Steve Buscemi as Christian Grey in Boo Ya Pictures Parody of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey”
With the hot buzz going on since Fifty Shades of Grey was released last Valentine's Day, several parodies have emerged in what would happen if Jamie Dornan was not chosen as the elusive Mr. Christian Grey.
One of which is what if comedian and award-winning actor Steve Buscemi portrayed the luscious Christian Grey. Boo Ya Pictures, known for its funny sketches, released a parody trailer on its YouTube channel, featuring Steve Buscemi as Christian Grey.
Boo Ya Pictures spliced on their editing skills to polish the video of him claiming as Christian Grey. You might recognize some of Buscemi's characters from Fargo, Mr. Deeds, The Wedding Singer and Boardwalk Empire to name a few.
As of this time the video had amassed 4.3 million views in You Tube since its debut on Feb 9. The parody was titled "50 Shades of Buscemi". Some of those who commented on the video said that they would rather see this movie than the one featuring Jamie Dornan. This version of the movie trailer is about as sexy as CollegeHumor's YouTube video of Gilbert Gottfried reading the novel that started it all.
On the other hand, after the end of Boardwalk Empire, Buscemi has two movies lined-up this year. First off is a reprisal of his character for the upcoming Hotel Transylvania 2 that will star pal, Adam Sandler. Selena Gomez and Adam Samberg will also reprise their roles for this upcoming 3D computer animated fantasy film that will be shown on September 25, 2015.
Buscemi's second movie is a drama thriller film titled, Oppenheimer Strategies. The film stars Richard Gere, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Dan Stevens, Michael Sheen and Josh Charles. Filming began on February 8, 2015 in New York City. The film is directed and written by Joseph Cedar.
