And by “awesome” we mean really weird and kind of hilarious. The YouTube channel that previously brought us LEGO versions of [_Guardians of the Galaxy_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mFUCsuoaV4) and that [viral “first kiss” video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYZdLQCfyd0) are back, and this just might be their best work yet. It’s all the whips and chains and husky voices of the original _Fifty Shades_ trailer, made so much more awkward. Enjoy. ### Fifty Shades of Grey: TIME's Exclusive Portraits of the Cast and Director  Dakota Johnson (Anastasia “Ana” Steele) and Jamie Dornan (Christian Grey) photographed at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles on Jan. 13, 2015.
