Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson return as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in “Fifty Shades Darker,” the second chapter based on the worldwide bestselling Fifty Shades phenomenon.

Expanding upon events set in motion in 2015’s blockbuster film that grossed more than $560 million globally, the new installment arrives for Valentine’s Day and invites you to slip into something a shade darker.

When a wounded Christian Grey tries to entice a cautious Ana Steele back into his life, she demands a new arrangement before she will give him another chance.

As the two begin to build trust and find stability, shadowy figures from Christian’s past start to circle the couple, determined to destroy their hopes for a future together.

Also returning from Fifty Shades of Grey are Academy Award® winner Marcia Gay Harden, Jennifer Ehle, Victor Rasuk, Luke Grimes, Rita Ora, Eloise Mumford and Max Martini, who are joined for the first time by Oscar® winner Kim Basinger, Bella Heathcote and Eric Johnson.

“Fifty Shades Darker” is directed by James Foley (Fear, House of Cards) and once again produced by Michael De Luca, Dana Brunetti and Marcus Viscidi, alongside E L James, the creator of the culture-spanning blockbuster series.  The screenplay is by Niall Leonard, based on the novel by James.

5 Ways to Win Back Your Love this Valentine’s Day

5 Ways to Win Back Your Love this Valentine’s Day

In honor of Valentine’s Day and the upcoming movie “You’re Killing Me Susana” starring Gael García Bernal and Verónica Echegui, hitting theaters on Feb. 17, we have a few ideas to help you get your love back.

When it comes to relationships and love, mistakes happen.

If you’re sitting at home pining for your love or conjuring up ways to get someone back in your life, take this five ideas from the movie and get ready for the road back to love.

One day, Eligio (Bernal) wakes up to find that his wife Susana (Echegui) has packed her bags for good.

She’s gone and has no intention of coming back, but he still decides to fight for his woman and follows her across the continent to win her love again.

Below are ways you can rekindle that flame, makeup 
with your ex and spend Valentine’s Day together:

1. Enjoy a nice romantic dinner for two. Eligio wasn’t going to let his love move away without a word. A nice romantic feast is a great way to get back into someone’s good graces and belly.

2. Travel as far as you have to and win them back. Eligio’s love knows no borders, so when he has to travel a long distance, face extreme weather and a great culture shock, he does it without thinking twice because he knows Susana is worth it.

3. Defend them at all costs. When you love someone, you have to protect them as you’d protect the love they give you. Eligio travels thousands of miles to get Susana back, and even though she has found solace in the arms of another, he’s not going out without a fight.

4. Enjoy a long romantic walk together. Eligio’s boyish good looks and charm aren’t the only tricks up his sleeve. He knew that all he needed was time alone with Susana, so even a stroll through the neighborhood was long enough for them to remember the times when they first fell in love.

5. Take a spontaneous trip together. Remember, spontaneous trips often result in some of the best memories.

So what do you think? Does Eligio get his girl back? Don’t miss “You’re Killing Me Susana (Me Estás Matando Susana)” starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Verónica Echegui in theaters Feb. 17.
