Dakota Johnson is going to direct her first movie. The 35-year-old American actress tells this in an interview with Variety.
It is not yet known what kind of movie Johnson is going to direct. But the project she is working on is “close to her heart”.
“I’ve had the idea for a long time that I wasn’t ready to direct a movie yet,” she says. “I’m not that confident in myself.”
Yet it feels good for Johnson now, partly thanks to the involvement of actress Vanessa Burghardt. “She makes me feel safe. We know each other well.” The two previously worked together on Cha Cha Real Smooth (2022).
Johnson emphasizes that she is not giving up acting. “I would like to play a psychopath sometime. Or participate in an action movie. I am open to anything.”
The actress is best known for her leading role in the Fifty Shades of Grey films. She has also starred in films such as Madame Web, Materialists, and Suspiria.
