Dakota Johnson Says Hollywood Is ‘F**king Bleak’ Right Now

"The people who run streaming platforms don’t trust creative people or artists to know what’s going to work," she said in a recent interview.
Dakota Johnson has offered a rough read on the film industry in a new interview.
Johnson said it’s been “majorly disheartening” to try and lead her own projects, telling L’Officiel in an interview published Tuesday how studios and streamers aren’t willing to take chances these days.
“I am discovering that it’s really fucking bleak in this industry,” she said, adding, “The people who run streaming platforms don’t trust creative people or artists to know what’s going to work, and that is just going to make us implode.”
“It’s really heartbreaking. It’s just fucking so hard. It’s so hard to get anything made,” she continued. “All of the stuff I’m interested in making is really different, and it’s unique and it’s very forward in whatever it is.”
Johnson officially branched out from acting to producing in 2019, when she co-founded TeaTime Pictures with Ro Donnelly, a former Netflix development executive.
