FSOG/FREED FILMING EXCLUSIVE CHRISTIAN GREYS ESCALA PENTHOUSE “BATHTUB”
After seeing an article about the bathtub used for the FSOG movie I knew I had to try to track it down while in Vancouver BC. Sure enough I found the manufacturer and contacted them for a visit. Blu Bathworks carries the tub and features it in their showroom near downtown Vancouver. They were gracious enough to allow me to visit and take photos and also shared with me how it ended up in Christian Greys penthouse.
The set designer Sandy Walker first contacted Blu Bathworks after searching at several locations for the perfect TUB. She came in and visited the showroom to look at the tub and decided it was perfect for the movie. Blu Bathworks loaned out the tub to them for the filming. After having the tub on the set the studio was interested in purchasing the tub, and Blu Bathworks was happy to oblige.
The FSOG set stylist decided she would need the Large Sized tub because of Jamie being so tall. The tub comes in two sizes and several different colors. They used the white matte large tub for the movie. The tub is shaped so that its narrower at one end and then is rounded at the opposite end. Perfect to sit in with it contouring along your body. It is made of a quartzite composite material that helps the water retain its heat. Uh yeah.
The filming of the penthouse bathroom scene took place in Vancouver in February 2014. Blu Bathworks had the bathtub shipped from their LA warehouse to Vancouver BC.
You can take a look at this beautiful bathtub at Blu Bathworks in Vancouver BC. It is also available in several other showrooms for purchase starting at $7,150.

Director Sam Taylor-Johnson Discusses 'Fifty Shades of Grey' On-Set Battles
Fifty Shades of Grey director Sam Taylor-Johnson recently sat down with The Hollywood Reporter and shed some light on the much talked about on set battles that she had with author and producer, E.L. James.
"Two different creative visions," Taylor-Johnson says of the dynamic with the novelist. "Her vision versus mine, and they were polar opposite. Every scene was fought over. It was tough. It was like wading uphill through sticky tar. Her thing was, 'This is what the fans expect.' I'd be like, 'Well, let's try and hit those marks but create a new universe at the same time.' "
Wading through sticky tar?! Not good! Johnson goes on to talk about how Universal eventually dropped her from the sequel, Fifty Shades Darker.
"There was a tentative plan that I would be involved with the following two," reveals Taylor-Johnson. "[But the studio] wanted to see how the first one went before any discussion. It went well in terms of box office. But less well with my relationship with
Erika."
James Foley was eventually hired to direct Fifty Shades Darker. While Fifty Shades of Grey grossed $571 million, Darkertopped out at $378.8 million. Taylor-Johnson laments that even though Fifty Shades of Grey became one the highest-grossing live-action films directed by a woman and broke numerous other records, new job offers didn't come pouring in.
"There weren't any flat-out offers straight away," she says. "It was ego-denting, which may not have been a bad thing. At the same time, I was like, 'Oh, I still have to keep fighting for stuff.' I just thought it was going to come a lot easier."
Taylor-Johnson eventually did land a new gig, and her first TV one at that - a Netlix original series called Gypsy. It stars Naomi Watts as a therapist who gets over-involved in her patients' lives. She's executive producer of the new series and directed the first two episodes.
"Netflix was involved," she says. "They were there. But not with any muscle-flexing need to show power. They left me alone to do what I do best."
Do you plan on watching Sam Taylor-Johnson's new Netflix series?
