Universal and Focus had bagged the rights to the &#39;Fifty Shades&#39; trilogy for USD 5 million in March after a heated Hollywood bidding war. <img alt="Fifty Shades of Grey" src="/imagedata/2012/jul/Fifty-Shades-of-Grey.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 771px; " /> The books, about a torrid love affair between a college student and a mysterious billionaire, have sold 31 million e-book and print copies worldwide, the Hollywood Reporter said. &quot;At its core, &#39;Fifty Shades of Grey&#39; is a complex love story, requiring a delicate and sophisticated hand to bring it to the big screen. Mike and Dana&#39;s credits more than exemplify what we need in creative partners, and we&#39;re glad to have them as part of our team,&quot; said Universal co-chairman Donna Langley in a statement. James said, &quot;I am thrilled that Mike has joined Team Fifty. He brings a passion for and in-depth understanding of the characters and story and a wealth of experience in making quality films.&quot;
