The sequel to 'Fifty Shades of Grey' will be penned by author E.L. James' husband Niall Leonard, it has been revealed.
Producer Michael De Luca, said in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter that Leonard is an outstanding writer in his own right, with multiple established credits, and they are lucky to have him join the team.
Leonard is already an established author and screenwriter, having written for various British TV shows including 'Air Force One Is Down' and 'Wire in the Blood' alongwith novels such as Crusher, Incinerator and Shredder.
A new director for the sequel has yet to be announced following Sam Taylor-Johnson's exit due to creative differences with the author.
