As if you need more reasons to get excited about Friday.
Fifty Shades of Grey stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan are leaving very little to the imagination ahead of Friday's big release.
Director Sam Taylor-Johnson just shared these super-steamy black-and-white pics with W magazine, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the highly anticipated big-screen adaptation of E.L. James' best-selling erotic novel. In one of the more striking NSFW photos, Dakota goes fully nude, as Jamie casually reclines in a chair behind her.

Taylor-Johnson, who was a photographer before becoming a director, also includes a look at the very first sex scene in the film.
"There were probably 10 to 15 people in the room," she reveals to the magazine. "It’s an incredibly intimate shot in an unintimate setting."
Another racy shot features Dakota blindfolded and tied up on the bed.
"A shot of the scene where Jamie drips wine from his mouth into Dakota's, then seduces her with an ice cube," she explains.
Not surprisingly, reviews for the film have been mixed so far. ET's own John Boone comments, "There are problems ... but considering the
source material they had to work with, the end result is a pleasantly
watchable, occasionally enjoyable movie." Plenty of critics are also praising both Dakota and Jamie's performances.
"The filmmakers have also made Ana a somewhat tougher, more skeptical heroine, played by Johnson with a very appealing combo of little-girl-lost naiveté and gradually deepening assertiveness," Variety writes.
Dakota "sells the hell out of this film," Forbes notes, also praising Jamie. "Jamie Doran [is] stuck with the worst lines but [does] everything he can to sell it too."
