50 Shades of Grey
Ladner Village Hardware has been sporting a new name this week as the Delta Street store is being used to film 50 Shades of Grey.

A portion of Delta Street was abuzz with activity this week as movie crews moved in to film scenes for the screen adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.

Ladner Village Hardware became Claytons Hardware for the movie based on the best-selling trilogy by British author E.L. James.

Some of the trees were given leaves and across the street the Delta Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop also received temporary signs.

The book is set in Washington and Oregon, so several locations around the Lower Mainland have served as locations for filming.

Released in 2011, Fifty Shades of Grey became an international best seller and received major attention in the media for its sometimes-explicit content. The first book was quickly followed by two more in 2012.

The Columbia Pictures movie, which is being directed by Sam Taylor-Wood, stars Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele and Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey.
