Dakota Johnson talked about rewriting her scenes and reflected on James, who had full creative control over the film, about her time working on the series and with him.

Dakota Johnson told Vanity Fair about the author, who was also one of the film’s producers: “She had a lot of creative control, all day, every day, and she just demanded that certain things happen,” the actress said of the author, who was also one of the film’s producers. “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 wouldn’t work to say out loud. It was always a battle. Always. “

Many times, the actress had to rewrite scenes for herself.“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. 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.“

But Dakota Johnson doesn’t have any regrets about how hard it was to work on the sets of the movies. She told Vanity Fair, “I don’t think it’s a matter of regret. If I had known at the time that’s what it was going to be like, I don’t think anyone would’ve done it. It would’ve been like, ‘Oh, this is psychotic.’ But no, I don’t regret it.“
