Speaking about FiftyShadesofGrey author E.L. James, Dakota Johnson said: 'She had a lot of creative control, all day, every day, and she just demanded that certain things happen ... It was always a battle. Always'
Charlie Hunnam was originally set to star alongside Johnson as Christian Grey, but he dropped out, citing a scheduling conflict — Jamie Dornan eventually replaced him. Meanwhile, playwright Patrick Marber revised the script, but Johnson explained that James scrapped Marber’s script.
While filming, Johnson said they’d “do the takes of the movie that [author] Erika wanted to make, and then we would do the takes of the movie that we wanted to make.” She continued, “The night before, I would rewrite scenes with the old dialogue so I could add a line here and there. It was like mayhem all the time.”
As for speculation that she and co-star Dornan didn’t get along, Johnson debunks the rumors, explaining the close bond they had while filming. “There was never a time when we didn’t get along,” she said. “I know it’s weird, but he’s like a brother to me. I love him so, so, so much. And we were really there for each other. We had to really trust each other and protect each other.” Johnson also said that they “needed to be a team” especially given they “were doing the weirdest things for years.
