<p>Dakota Johnson has played a hippie, a witch, and a blind, clairvoyant mutant — now it's time for blood.</p>
<p>The American film star, 35, is currently enjoying some of the best reviews of her career for her performance in Celine Song's romantic dramedy Materialists and will soon appear in Michael Angelo Covino's Cannes-hyped physical comedy Splitsville. Comedy? Conquered. Drama? She's done it. Romance? Second nature at this point. What's next?</p>
<p>During a weekend appearance, Johnson said she's eager to play a "psychopath," Variety reported. She'd also "love to do an action film."</p>
<p>"I'm open to anything. Certain things [just have] to align," she told press while attending the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic, where she received the distinguished President's Award.</p>
<p>Johnson is the daughter of actors Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, both of whom played roles over the course of their varied careers that could be construed as in the psychopathic vein.</p>
<p>Griffith played notoriously unhinged characters in Brian De Palma's Body Double and Jonathan Demme's Something Wild, and Johnson played a vengeful menace in the 1993 thriller Guilty as Sin and a diabolical vigilante in Robert Rodriguez's Machete. Johnson's grandmother, Tippi Hedren, starred in two films by one of the most astute chroniclers of psychopathic behavior in American cinema: Alfred Hitchcock. Hedren headlined both The Birds in 1963 and Marnie in 1964.</p>

<p>Dakota has displayed remarkable versatility over the course of her career, but a true, out-and-out villain role has so far eluded her.</p>

<p>Ironically, Johnson's career began with the film Crazy in Alabama, which co-starred Griffith, but the closest the actress may have come to playing a psychopath is her role as Susie Bannion in Luca Guadagnino's remake of the horror classic Suspiria. In the film, Johnson's young dancer, freshly enrolled at the mysterious Markos Dance Academy in pre-reunification West Berlin, descends deeper into a web of conspiracy, witchcraft, and murder — and learns to love it.</p>
<p>Now a certified A-lister who is "in the position of being a producer and developing my own films," and can "choose all the people who are in it," Johnson's free to take her time selecting the perfect psychopath role. But first, viewers will get to see her in the second big-screen attempt to adapt a book by ultra-bestseller Colleen Hoover. The psychological thriller-romance hybridVerity will co-star Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett, is helmed by Search Party co-creator Michael Showalter, and is set to premiere next summer.</p>
