Yes, you read that right. The director of the steamy 50 Shades of Grey, Sam Taylor-Johnson, has departed the Ted Kennedy film Chappaquiddick. Apparently, he's not the man to make a movie on Kennedy.

According to Deadline Hollywood, producer Mark Ciardi said of Jason Clarke, who will be playing Ted Kennedy: “Clarke is the perfect choice to take on the complexities of this role.”

Scotch fumes continue to rise from Kennedy’s Arlington grave to this day.

I was coming around the corner when I heard someone say, “Hold muh beer” followed by laughter. By the time I got to Teddy’s grave, there was a strong smell of urine. I’m not sure what it was all about.

The Old Guard at Arlington mounts special watch over Teddy’s grave: to prevent what you described (for real) and to keep the homeless from inhaling those Scotch fumes.

Personally, I can’t wait to watch “50 Shades of Black” tonight, a parody by the Wayans’ Bros-—who still are fearless when it comes to PC stuff.

Sam is a chick.

These days it's hard to tell but you could be right.

Sam Taylor-Johnson apparently has standards. Making S&M porn films is one thing, but a Teddy Kennedy biopic would be a meaningless blur of drunkenness, corruption, entitlement, exploitation, murder, and sleazy sex. The film stock itself would rot.
