Bryce Dallas Howard is reflecting on her not-so-nice collaboration with a contentious filmmaker.

The Jurassic World star detailed her nasty exchange with polarizing Danish director Lars von Trier on the 2005 drama Manderlay in a new interview with British outlet The Times. 

Howard said that as soon as she arrived in Norway to begin filming the project, the director began talking smack about her dad, Ron Howard, to try to get under her skin. “He started insulting me: ‘Your father’s a terrible filmmaker,'” she recalled von Trier saying. “I went, ‘Lars, what are you trying to see?’ and he said, ‘Your angry face. I don’t know what it looks like.'”

Howard claimed that von Trier then splashed a glass of water in her face after trying to piss her off with his rude remarks. “So I threw a glass of water in his face,” she said. “He goes, ‘Why did you do that?’ and got up and left.”

Representatives for von Trier did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly‘s request for comment.

Howard added that despite the presumed aggression of the interaction, she was somewhat amused by it. “That was my introduction to the Lars von Trier experience, but it wasn’t like I went to my room and cried or anything,” she said. “I was sort of delighted by it.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Howard explained how her connection with her acclaimed father has impacted her ability to find acting work. “I happen to be in a situation where there are multiple layers of privilege,” she admitted, noting that Ron Howard’s parents, Rance and Jean Speegle Howard, were also actors. “So I got to have access in a way that, even if you were born into it, most people wouldn’t.”

The actress-director reiterated that her family has been a boon for her Hollywood trajectory. “At the beginning of my career people would ask — and I was always so shocked by this — ‘Do you feel it’s been a disadvantage?'” she recalled.’ “And I was like, ‘Disadvantage?’ When you’re an actor, you need to capture a casting director or director’s attention, but when you’re someone who’s related to someone else, there’s an inherent curiosity there.”

Howard also shared her reaction to watching her dad return to acting on Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s Apple TV+ comedy, The Studio, in which the child-star-turned-director played a grumpier version of himself. “I was nervous for him. They shoot everything as a one-er [one-shot take] and you can’t really fumble-bumble anything, but he was so dialed in,” she said. “It was really fun being behind the monitor and hearing Evan and Seth get so excited. It just made me really proud of him.”

One, two, three, and to the four, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Craig Brewer is at the door.

Universal Pictures has enlisted the Hustle & Flow filmmaker to direct a biopic about Snoop Dogg, the pioneering West Coast rapper, Entertainment Weekly has confirmed. Brewer will revise a screenplay penned by Joe Robert Cole, the writer known for his work on Black Panther and The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

Snoop, who previously acted in a supporting role in Brewer’s Dolemite Is My Name, will produce the film alongside Brian Grazer and Sara Ramaker. Snoop was previously depicted in another Universal hip-hop biopic: the 2015 hit Straight Outta Compton, which followed the rise of N.W.A and featured LaKeith Stanfield as the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” musician.

Menace II Society co-director Allen Hughes was previously attached to direct the Snoop biopic.

After making his feature directorial debut with 2000’s The Poor & Hungry, Brewer rose to prominence with his sophomore feature, 2005’s Hustle & Flow. The film, which followed an aspiring rapper, won the Oscar for Best Original Song (for Frayser Boy, Juicy J, and DJ Paul’s track “It’s Hard out Here for a Pimp”), and also landed a Best Actor nomination for star Terrence Howard.

Brewer then helmed 2006’s Black Snake Moan, a black comedy starring Samuel L. Jackson, Christina Ricci, and Justin Timberlake. The film continued the director’s emphasis on music, as Jackson’s character in the film was a blues guitarist.

Brewer’s next feature was 2011’s Footloose, a remake of the 1984 classic about an outsider introducing dance to a conservative small town. 

The filmmaker spent much of the 2010s focusing on the small screen, most notably reuniting with Howard on the popular hip-hop Fox series Empire, on which he served as a director and producer on numerous episodes.

Brewer helmed his first biopic with 2019’s Dolemite Is My Name, which starred Eddie Murphy as blaxploitation legend Rudy Ray Moore. Brewer reteamed with Murphy on Coming 2 America, a long-in-the-works sequel to the classic 1988 comedy Coming to America.

The filmmaker’s latest feature, Song Sung Blue, stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as musicians in a Neil Diamond tribute band. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on Christmas day.

A 16-time Grammy nominee, Snoop Dogg rose to fame upon collaborating with Dr. Dre on the producer’s 1992 solo album, The Chronic, and his own 1993 debut album, Doggystyle. He has released 21 studio albums to date, and has also acted in a number of movies, including Training Day and The Beach Bum.
