Untitled Dakota Johnson directorial debut

[BluBonnet]

Dakota Johnson is joining the ranks of actors-turned-directors.

Johnson revealed she is hoping to make her feature directorial debut with one of Burghardt’s scripts.

“In ‘Cha Cha Real Smooth,’ the girl that plays my daughter… she is an autistic actress and musician. We have been working with her on developing scripts. She has written a script. It’s really special. It’s about a young woman with autism, and I feel very protective of her and her story and her mind. She is just an unbelievable woman. So that’s kind of the thing i just don’t think i could allow anyone else to direct it. So we will see.”

Johnson later joked: “I want to direct and I need to grow the ****ing balls to do it…. actually no I don’t. I’m not going to grow balls and no one can make me.”
