Dakota Johnson, one of Hollywood’s hottest stars right now, recently spilled some seriously dark ambitions at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. While most actors dream of playing heroes or romantic leads, Dakota wants to dive headfirst into the twisted world of psychopaths. “There are roles I dream about. I’d love to play a psychopath, maybe in some action movie,” she confessed.
But wait, there’s more! Dakota is also gearing up to try her hand at directing. She plans to direct a small film soon, co-writing the script with Vanessa Bergart, with whom she shares a close collaboration. Though she admits she lacks confidence, Dakota is determined to step behind the camera. As a producer, she seeks projects that provoke strong emotional reactions—not necessarily sexual, but those that push the boundaries of what we usually see on TV and streaming platforms.
She especially highlighted her love for complex, nuanced female characters, even antiheroines who do things many might find awful but are driven by their own rage and reasons. “I want to see films focused on women who aren’t just stereotypes but real, layered personalities,” she added.
Dakota Johnson isn’t content to just be a pretty face on screen. Her desire to direct and produce emotionally charged films shows she’s ready to shake up an industry that often favors shallow stories. Will Hollywood be ready for this revolution? Only time will tell.
So, what about you? What dark role would you love to see Dakota play? Or maybe you have a killer idea for a film she should direct? Drop a comment and let’s see how many brave souls are out there in this story!
