Dakota Johnson has allegedly told her mother, Melanie Griffith, that she is not allowed to see Fifty Shades Of Grey under any circumstances. Dakota Johnson will play Anastasia Steele in the hugely anticipated adaptation, and she’s expected to show off plenty of skin in the role.
Dakota Johnson clearly isn’t comfortable with her mother seeing her in the sexually compromising situations that she is inevitably going to be in as the lead of Fifty Shades Of Grey.After being harangued/quizzed by TMZ outside of a restaurant, Melanie Griffith told the website that Dakota Johnson had warned her not to watch the film, and she had some specific reasons why. Said the actress,
"No I will not. Because my daughter doesn’t want me to. And I don’t think it will be appropriate."
Of course there are numerous explicitly erotic reasons why Melanie Griffith might find herself uneasy seeing her daughter in Fifty Shades Of Grey. E.L. James’ novel is racy to say the least. It revolves around Dakota Johnson’s Ana Steele, a literature student who begins a sexual relationship with the wealthy and mysterious Christian Grey, played by Jamie Dornan. As they grow closer and closer she learns more about Grey’s need to control every little thing in his life. Those of you who have seen the trailer for >Fifty Shades Of Grey will know that the film is expected to be just as sensual as the novel it is based on.

Anyone who has had the chance to see either Body Double, Fear City or Working Girl will know exactly what I’m talking about. But this picture will tell everyone else all they need to know.
