Focus Features has released the first Fifty Shades of Grey image of Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey.  E.L. James' best-selling erotic novel centers on Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) and her introduction to a whole new world of sexual discovery and risqué activities in the hands of billionaire Christian Grey.  I'm not exactly the target audience for this movie, but I know the male lead being handsome is important.  So by that metric, they've nailed it.

Hit the jump to check out the Fifty Shades of Grey image.  The film, directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson (Nowhere Boy), also stars Jennifer Ehle, Luke Grimes, Marcia Gay Harden, Max Martini, Eloise Mumford, Dylan Neal, Rita Ora, Victor Rasuk, and Callum Keith Rennie.  Fifty Shades of Grey opens February 13, 2015.
