TMZ reported that Lawrence and Russell were seen having a major blowout on the set in Boston, Massachusetts, on Tuesday. According to TMZ, the argument is believed to have started because the pair were not seeing eye to eye on a scene, and Russell began screaming and spewing profanity at Lawrence.
However, a representative for Fox 2000, the studio behind the movie, has revealed that although there was a screaming match on the set, it was all method acting. Apparently, the studio has claimed the famed director was just trying to get under Lawrence’s skin before filming a scene that required her to shout at someone.

But it appears Russell was not in a particularly good mood that day because TMZ alleges that when film producer Harvey Weinstein arrived on the set to see Lawrence, the director asked him to leave — and he only got as far as the makeup trailer.
The studio rep revealed to TMZ that Weinstein was previously told his presence on the set would be a distraction to the cast and crew during filming, but he had decided to show up anyway, unannounced.
