Actress Dakota Johnson revealed that she was disappointed with the idea of starring in the “Fifty Shades of Gray” trilogy, but not because of the nudity and sex scenes. In an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, she confessed to being angry about the tacky production.
Johnson said he auditioned to star in a different version of the one shown on the screens. “When I auditioned for this movie, I read a monologue from ‘When Two Women Sin’ and I thought, ‘Oh, this is going to be really special,'” she explained. The work Johnson cited is a critically acclaimed 1966 classic by Ingmar Bergman.
“If I had known at the time it would have been like this, I don’t think anyone would have made it,” he said.
Anastasia Steele’s performer was clear about her disinhibition for the role. “I’m a sexual person and when I’m interested in something, I want to know all about it,” she explained. “That’s why I made those ‘nude movies’.”
On what went wrong, he highlighted the influence of writer EL Jones, author of the books, in the direction of production. “He had a lot of creative control, all day, every day, and just asked for certain things to happen. There were parts of the books that just wouldn’t work in the movie, like the internal monologue, which was incredibly mawkish at times,” he said. declared Dakota. .
Eventually, the script kept changing, changing … “It was always a battle. Always,” he said. Until Charlie Hunnam of “Sons of Anarchy” stopped playing Christian Gray and, according to Dakota, EL James was so furious at his departure that he scrapped Patrick Marber’s original script. And from there it all began to fall apart.
According to the actress, the only scene from the original screenplay that was inserted in the first feature film was the negotiation between Anastasia and Christian for their sex contract. “And it’s the best scene in the whole movie,” she said.
On co-star Jamie Dornan, who plays Christian Gray, the actress was full of praise: “There was never a time when we didn’t get along. I know it’s weird, but to me, he’s like a brother. . I love him so much., So, so much. And we were really there for each other. We really had to trust each other and protect each other. “
“We did the shooting of the movie that Erika (EL James’s name) wanted to do, and then we did the shooting of the movie that we wanted,” Johnson revealed. “The night before, I was rewriting dialogue scenes to add a line here and there. It was chaos the whole time,” he added.
“There are things I can’t say yet because I don’t want to hurt anyone’s career and I don’t want to hurt anyone’s reputation, but Jamie and I have been treated very well. Erika is a really nice woman, and has always been kind to. me and I’m grateful to her because she wanted me to be in these movies, ”Johnson said.
But he pointed out that he had a hard time swapping director Sam Taylor-Johnson, in charge of the first film, for Sam Foley, who wrapped up the trilogy. “It was different doing these weird things with a man behind the camera. Just a different energy,” he explained.
“I was young. I was 23. So it was scary,” he reflected. “He has turned into something crazy,” she admitted. “There have been a lot of disagreements. I’ve never been able to talk about it honestly, because you want to promote a film the right way, and I’m proud of what we did in the end and it all goes right it should, but it was complicated.” , has explained.
“Look, it’s been great for our careers. So amazing. I was lucky. But it was weird. So, so weird.”
Dakota Johnson’s latest release, “Cha Cha Real Smooth,” premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and streamed for less than two weeks on Apple TV +. Next, we will see her in Persuasion, an adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel that will arrive on Netflix on July 15th. And filming will soon begin on “Madame Web”, a Sony production based on the Spider-Man comics.
