The first trailer for the Fifty Shades of Grey film has been released.

Jamie Dornan, who plays powerful businessman Christian Grey, and Dakota Johnson, who stars opposite him as Anastasia Steele, the college student he seduces, both feature heavily in the racy two-and-a-half minute preview. Watch it below.

Sam Taylor-Johnson (Nowhere Boy) directed the eagerly-anticipated film, while the supporting cast includes Jennifer Ehle, Marcia Gay Harden, Luke Grimes, Eloise Mumford and Rita Ora, who is providing a song for the soundtrack.

Since they were first published in 2011, the three Fifty Shades novels by EL James – aka Erika Leonard, a former TV executive from west London – have collectively sold over 100 million copies worldwide.

Meanwhile, the first official picture of Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey has recently been unveiled – check it out here. The film will be released on February 14, 2015.

(FYI, here is another interesting picture we found recently of Jamie Dornan near-naked in the shower).
