Whether you enjoy the wackiness or hail it as a dumpster fire, Madame Web has quite the rocky script. The road to writing and filming the latest Sony Pictures superhero wasn’t easy, and the star behind the project has revealed how much has changed.
In a recent interview with TheWrap, Dakota Johnson discusses the script and what happened to the final product, which was released this week.
“There were drastic changes,” Johnson told the outlet. “And I can’t even tell you what they were.”
“It added so many different camera set-ups, like triple the amount of work,” she adds. “And it was very complex, and there’s only like minor differences between each version of the same scene, so it was like puzzle pieces, and really paying attention to what moment we’re in, and what angle we’re in, and continuity and things like that.”
