We’ve been counting down the days to Jamie Dornan’s debut as Christian Grey for some time now but a new challenger to the Fifty Shades movie has entered the ring.
Christian director Rik Swartzwelder has told Variety that his new film Old Fashioned will be released on Valentine’s Day, going head to head with the adaptation of E.L. James’ cult novel.
In an interview with Variety, Swartzwelder described the star as a “Godly romance” and a love story that “without apology, explores the possibility of a higher standard in relationships”.
The movie’s tagline is ‘Chivalry makes a comeback’ and Swartzwelder said he hopes he’s not alone in his belief “that there are others out there who desire more from – and the movies – than objectification or domination”.
