Johnson shared that the author “had a lot of creative control, all day, every day, and she just demanded that certain things happen.”
For example, “The Lost Daughter” actor said there were sections in the novels, such as the inner monologue portions, that Johnson did not think would work in a film because they were “at times incredibly cheesy.”Screenwriter Kelly Marcel, in 2015, said on Bret Easton Ellis' podcast, per , that she could not watch the movie because the final product was so different to her original artistic vision. According to Marcel, the contention came down to the dialogue, as Johnson noted.
"I love him so, so, so much. And we were really there for each other. We had to really trust each other and protect each other," she said. Johnson said that director Sam Taylor-Johnson shot multiple takes to reflect “the movie that wanted to make," and the"movie we wanted to make." Johnson tried to incorporate some of Marber's dialogue back into her role.Nearly 10 years on, Johnson and James don’t seem to have any bad blood between them. Later in the interview, she praised the writer for being “a very nice woman," and said she was"grateful" for the experience.
