Confirmation of a blind item!
Lots of stars currently filming this weird movie. We’ll focus on two of them. She is a young – but very experienced – actress. He is at least ten years older than her, and is starring in several films this year. They are doing a scene together. He enters the scene wearing nothing but a thong that barely covers his private parts. It is not a bedroom scene. She stops filming, pulls her publicist aside, and talks about how uncomfortable she is with the way he is dressed and the fact that he has been drinking and smoking *Edited* and acting like an unprofessional jerk all day. Production shuts down for a while the two go for a little walk. The publicist manages to talk her down, they come back to the set, and production resumes. After filming for only a couple of minutes, she starts freaking out again. Why? Because, seeing how uncomfortable she was, he decided to push it even more. He began doing an obscene break dance right in front of her… starring him and his thrusting crotch. She walked off the set, vowing never to work with him again. (Blind Gossip)

Confirmation in Mila Kunis' August 2012 Interview report:
JAMES FRANCO: So a funny thing happened on this movie I'm doing down here in New Orleans that made me think of you. The movie is a comedy, but it's kind of an outrageous one, and this actress—I won't say who, but she had a smaller role in the film—walked off the movie in the middle of a scene.
MILA KUNIS: This is Seth [Rogen]'s movie that you're talking about?
FRANCO: Yeah. I'll admit that the scene we were doing was pretty crazy. There's not any nudity, but it is pretty outrageous. It's not as if the scene wasn't in the script, though. In any case, I didn't see any of this go down, but I guess she basically went up to the directors, Seth and Evan [Goldberg], and said, "I don't think I can do this." She, by the way, didn't have to do anything crazy in the scene. But what was going on around her was, I guess, too extreme for her. So Seth was like, "Well, what can we do to fix it?" And she said, "There's nothing you can do to fix it. It's just everything." And he said, "Well, let's just shoot it and I promise you can come to the editing room, and, if you don't like what we've cut together, then we will not put it in the movie." And she said, "No, that's still not good. I just can't do this. I can't be here." And he said, "Do you want to leave?" And she said, "Yeah, I've got to leave."
KUNIS: What?
FRANCO: Yeah, so she left. But what I'm really leading to is that my experience working with you has, in many ways, been the opposite of that.
KUNIS: I guess you could say that I have no shame. [laughs] I mean, if you think about all the stuff that you've made me do—just you alone, James . . .
FRANCO: We can get into that if you want.
KUNIS: We don't have to get into details, but that poor girl would never be able to do a short with you. She would never be able to have fake blood thrown at her, with blood-sucking vampires and dildos being thrown everywhere.
