Johnson’s comments about “Fifty Shades Darker” come just shy of one week before the movie is due to start filming. Last month, the Directors Guild of Canada, BC District Council production list revealed that the movie, which is listed under the working name “Further Adventures of Max & Banks 2 & 3,” will begin shooting in Vancouver Feb. 16.

While it has not been confirmed by Universal Pictures, YVR Shoots has reported that filming will take place at 110 E. Cordova St. from Feb. 16-24 and Feb. 29. The crew will also reportedly shoot several scenes at 120 Powell St., the location used for Ana’s apartment, in March.

“Fifty Shades Darker” will continue Ana and Christian's love story. Despite breaking up at the end of “Fifty Shades of Grey,” the new movie will see the former BDSM partners reunite. New casting announcements reveal that the movie will closely follow James’ book with Ana learning more about Christian’s life in "Darker." In January, James announced that Kim Basinger will star as Christian’s former lover Elena Lincoln/Mrs. Robisnon. Actress Bella Heathcote will play Christian’s former – and mentally ubstable – submissive, Leila Williams.

“Fifty Shades Darker” premieres Feb. 10, 2017. The third and final film in the series, “Fifty Shades Freed,” will debut in February 2018.
