In a new Vanity Fair cover story, Dakota Johnson revealed the creative 'battle' she faced with 'Fifty Shades of Grey' author E.L. James.
Dakota Johnson’s TeaTime Pictures will unveil “Am I OK?” and “Cha Cha Real Smooth” at this year’s virtual Sundance Film Festival.Johnson told Vanity Fair how James’ vision for the films included “incredibly cheesy” inner monologues that “wouldn’t work to say out loud” onscreen. She also recalled how James, who served as a producer on the three franchise films, threw out a script after actor Charlie Hunnam dropped out of the project due to a scheduling conflict.
“If I had known at the time that’s what it was going to be like, I don’t think anyone would’ve done it. It would’ve been like, ‘Oh, this is psychotic.’ But no, I don’t regret it,” she said.Dakota Johnson is sad for the victims of alleged sexual misconduct. But she says she didn’t see bad behavior from Shia LaBeouf and other former co-stars.
During the interview she also quelled rumors about a feud with co-star Dornan, noting that “he’s like a brother to me. I love him so, so, so much.” Despite the creative headaches, Johnson said"[James] is a very nice woman, and she was always kind to me and I’m grateful she wanted me to be in those movies.”
“Look, it was great for our careers,” she added. “So amazing. So lucky. But it was weird. So, so weird.”
