Johnson continued, “It was one of those moments where you’re just like, ‘How could you not have warned us?’ We’re in a room with some execs.

“It was always a battle,” the actor said. “There were a lot of different disagreements,” Johnson said. Specifically, Johnson revealed that James wanted to keep protagonist Anastasia Steele’s “incredibly cheesy” inner monologues in the movie, even though they “wouldn’t work to say out loud.”

Yes, she’s the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, but she’s also the icon who gave us the Ellen interview meme to end all memes in 2019—and that simple phrase “Actually, that’s not the truth, Ellen” now has me hooked for life. And I said, ‘I have a couple of NFTs.’ And they said, ‘Oh really? They’re not all cut from the same cloth, you see; for every Colin Hanks or Maya Rudolph, you get a, well, Chet Hanks, or the kid of some entertainment scion who’s trying way too hard to get you to buy into her found-objects jewelry line.

“We’d do the takes of the movie that Erika wanted to make, and then we would do the takes of the movie that we wanted to make. Last but not least, Johnson brings to attention the fact that, a lot of times, actors sign on to projects that completely change form as production starts to unfold. I was 23. “She had a lot of creative control, all day, every day, and she just demanded that certain things happen. Johnson rewrote scenes based on playwright Patrick Marber’s (Closer) script revisions – which were ultimately scrapped by James after Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) dropped out of the project. It’s always surprising, though, to discover that people involved in large scale projects may not share general public enthusiasm.

"I think what I was really trying to get across is, if a door opens to you and you like what you see on the other side, walk through it," she shared. "I look back at my life and think how fortunate I am to have had the opportunities that have been presented to me," she said. "If you don’t like what you see on the other side of that door, slam it shut! It was just … just a sad situation. "It was … a sad situation.

Dakota Johnson is not a fan of the Twitterverse "deciding if someone just all of a sudden doesn't exist anymore."

"What I struggle with in terms of cancel culture is the term cancel culture—the whole concept behind canceling a human being, like they’re an appointment. I want to believe in the power of a human being to change and evolve and get help and help other people. She is not a fan of this as the idea of "canceling a human being" does not sit right with her. I can't believe that people are watching [the trial] like it's a show. She also commented on the televised defamation trial and said it was "crazy" that people watched it and treated it like a television drama series. Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson is not a fan of "cancel culture" and even particularly hates that term.

Dakota Johnson revealed that "a lot of disagreements" were involved in the filming process of the hit "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy.

“There were parts of the books that just wouldn’t work in a movie, like the inner monologue, which was at times incredibly cheesy. “She had a lot of creative control, all day, every day, and she just demanded that certain things happen,” Johnson was quoted as saying. “I signed up to do a very different version of the film we ended up making.”

The Fifty Shades actress clears many things in her recent interview with a magazine. Here's what she said about the rumours related to co-star Jamie Dornan.

Johnson is preparing for her next big release Madame Web, which is based on a comic book of the same name. The actress also recalled the time when they both did the weirdest of things for many years.

And it’s the best scene in the whole movie.” “I’m a sexual person…” she told Vanity Fair. “ That’s why I did those big naked movies.” Though, she adds, “I signed up to do a very different version of the film we ended up making.” “I was young. “There were parts of the books that just wouldn’t work in a movie, like the inner monologue, which was at times incredibly cheesy.

It's one thing to read a badly written book about this stuff; it's another to get it up on the screen. The whole thing sounds like it was a complete mess, though neither Johnson nor Dornan's careers have suffered. We had to really trust each other and protect each other." Back then, she was the lead in the film version of the E.L. James bestselling book " Fifty Shades of Grey," leading to two sequels to match the other books in the trilogy. In the story, she said she liked Taylor-Johnson's approach to the film, but that the author of the books had creative control and kept changing the script. Johnson said they'd shoot the takes the way James — who goes by Erika — wanted them, and then Johnson would rewrite scenes with the old dialogue the night before, so she could add in some of the previously written lines.
