Bryce Dallas Howard is desperate to work with her father, director Ron Howard, but he insists she isn't ready to be cast in his films.
The Spider-Man 3 star has gone so far as to lobby her dad for a part in his latest project - but he refused to even let her audition.
She says, "I called him up the other day with my agent. I was pleading for an audition for a role in his next movie and he flat out turned me down and said that I wasn't ready."
Howard was last seen on the big screen this summer when she took over the role of Victory in Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the movie went on to take over $689 million at the global box office.
And she teams up with Matt Damon next for the latest movie project from Clint Eastwood as they star in Hereafter.
The actress has also completed work on Live With It, which also stars Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon Levitt, and The Help with Emma Stone.
