"Fifty Shades of Grey" Jamie Dornan, real-life sisters Jemima and Lola Kirke, and Ben Mendelsohn are getting together to star in Emma Forrest's indie dramedy "Untogether." The production is scheduled to begin on Oct. 17.
Dornan will play as a successful writer Nick, as Variety reported. He found his success with his memoir of wartime bravery. He is showered in wealth and women.
