In a long interview with “Vanity Fair”, the 32-year-old actress returned to talk about the trilogy, in which she played the role Anastasia “Ana” Steele, defining the experience on the set as “psychotic”, also due to the constant interference of ‘ author of the books
A “psychotic” experience and without the sexual intensity she thought there would be, but seven years after the first film, Dakota Johnson does not regret having agreed to play Anastasia “Ana” Steele in “Fifty Shades of Gray. And in the next two sequels (“Fifty Shades Darker” of 2017 and “Fifty Shades of Red” of 2018). “I don’t think it’s a question of regrets – explained the 32-year-old actress in a long interview with Vanity Fair -. If I had known at the time what it would be like, I don’t think I would have accepted. I would have said to myself “this is a psychotic experience”. I had signed up to make a different version of the film which we then ended up making, but in any case no, I don’t regret it ».

The author of the books, EL James, has also contributed to complicate life on the set, whose constant interference has made the processing of the films chaotic to say the least. “James had a lot of creative control, she was with us all day, every day,” Johnson continued, “and she demanded that certain things just happen. There were parts of the books that wouldn’t work in a movie, like some inner monologues, which were incredibly bad. They didn’t work if you recited them aloud. It was always a battle. All time”.

We did the shooting following James’s directions and then we did the shooting of the film we wanted to do. The night before I was rewriting the scenes with the old dialogue, so that I could add a line here and there. It was chaos “
