Dakota Johnson Talks Romantic Experiments In Cannes Comedy ‘Splitsville’, Upcoming ‘Materialists’ And “Juicy” Colleen Hoover Adaptation ‘Verity’


Actor-producer Dakota Johnson talks romantic experiments in Cannes comedy ‘Splitsville’, plus ‘Materialists' & Colleen Hoover adaptation ‘Verity’

“Somebody told me that people wear gowns and flip-flops and run into hotels,” she laughs, “That sounds like something I’d love to do.” In the past, she’s been more of a Venice person, she says, with The Lost Daughter, Black Mass, A Bigger Splash and Suspiria premiering at the Italian fest, rather than the French one. Johnson recently directed Loser Baby, her first short, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last fall, and she’s also appearing in Celine Song ’s June release Materialists as a matchmaker caught in a love triangle with an affluent businessman (Pedro Pascal) and an old flame (Chris Evans). Directed by Michael Showalter, Johnson stars as a ghostwriter hired by Josh Hartnett’s character to finish his writer wife Verity (Anne Hathaway)’s novels.
