I signed up to do a very different version of the movie that we ended up doing. EL James had a lot of creative control, all day every day, she just required certain things to happen. There were parts of the books that just wouldnât work in a movie, like the inner monologue, which was incredibly cheesy at times. It wouldnât work to say it out loud. It has always been a battle.

Johnson said to do the trilogy âFifty Shadesâ âbecame something crazy,â adding: âThere were many different disagreements. Iâve never been able to talk about it honestly because you want to promote a movie the right way and Iâm proud of what we did in the end and everything turns out the way it was supposed to, but it was complicated.
