Dakota Johnson was asked by MTV during a video interview on her “Madame Web” press tour to reveal her “most traumatic audition story.” She didn’t need a lot of time to pick one and revealed that a television creator once slammed her as “pretentious” simply because she introduced herself to the crew that was in the audition room. Johnson did not name the creator, nor did she reveal what show she had gone in to audition for at the time.
“I got told by a creator of a show…the feedback was that I was pretentious because I shook everyone’s hand in the [audition] room,” Johnson said. “I was like, ‘What?’ [Like] I wasted their time because I was like, ‘Hey, I am Dakota,’ and introduced myself and shook everyone’s hands.”
Johnson then joked about that creator: “Oh, I’ve ruined his life.”

Exclusive: A wild pre-holiday auction for a Ryan Reynolds global heist comedy vehicle is coming to a close, with Netflix winning the deal. Deadline revealed the untitled pitch last week, when the creatives did the rounds to pitch directly — something that hasn’t happened much since the pandemic –and the 7-figure bids began hitting the table. Dana Fox will write the script, and Simon Kinberg is producing with Reynolds.
The pitch is untitled, but I’ve heard it has great parts for an ensemble in the spirit of an Oceans Eleven. It is also set in the international arena. The idea originated from Fox and Kinberg, and they pitched it to Reynolds and Maximum Effort.
There were eight buyers in the mix, and that whittled down to five and finally four before Netflix prevailed. Sources said Fox will be paid mid 7-figures to write it and the producing deals are high 7-figures.

Dave Annable is longing Brothers & Sisters and feels like the series should have a reunion, twelve years after it aired its last episode.
“I miss that show,” the actor told People in a recent interview. “We were canceled before we knew we were going to be, so we didn’t get to say goodbye.”
The ABC family drama created by Jon Robin Baitz aired for five seasons with a total of 109 episodes produced.

Exclusive: Young actress Maggie Elizabeth Jones (Ben and Kate) has been cast as one of the leads of CBS’ new Chuck Lorre-Marco Pennette multi-camera comedy series B Positive, headlined by Thomas Middleditch and Annaleigh Ashford.
Jones has joined the series in a recasting; a different teen actress played the role in the James Burrows-directed B Positive pilot, the only 2020 broadcast pilot that was completed before the coronavirus-related production shutdown started in mid-March.
Created by Pennette, B Positive is about a therapist and newly divorced dad (Middleditch) who is faced with finding a kidney donor when he runs into a rough-around-the-edges woman from his past (Ashford) who volunteers her own. Together they form an unlikely bond and begin a journey that will change both of their lives.
Jones plays Maddie. Wise beyond her years, Maddie acts as a parent to her parents Drew (Middleditch) and Julia (Sara Rue), who are divorced.

Dakota Johnson to Star in ‘Rodeo Queen’ Mockumentary Series Directed by Carrie Brownstein for Amazon
Dakota Johnson is set to star in and executive produce the mockumentary series “Rodeo Queen” currently in development at Amazon, with “Portlandia’s” Carrie Brownstein attached to direct.
“I Am Not Okay With This” creator Christy Hall is creator and showrunner on the project, which centers on “an ensemble of Rodeo Queen hopefuls as they compete for the coveted crown.”
Dakota Johnson will serve as an executive producer on the series via her TeaTime Pictures banner, alongside Hall, Brownstein, Ro Donnelly and Elisa Ellis.

In a scene toward the end of Apple TV+’s latest, “Home Before Dark,” the show’s heroine — Hilde Lisko, a 9-year-old investigative journalist with little patience for liars and secrets — gets up on a cafeteria table and stares down a classmate she had a run-in with earlier in the episode.
“You asked who cares about the truth,” she says, defiant. “I do. Because if the truth doesn’t matter, nothing ever will.”
Hilde’s speech, delivered with verve by “The Florida Project” breakout Brooklynn Prince, is met with a smattering of applause — followed quickly by a fistful of cafeteria meat to the face, because “Home Before Dark” takes more than a few cues from classic 1980s coming-of-age films like “E.T.” and “Stand By Me.”
Maybe Hilde’s classmates don’t share her passion for the truth. Or maybe they just care about food fights more than facts, because, you know,...

Hilde Lisko is a budding journalist and a fourth-grader and, thanks to the incredible talent of Brooklyn Prince (The Florida Project), both are completely believable.
As we find out early in Home Before Dark Season 1 Episode 1, Hilde is a force to be reckoned with. The fact that this force comes in the package of a nine-year-old girl makes Home Before Dark equal measures intriguing, empowering, and fun.
I must admit, I felt a connection to Hilde. We’re both writers, albeit I’m far from 9-years-old.
We both hate it when people use the term, “young lady” because even at the ripe old age of five I thought it sounded condescending.
Mayor Fife: I don’t like your tone, young lady. You have no idea what you’re getting into.
Hilde: I feel like being called a young lady should be a compliment but it never sounds like it is.

Since launching in November, Apple TV+ has staked a claim in the great streaming wars, with series across multiple genres. With its topical subject matter and A-list stars, “The Morning Show” landed with Golden Globes voters, nabbing three nominations but failing to secure a win. M. Night Shyamalan’s “Servant” was a finely crafted experiment in serving a half-hour horror series, proving Apple had enough sense to give auteurs free reign. “Dickinson” was one of the best new queer shows of the year, already leading to a Season 2 for creator Alena Smith.
Now, Apple is enlisting another name director, “Crazy Rich Asians” helmer Jon M. Chu, to bring his vision to the growing platform. Chu is executive producer on “Home Before Dark,” a tense mystery created by showrunners Dana Fox and Dara Resnik (“Daredevil”). The series stars “The Florida Project” breakout talent Brooklynn Prince as a young girl following a...

When Emily Halpern and Sarah Haskins’ “Booksmart” landed on the Black List of best-liked unproduced scripts back in 2009, it promised a tantalizing twist on the high school comedy: “Two overachieving high school seniors realize the only thing they haven’t accomplished is having boyfriends, and each resolves to find one by prom.” Despite the heat of a Black List endorsement, the screenplay languished, eventually getting a 2014 rewrite from filmmaker Susanna Fogel (best known for her appropriately female friendship-powered films “Life Partners” and “The Spy Who Dumped Me”). And then… nada, not for whole years.

It’s been confirmed that the upcoming Jumanji remake will be helmed by the guy who also directed Sex Tape — Jake Kasdan.
Kasdan’s career sways smoothly between movies, including Zero Effect, Friends with Kids, and Bad Teacher, and sitcom TV series such as New Girl, Californication, Ben and Kate, Fresh off the Boat, and others.

Should we feel bad for Eddie Huang? The restaurateur whose memoir about his childhood inspired the current ABC sitcom "Fresh Off the Boat" went on a multi-post Twitter rant after this week's episode, complaining that, since the pilot, the show has drifted far from the reality of his own experience, to the point where "it got so far from the truth that I don't recognize my own life."
That's certainly unfortunate, even for a guy who received a tidy sum for the TV rights to his autobiography. No one wants to see his or her experience distorted and broadcast to millions. Then again, what did he expect? It's a network sitcom. It's generally going to avoid any bleak reality that can't be resolved in 22 minutes.

After SNL threw itself a little birthday bash, it’s back to regularly scheduled programming at Studio 8H.
The Host: Between the monologue, one whole sketch, and the punchline of another sketch, you would think that Fifty Shades of Grey is Dakota Johnson’s first acting role. Even though it is her big break, Johnson has had major roles before (Ben and Kate forever!) and she will likely have roles in the future. But the titillation of being able to make jokes at the expense of Bdsm is just too strong for the writers this week. And it’s easy to not blame them, because Johnson comes off as utterly uncomfortable with her duties tonight. Johnson appears to be a bundle of nerves during her monologue,...

Unless you've been purposely avoiding your local multiplex for the last three weeks or so, you're most likely already uncomfortably aware of the Fifty Shades of Grey juggernaut that has put our nation's movie theaters in a chokehold since Valentine's Day. The bondage-heavy love story might not appeal to everyone, but the film at least boasts one excellent byproduct with mainstream charm: rising star Dakota Johnson.

I get it: There are more than a few concerned fans worried that tonight’s “Saturday Night Live” might be a less-than-stellar edition. Most know host Dakota Johnson from her most recent film role, which isn't exactly a "Bridesmaids"-esque romp. But think of it less as one hosted by the star of “Fifty Shades Of Grey” and rather one hosted by the former lead of the late, great Fox comedy “Ben And Kate.” Dakota Johnson might be more (or near-exclusively) known for the former, but she was straight-up funny on the latter. And while we’ll probably see more references to Christian Grey than Ben Fox, I just don’t have the same hopeless feeling I did before Blake Shelton took the stage in January. (Also? I'm never going to see "Fifty Shades Of Grey," but this recap is going to be a sarcasm-free when it comes to that book/movie franchise.

Even if it’s artfully crafted, sensual and romantic, and joins "Basic Instinct," "Eyes Wide Shut," "Body Double," "Little Children," "9 1/2 Weeks" in the pantheon of Hollywood kink, it’ll still carry a burden: E.L.

But it’s also the butt of many a joke; When rumors leaked that Emma Watson was up for the film adaptation’s lead role, Anastasia Steele, she tweeted "'Who here actually thinks I would do 50 Shades of Grey as a movie?

Eliza Coupe has an uncannily innate ability to seem like the most composed and least poised person at the same time on screen. It is a trait that Happy Endings used well, even if it didn’t fully embrace it until the final season, when it delved into Jane’s increasingly slapstick job with the Car Czar. When dealing with the messiness of Brad or Alex’s tomfoolery, Coupe’s Jane Kerkovich-Williams was the only one keeping everything together, yet when she was unable to live up to her own standards of perfection, she fell apart before you could squeak out a trademark Kerkovich “What?”
