Bryce Dallas Howard Says A Director Threw Water At Her
I'm sure you know Bryce Dallas Howard. You probably know that the Jurassic World star is also the daughter of award-winning director Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind, The Da Vinci Code). In an interview with The Sunday Times, Bryce explained an alleged exchange she had with Danish director Lars von Trier where he tried to use her father's job against her. Bryce starred in the 2005 drama Manderlay, a direct sequel to Dogville (2003). Bryce had replaced Nicole Kidman as Grace Margaret Mulligan from the first movie. She said the moment she arrived at the set for Manderlay in Norway, Lars allegedly spoke negatively of her dad in an attempt to upset her. "He started insulting me: 'Your father's a terrible film-maker,'" she remembered. "I went, 'Lars, what are you trying to see?' and he said, 'Your angry face. I don't know what it looks like.'" Bryce claimed that Lars then threw a glass of water in her face. "So I threw a glass of water in his face. He goes, 'Why did you do that?' and got up and left." She said she was actually unfazed and actually entertained by the interaction. "That was my introduction to the Lars von Trier experience, but it wasn't like I went to my room and cried or anything. I was sort of delighted by it." Lars is a director with a reputation for his erratic behavior and even faced several allegations several years back for his behavior on set. In 2017, Icelandic singer-songwriter Björk posted about her treatment by a Danish director. When the media connected the dots that Björk starred as Selma Ježková in Lars von Trier's 2000 musical psychological tragedy Dancer in the Dark, Lars came forward and denied the accusations. Björk posted another statement in the midst of #MeToo social movement, doubling down her claims while still remaining not to directly name the director. Björk wrote, "After each take the director ran up to me and wrapped his arms around me for a long time in front of all crew or alone and stroked me sometimes for minutes against my wishes," Björk wrote. "While filming in Sweden, he threatened to climb from his room's balcony over to mine in the middle of the night with a clear sexual intention, while his wife was in the room next door." In November 2017, the Guardian reported that Zentropa, the film studio co-founded by Lars and former CEO Peter Aalbæk Jensen, faced several allegations of "sexual harassment, degradation and bullying," per several Danish news publications. While Lars wasn't named in these allegations, Peter resigned from his CEO position as the accusations poured in. Read the entire interview with The Times here. We reached out to Lars's people for comment, and we'll let you know if we hear back.

At London's New Design Museum, Visitors Get Hands-On Access
A new museum opens in London this weekend that offers visitors a highly unusual experience among collections globally: the chance to request and view unique and priceless objects one-on-one. The museum in question is V&A East Storehouse, a tall, spacious warehouse that gives the public unprecedented access to over 250,000 artifacts not usually on display from the collection of West London's Victoria and Albert Museum, Britain's national museum for the applied arts. While most of the remarkable collection — which includes items as eclectic as medieval horse armor, musical instruments and an original Frankfurt Kitchen — is displayed in glass storage cases, members of the public will also be able to get up close and personal by requesting to view a specific object in one of the storehouse's dedicated viewing spaces. The result could prove to be one of the most accessible museum set-ups in the world.
