Universal has finally unveiled the first footage from the highly anticipated big-screen adaptation of E.L. James' erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey.

During Universal's presentation at CinemaCon Tuesday in Las Vegas, Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley debuted the footage, which according to The Hollywood Reporter, included the scenes of the main characters Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) and Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) meeting for the first time in his office. More glimpses of scenes lifted straight from the book were also unveiled, including the couple's meetings in a coffee shop and a hardware store -- immediately recognizable moments for the book's fans.
