It's about to get 50 shades of naughty in a theater near you.

The common question that was asked once fans were notified that the erotic fan fiction Fifty Shades of Grey was going to be made into a movie was, what the heck are they going to rate that thing? 

Well, screenwriter Kelly Marcel reassures fans that all of those sex-driven scenes from the book (which is practically the whole thing) will not be ignored for the film. 

"We are 100 percent going there," Marcel said in a recent interview with The Sunday Times. "It will be rated NC-17. It will be raunchy."

It's OK to cheer, ladies, because we're right there with you.

However, a rep for Universal tells E! News, "A screenplay has not yet been written, a rating has not been designated and we have no further comment."

But we can hope, right?!

(E! and Universal Pictures are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
