Dakota Johnson recently revealed that she inked her costar, Olivia Colman, after a dance party with the cast. Maybe it was me being completely seduced by this gorgeous person and wanting her to think I was cool. Or maybe it was my midlife crisis,’ Colman joked.
The Lost Daughter won four awards at the Gotham Awards on Monday. However, The Lost Daughter may be a film to keep an eye out for during awards season, along with two of its gorgeous co-stars, Dakota Johnson and Olivia Colman. Johnson, 32, and her Oscar-winning co-star Colman, 47, star in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut, which is getting rave reviews.
Meanwhile, The Lost Daughter cast and crew have become inseparable during their film festival winding journey, with the actors, including writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s husband Peter Sarsgaard, would frequently have ‘dance parties.’ Dakota also revealed that after an October screening of The Lost Daughter at Altro Paradiso in the Soho area of New York, Gyllenhaal shared her playlist with the DJ. “It was a lot of Talking Heads, the Cranberries.”
Johnson added of the overall mood after a worldwide pandemic, “The thing is, people are not behaving normally. If you go to a party, you f***ing rage.” Johnson stated that the ‘dance party’ tradition began with The Lost Daughter’s North American premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, just days after its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
The actress went on saying that Netflix offered to pay for a cast dinner party, but writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal had another idea. “Maggie was like, Instead of having a dinner, let’s have a dance party,” recalled Johnson, with the tradition continuing to stick. The cast and crew even invited stars and filmmakers from other festival movies, such as Kirsten Dunst and Benedict Cumberbatch, along with Johnson’s Fifty Shades of Grey co-star Jamie Dornan.
The Lost Daughter is an adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s novel, following a woman played by Colman on vacation whose life takes a dark turn. The cast also includes Jessie Buckley, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Ed Harris, Dagmara Dominczyk, and Abe Cohen. The film will debut with a limited theatrical release on December 17, ahead of its wide release on the Netflix streaming service on December 31.
