Writer Mark Bomback, who last wrote 'The Wolverine', has been tapped to polish the script of 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.
The movie adaptation on E L James' racy novel is having a troubled start after lead star Charlie Hunnam decided to drop out of the project at the last minute, causing a delay of about a month.
Patrick Marber of 'Notes on a Scandal' fame previously worked on the script and now Universal and Focus have brought in Bomback, said the Hollywood Reporter.
After Hunnam's departure, Jamie Dornan has been cast to play Christian Grey opposite Dakota Johnson's Anastasia Steele.
Bomback's specialty has been in action films likes 'Total Recall' remake, 'Unstoppable', 'Race to Witch Mountain', and 'Live Free or Die Hard'.
