Video: '50 Shades of Grey' Trailer Meticulously Recreated With LEGOs
If the 50 Shades of Grey trailer is too hot/dumb for you, we guarantee this LEGO version will suit you better.
The trailer, made by Antonio and Andrea Toscano, meticulously recreates the real trailer for the film with LEGOs. LEGO Jamie Dornan even has chiseled abs.
Okay, now do Magic Mike XXL.
Doing a 50 Shades parody is really in right now. Ellen did one. Here's one with two ladies. Here's one with Barbies where Barbie is the dominant one. I mean, we could do this all day.
The LEGO parody probably won't be the last we see, but we do have a reminder for anyone who goes to see the film when it opens next weekend: you are not allowed to bring props, Mashable reports. Ryan Noonan, a spokesperson for AMC Theatres, told Mashable that while costumes are typically welcome, "We do not permit weapons (real or fake), or props/costumes that would make guests uncomfortable, or detract from the moviegoing experience."
No whips, chains, floggers, handcuffs, canes, ballgags, or portable bondage stocks of any kind. This is not The Rocky Horror Picture Show, you guys, it's a serious romance about spanking!
