Key Points
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) Dakota Johnson knew two-time Academy Winner Sean Penn was exactly who she wanted to star in the film Daddio as the male lead, but at first, she was not sure how to make it happen...
The first and only person that I was like, Oh hed be really perfect, was Sean and we kind of thought he would never do it because its such a small movie with a first-time filmmaker and newer producers, she said...
However, living close to Penn and occasionally hanging out gave her the chance to ask him if he would read the script for Daddio...
In the film, she plays a young woman who takes a cab driven by a man named Clark, played by Penn, who calls her Girlie..
The majority of the film involves Clark and Girlie talking about their lives and experiences while in the cab.. Penn believes the film defies the razzle dazzle that people are often told they must look for in a film...
