In a new interview with Bustle, Johnson not only reveals some details about the production, but also opens up about what audiences want to see and his move away from this type of potential blockbuster.
Sincere and correct
When asked about the start of Madame TeiaDakota Johnson reveals that the whole promotional process was quite tiring as he left the premiere in Los Angeles, traveled to Mexico City, got pneumonia and then the film premiered and everyone hated it.
She also said that she completely understands why this happened and gave a very heartfelt explanation, which makes a lot of sense considering the negative reception and box office failure.
It's very difficult to make these big films and what happened with him started to happen with the smaller ones, what's terrible is that all the decisions are made by a committee. And art is no use if it's done like that. Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around him. You can't make art based on numbers and algorithms.
