Madame Web: Dakota Johnson says the released movie is not the one she agreed to film

 

Sony's recent film production, Madame Web (18%) , has been in the eye of the storm following its release, and the film's star, Dakota Johnson , has made surprising revelations about the significant changes the script has undergone since she joined the project, which makes us think that disaster was inevitable.

The film, directed by SJ Clarkson and starring Johnson as a New York paramedic with psychic powers, has been the target of harsh criticism since its release, being classified as one of the worst superhero films of the modern era. Despite Johnson's praised performance, the film has been criticized for its inconsistent script, questionable special effects, and confusing direction.

What did Dakota Johnson say about the Madame Web script?

Speaking exclusively to The Wrap , Johnson confessed that the script he initially read when accepting the role in Madame Web was radically different from what ultimately made it to the big screen. "There were drastic changes to the script," Johnson said with a nervous laugh. "And I can't even tell you what they were."

This statement sheds light on the tumultuous production of Madame Web and raises questions about the quality of the original script compared to the final product that has been the subject of relentless criticism.

Johnson's revelation raises two possible scenarios: either the original Madame Web script , written by a team consisting of Matt Sazama , Burk Sharpless , Claire Parker and director SJ Clarkson herself , was drastically modified during production, thus weakening the story. originally conceived, or, worse yet, the film was approved by the studio with a poor script that did not meet the expectations of those involved.

The uncertainty over changes to the Madame Web script casts new doubts on project management within the film industry and raises questions about the responsibility of film studios in producing high-quality films that respect the original vision of the film. filmmakers and satisfy public expectations.

On the other hand, Morbius was widely criticized and performed disappointingly both in critics and at the box office.
