This role will be Rita's most important part to date, she has previously appeared in Universal's hugely successful 'Fast & Furious 6' as a London street racer. Prior to that she starred in the 2004 British film 'Spivs', playing a character called 'Rosanna'.
The erotic tale follows Anastasia Steele, a college student who falls in love with a handsome and puzzling billionaire Christina Grey, who reveals to her his obsession with the erotic world of S&M.
Universal and Focus Films have already had to delay production, mainly due to Charlie Hunnam dropping out of the lead role, but the novel's author, EL James, confirms the cameras are rolling as she posted a photo on her Instagram that indicated the first few scenes were been filmed, the caption read "Action!"
The release of the film has also been delayed and the new date is now February 13th 2015, Valentine's Day weekend.
