There were parts of the books that just wouldn’t work on film, like the interior monologue, which was incredibly cheesy at times. It wouldn’t work to say it out loud. It was always a battle. Always. When I auditioned for that movie, I read a monologue from Persona”—Ingmar Bergman’s 1966 classic—”and I thought, ‘oh, this is going to be really special,’” says the actress, who appreciates the influence it has had on her career. Antonio Banderas.
Johnson said that in the filming of 50 shades more takes were made trying to save the tape.

The night before, she would rewrite scenes with the old dialogue so she could add a line here and there. It was like chaos all the time.”

Erika is a very nice woman, she was always nice to me and I appreciate her wanting me to be in those movies. Look, she was great for our races, ”she assures. “So amazing… A great luck. But it was weird. so so weird”
