During the premiere of the aforementioned movie, she was asked a few things about her following projects, one of which happens to be Materialists. Talking to Deadline, Dakota Johnson was asked how she felt working with Celine Song on the film. 

“Oh, God, that was really a magical, magical, magical time. Talk about not combative at all. We were of one mind. It was so beautiful, really, really beautiful,” the actress from Need for Speed stated to the outlet. 

She then went on to add that because of Song’s background as a playwright, she happens to be very great at sharing the space with the artists. 

"It almost felt like she was in the scenes with me," Dakota Johnson stated. Spilling the tea, the actress from Fifty Shades of Grey mentioned that during the movie's filming, Celine Song would be present right next to her in the shots; however, she was still out of the frame.
