“When it comes to Dakota, she came in later. I had picked another actress that unfortunately had to drop out last minute, due to another movie production. I’ve seen many young actresses, even more famous than her, then someone told me to check out the female lead of Fifty Shades of Grey – at the time, the movie wasn’t out yet. She has such a great acting ability, one of those perfect faces for this industry, that you can’t really frame at first. She also has a deep, wise conscience.”

“I’ll start shooting the remake of Suspiria, a real horror classic by Dario Argento, this August. It’ll be set in Berlin ‘77, to be released in 2017. Dakota Johnson and Tilda Swinton will definitely be in it.”
