The superhero film, which saw Johnson play Cassandra Webb – a paramedic with precognitive powers – was a critical and box office failure. It was criticised for its weak screenplay, underwhelming performances and messy execution. It even bagged the Razzie for Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay.
's kind voice note
But in the middle of all this chaos, Johnson received a sweet and unexpected message from none other than Sandra Bullock. While speaking on
's Good Hang podcast, Dakota shared how Sandra reached out to her after the Razzie announcement.
'There's a lot of good people who have won that,' Dakota said, adding that Sandra Bullock left her a voice note saying, 'I heard you are in the Razzie club. We should have brunch, a monthly Razzie brunch.'
Sandra Bullock had once famously won both an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year back in 2010, which made her message all the more meaningful and comforting.
Dakota's reaction: 'I was freaking out'
The supportive voice note left a strong impression on Johnson.
She couldn't hide her excitement, calling Sandra Bullock 'so iconic' and confessing that she was 'freaking out' after hearing from her.
The message may have been light-hearted, but it carried a deeper meaning. It reminded Dakota that even the most talented actors face setbacks, and that true support in Hollywood can come in the most unexpected ways – like a voice note encouraging a monthly Razzie brunch.
'Madame Web': A misfire for Sony
The film 'Madame Web', released as part of Sony's Spider-Verse, turned out to be a big disappointment.

However, Dakota made it clear that the film's creative direction wasn't in her hands.
In a previous interview with the Los Angeles Times, she bluntly said, 'It's not my fault,' distancing herself from the film's flaws.
Audiences also had mixed reactions. Our official ETimes rating for the film stood at 2.5 stars out of 5. The review read:
'The whole attempt to infuse some family feel into the story with Cassie's colleague O'Neil (Mike Epps) and his pregnant sister-in-law Mary Parker (Emma Roberts) is so half-hearted. In conclusion, 'Madame Web' falls short of making a significant impact within the superhero genre, serving more as a tepid introduction than a compelling addition to an already saturated universe.'
Despite the criticism, Dakota Johnson's honest response, and Sandra Bullock's supportive gesture, made for a heart-warming moment that many fans appreciated.

Their contrasting styles and awkward gestures point to deeper tensions and a growing lack of synchronicity. Is Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon's relationship on the rocks? The pair, who have been dating since 2022, looked effortlessly stylish at Pitt's new movie F1's New York City premiere. They smiled for the cameras, held hands, and posed as a couple in love, but not everyone is convinced. With whispers of tension and awkward gestures on the red carpet, speculation about their relationship grows. Judi James, a body language expert, contrasted their appearance with that of George and Amal Clooney, describing their fashion sense as having a "George and Amal-looking vibe." According to the body language expert, Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon's relationship is reportedly in trouble, with the couple "floundering" and displaying deeper issues. Live Events ALSO READ: Jennifer Garner may soon join Hollywood's billionaire club — here's how she's doing it According to James, both men exhibit signs of a more reserved demeanor when their women are present, as if their intelligence is what keeps them in awe and reverence, as per a report by Radar Online. ALSO READ: Iran earthquake: A 5.1 magnitude earthquake hits Semnan, Iran, amid rising tensions with Israel Brad Pitt's significant age difference also appears to have caused some wardrobe stumbling, which may be a reflection of his emotional style. It may be better for his relationship if he finally bottoms out, finds his true place, and relaxes into it with someone who values it. His recent outings have included some questionable fashion choices that imply he may be struggling with the age gap and eager to look current and edgy. Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon were spotted holding hands on the red carpet at the "F1" premiere in New York City. They posed for a few romantic pictures and grinned for the cameras. Reports indicated that their relationship might be having problems, even though they had PDA-filled moments. What do their styles say about their connection? The Oscar winner wore a buttoned white shirt and a double-padded navy blue suit to the premiere. In contrast, his girlfriend looked stunning wearing a long skirt, a black belt, and a halter-neck top with a flowing sheer finish. The pair's "lack of synchronicity" suggests that their thought and taste processes are very different. Their strikingly different ways of thinking are demonstrated by the stark contrast in their red carpet facial expressions. Brad's posture and gestures appear unusually awkward, as if he's trying to look gauche rather than like a Hollywood hard-hitter. His eyebrows are steepled, giving him a rather subdued and apologetic look, as per a report by Reality Tea. FAQs Are Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon breaking up? Although body language suggests tension, there has been no official confirmation. Why are experts concerned? Their opposing styles and awkward gestures have sparked speculation about more serious issues.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The 28 Years Later director reflected on the Oscar-winning film that starred and . "Yeah, we wouldn't be able to make that now," he said of the film. "And that's how it should be. It's time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we've left on the world," as per the outlet. When asked whether the production itself amounted to a form of colonialism, the director denied that but added, "Well, only in the sense that everything is. At the time it felt radical. We made the decision that only a handful of us would go to Mumbai. We'd work with a big Indian crew and try to make a film within the culture. But you're still an outsider. It's still a flawed method. That kind of cultural appropriation might be sanctioned at certain times. But at other times it cannot be." Boyle shared thae he is "proud of the film" but noted, "You wouldn't even contemplate doing something like that today. It wouldn't even get financed. Even if I was involved, I'd be looking for a young Indian film-maker to shoot it," according to The Hollywood Reporter. At the time, 'Slumdog Millionaire' was a box office hit and went on to earn 10 Oscar nominations and win eight Academy Awards at the 2009 ceremony. Boyle won for best director. On Friday, Boyle returns to theaters with 28 Years Later, a sequel that arrives more than twenty years after he and writer revitalized the zombie genre with 28 Days Later, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
