Dakota has been hard at work promoting her role as wealthy socialite Marge Sherwood in Steven Zaillian’s eight-episode remake of The Talented Mr. Ripley, which premieres April 4 on Netflix.
Fanning was joined on set by executive producer and star Andrew Scott, who plays the titular con-man.
‘My character Marge is one of the few or maybe the only that sort of doesn’t trust Tom from the beginning, and he’s kind of able to fool and manipulate everyone else but kind of not her,’ Fanning explained to GMA‘s Lara Spencer.
‘So she’s on to him from the start. So that was sort of fun to get into those scenes between us where it really looks like we hope the other one falls off the balcony. Somebody said yesterday “anti-chemistry,” which I thought was great. I love it. That’s exactly it.’
The role of Marge was originated by Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow in Anthony Minghella’s critically-acclaimed 1999 adaptation starring Matt Damon and Jude Law.
But this small-screen adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 crime novel features Johnny Flynn, Elliot Sumner, Maurizio Lombardi, Margherita Buy, and John Malkovich.
Ripley arrives five months after Emerald Fennell released her so-called ‘original’ film Saltburn – which borrowed much of the tone, character dynamics, and plot from The Talented Mr. Ripley.
The two-time SAG Award nominee and her younger sister – Emmy nominee Elle Fanning – co-founded Lewellen Pictures in 2021.

Fanning said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday: ‘We’ve been working on it for the last few years. Of course, we started as actors, and I think we both have this desire to develop our own projects and be really a part of things from the ground up. And, um, we’re super close, so I, uh, can’t – I would never do it with anyone else. It has to be her’

On February 28, Paramount Pictures boarded Bryan Bertino’s 2025 horror film Vicious, in which Fanning plays a woman who slips down a disturbing rabbit hole contained in a strange present she receives in the dead of night.
The Georgia-born blonde will play a young artist called Mina, who gets lost in an Irish forest in Warner Bros. Pictures’ big-screen adaptation of A.M. Shine’s 2022 novel The Watchers, which hits UK theaters June 7 and US theaters June 14.
The horror mystery marks the feature directorial debut of M. Night Shyamalan’s daughter Ishana Shyamalan.
Dakota will also portray Abby Winbury in Jenna Lamia’s six-episode mystery The Perfect Couple – premiering later this year on Netflix – alongside Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Sam Nivola, and Omar Epps.
