Dakota Johnson Says ‘Madame Web’ “Wasn’t My Fault” & Blames Flop On Decisions Made By People “Who Don’t Have A Creative Bone In Their Body”
Dakota Johnson says 'Madame Web's failure was due to some "people who don't have a creative bone in their body."
Nobody should be blaming the cast. This wasn't a situation where bad performances failed to connect the viewer with an otherwise excellent film. Madame Web was quite possibly the worst tentpole film by a major studio ever. It was definitely the worst comic book movie ever made, and that's a competitive field.
That is a pretty blunt statement for a Hollywood actress/actor. Calling executives that could land her on some blacklist.
But did she read the script before accepting the job or did she just see the check? Because it's true that it wasn't her performance that ruined the movie, but I think the disaster was coming long before filming even started.
From the article:
Sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something, and it’s one thing and then as you’re making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and you’re like, ‘Wait, what?’
The script she signed up for probably didn’t make it to the final movie. The production was likely a poorly coordinated mess with ever changing demands from the higher ups.
Yes, but script changes happen. The Super Mario Bros. movie from the 90s is a great example, as they received changes several times before filming started and pretty much every day after that.
Sure, she's probably not the reason the film is bad.
That being said, I have never once seen her in anything and not thought "god, couldn't they have cast anyone else?" So like, she sure as hell didn't help this film, or any other she's been in.
And on top of being a bad actress and a fairly unlikeable person in appearances, she's an enormous nepo-baby.
So somehow she managed to be no wrong here, but also entirely wrong here.
I bet they don’t even have famous dads!
Anyone remember when she showed up in the Morbius discord?
People like the venom films because they want to perform sexual acts with him. That was a false comparison.
They hated him because he told them the truth.
