Bryce Dallas Howard gets brutally honest about her most notorious move flops: ‘You always know'
Hollywood star Bryce Dallas Howard has opened up about some of her most notorious box office flops. Despite starring in the likes of Twilight and Jurrasic Park, Howard has also starred in projects that became some of their respective years' biggest bombs. She starred in Lady in the Water from director M. Night Shyamalan, which failed to recoup its $154m budget, as well as notorious flop Argylle, which cost over $300m to make but didn't manage to even hit $150m at the box office. 'You can always see it coming while you're making it,' Howard recently told The Independent about her movie flops. 'I've never been shocked when something doesn't work. But I'm just an actor – you're there to serve a director's vision. If a movie doesn't turn out the way that you envisioned, you can barely feel disappointed because it's not yours. You're not the person who's building the thing.' Howard said in comparison, she has seen her father, the Oscar-winning filmmaker Ron Howard, break down emotionally when one of his films doesn't do well. 'It blows him away that I don't do that,' she said. She went on to recall a story her father told her about Clint Eastwood back in the day. When her dad's 1992 film Far and Away with Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise flopped spectacularly at the box office, he turned to Eastwood for some sage advice. 'He said, 'Ronnie – a career is like a season of television. You've got 24 episodes, some of the episodes are going to be bad, some are going to be serviceable, maybe a little forgettable, and maybe five of those episodes are going to be really strong and last,'' Howard said. Argylle, from filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, starred the likes of Henry Cavill and Dua Lipa, but their combined starpower failed to help make the film a hit. In an interview with Empire last year, Vaughn confessed that he genuinely believed the movie was going to be a big success after test screenings ended positively. 'F**k yeah,' Vaughn said when asked if the disappointing reviews from critics were a difficult read for him. 'We had done test screenings that had gone fantastically well. The premiere was a really fun night, and it was like going back to the 'Snatch' days where there was such excitement. And I started drinking the Kool-Aid. It's a fun, feel-good movie, or I thought it was a fun, feel-good movie. We didn't make 'Citizen Kane,' but f**king hell, then the reviews came out and I'm like, 'Wait, what have I done to offend these people?' They were vitriolic. I'm not saying the movie's perfect by any means, but I didn't think it was offensive. That took me by surprise.'

'Brace yourselves': Mariah Carey's Type Dangerous video includes 'earth shattering surprise'
Mariah Carey's Type Dangerous music video features an "earth shattering surprise". The director of the eagerly anticipated promo, Joseph Kahn, has told fans of Mimi to "cancel your booty calls Friday night" to make a date with the music video, as he teased something major is about to go down. He posted to X: "Everyone knows when they give me a deadline on a music video, I use every second to refine it til it delivers. Cancel your booty calls Friday night, you're going to busy watching Type Dangerous." Kahn added: "There will be an earth shattering surprise in the @MariahCarey Type Dangerous video. I'm not kidding. Brace yourself lol ... Unguessable, FYI. You'll just have to watch the video." Type Dangerous, released last week, marked Mariah's first solo music in six years. After teasing fans about her 16th studio album with a glamourous sports car teaser on social media, fans were given the first taste of what's to come. Type Dangerous samples legendary hip-hop duo Eric B. and Rakim's 1986 cut Eric B. Is President. In a statement, Mariah said of her return: 'I've been locked up in the studio for quite some time working my behind off on new music, and I'm thrilled for the unveiling of it to my fans, starting with Type Dangerous!' Mariah's new album will be her first since 2018's 'Caution'. The new song came after Anderson .Paak recently revealed he'd been working on new music with Mariah. The 39-year-old singer-and-producer let the news slip while appearing on social media series Track Star - where guests try to identify mystery songs - and he correctly guessed the 56-year-old star's 1996 track Always Be My Baby. Anderson - who was wearing a T-shirt with Mariah's face - said: "This would be Mariah Carey. The Mariah Carey. "I remember in like 5th grade, or something, watching the music videos and having a huge crush. We're working on some music on her new album.'
