead actress last year with "Sons of Anarchy's" Charlie Hunnam as Christian Grey, it caused an uproar among fans who were rooting for different actors to land the roles.
