Is Nina Jacobson in the running to produce ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’?

As “Fifty Shades of Grey” author E.L. James and lit agent Val Hoskins spend the week in town to discuss a feature adaptation of the bestselling erotic novel with high-level execs at Universal Pictures and Focus Features, the search for producers has narrowed significantly, with a decision expected soon.

James and Hoskins have already met with dozens of producers, some based on the Universal lot, others off, though all are being asked to commit to the project full-time. Production companies were quick to trot out female producers in an effort to entice James, though sources say the producer, and furthermore the director, won’t necessarily be female just because women comprise the majority of the book’s fan base.

Sources tell Variety that the studios have focused their search on a shortlist that now includes (in alphabetical order): Michael De Luca; Ron Howard and Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment; Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson of Color Force; Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher of Double Feature Films; and Scott Stuber of Bluegrass Films. Other names are believed to still be in the mix.
