Time for some more news from the upcoming 50 Shades of Grey movie. Just a few weeks after Charlie Hunnam updated the world as to why he abandoned the role of Christian Grey, Dakota Johnson finds herself in the news. The sexy starlet, who will be portraying Anastasia Steele, recently rocked a bikini so well in a photo, that fans are no doubt clamoring to see her in the new sex-themed flick.

In case you missed the sexy new pics, you can check them out over at our friends at E! Online. The site also took time to praise Dakota's rock hard body:

"With a body like that, it's no wonder Christian Grey wanted to get Anastasia Steele into his Red Room of Pain...On Monday in Sicily, Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson gave a preview, perhaps, of what fans might expect to see in the movie when she showed off her slim, toned bikini body in a tiny two-piece."

While it's no secret that Dakota has an amazing body, her onetime costar Charlie Hunnam is a bit more of a mystery. Though, even he recently opened up about his now legendary casting fiasco.

Just a few short weeks before filming was set to begin, Charlie Hunnam announced that he would be walking away from the highly coveted role.

While this came as a shock to many, others predicted that Charlie would abandon the lead role. After all, fans reacted with such vitriol at him being cast in the film, that their outrage didn't go unnoticed.

However, the official reason given for his departure was a scheduling conflict. It turns out things were a bit more complicated than that.

The hunky actor recently spoke with Moviefone, where he was more than willing to speak about the role he walked away from. Turns out, Charlie was having a nervous breakdown:

"I wouldn't have signed up in the first place if I didn't want to do it...It was a really, really difficult time in my life. And then I just fell in love, creatively...I started talking about this thing and I just got so excited. I fell in love with the character and started seeing him and becoming intoxicated...[Due to a hectic work schedule] I just had like ... frankly, something of a nervous breakdown."

What do you think about Charlie's interview? Do you believe that it was a simple scheduling conflict that led to him dropping out? Did you see the new photos of Dakota? Does it make you more likely to see the film?
