UPDATED: New Photoshoot + Interview of Dakota for FLAUNT MAGAZINE


NEWS: Dakota will be honored at the 59th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival

 


From THR: A film from Iran that has been kept secret so far to ensure the safety of its delegation, along with Dakota Johnson, Stellan Skarsgard, Peter Sarsgaard and Vicky Krieps, has joined the lineup for the 59th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF).

Also on the first weekend of KVIFF 2025, namely on Sunday, July 6, Johnson will be honored with the KVIFF President’s Award and present her two latest films, Michael Angelo Covino’s Splitsville and Celine Song’s Materialists. “Dakota Johnson continues her family’s multigenerational acting tradition, as represented by her grandmother Tippy Hedren and both of her parents, award-winning Hollywood stars Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson,” fest organizers said. It should thus not come as a surprise that her film debut was at age 10, when she appeared in Crazy in Alabama (1999, directed by Antonio Banderas).”

 INTERVIEW

The new film “Materialists” is something of a bargain: essentially two films in one. It’s very much a sparkling romantic comedy in which a young woman finds herself torn between a wealthy man who can offer her a life of comfort and ease versus another much poorer man who nonetheless understands the deepest, truest parts of her inner self.

It is also filled with long, thoughtful conversations on the very nature of why love and relationships matter so much, the parts they play in people’s lives and effects on an individual’s sense of identity. The movie is both a thing and spends a lot of time considering the nature of that very thing, almost an essay about itself. And it does so with a stylish, romantic sophistication and ease.

Similarly, how did you know Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal were the right fit?

First of all, how funny Dakota is, which is really important for the character. I feel like Dakota has this shell to protect herself and approaches the world in a professional and beautiful way. If you push through that shell, inside, there’s a very deep soul. I love that she’s as delicate as an egg. I just fell in love with her heart, generally speaking, because she cares so much.

Pedro was the only one of your lead trio whom you knew before casting?

Yeah, with Dakota and Chris, we had lunch and talked about love and life. As soon as I met them, I walked away messaging A24 and my producers like, “Hey, I think Dakota is Lucy,” or “I think Chris is John.”
