The Time’s Up Story She Won’t Tell

[Blind Gossip] You might have noticed that this franchise film actress made a bold statement about the Time’s Up movement… but hasn’t actually told a personal story about why she is involved.

We’ll tell you one.

A few years ago, she took a role in a movie that had a principal cast of several well-known male actors. She did not enjoy making that movie. She filmed a couple of her scenes one week, but the next week simply walked off the set. A male crew member shared the following story with us.

The guys were rude the whole time. The last straw for was when we were filming a scene from the end of the movie where [describes scene]. It was a two day shoot. Some of the guys had been drinking and smoking weed beforehand and were acting obnoxious. She was clearly uncomfortable filming with them. Then [one of the actors] started “improvising” and gyrating in front of her with his junk barely covered. She just said, “I’m done,” and walked off the set and all the way down the street.

Everybody was like, “What the fuck? Where is she going?” Her publicist and the director tried to talk her into coming back and completing the scene, but she refused. We wrapped five minutes later when it was clear that she wasn’t coming back.

The next day, when we came back to finish the scene, we found out that she quit, and that we would have to reshoot it without her. All the guys were making jokes about her. The ground was wet, and [Actor] said, “Oh, look! We’re all stepping in [Actress’] tears!”

They try to make it out like she was some uptight bitch, but they’re the ones who made the set into an Animal House where it was acceptable to show up drunk or stoned and to say sexual things or act raunchy in front of female cast and crew.  You might think it would be fun to work in that kind of environment, but as a [crew position] who has worked on dozens of movies, I can tell you that it was one of the most unprofessional sets I’ve ever been on. It’s a workplace, FFS, not a fraternity party. I don’t blame her for quitting.

The first few scenes our Actress filmed are in the movie, and she is a true professional, so we doubt she will ever tell this story herself. However, we think that this experience might explain her involvement in the Time’s Up movement… as well as the reason that she has avoided working with the principal actors from that film again!

  1. This is the End
    Emma Watson
    James Franco, Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride

    • This. Individual I’m sure most of them are nice people (not Franco!), but put them together and they’re like awful laddish teenagers. I don’t blame her for walking out one bit!

  6. This has to be an Apatow stinker of a movie and probably involves Franco and Rogen.

    • I agree. What I find puzzling is that he has daughters in their late teens and early 20s. Why he would allow the behavior at all is uncool, especially if he would deck anyone who did that to his daughter, as most dads would want to do. So does this mean there’s hypocrisy in Hollywood? Shocking!

  7. Movie: This is the End

    Actress: Emma Watson

    Actors:
    James Franco

    Craig Robinson
    Michael Cera

  9. Absolutely Emma Watson. She walked off the set of This is The End.

    If I was in her position, I would have probably stuck it out because I’m an accommodating person. I wouldn’t have the guts to walk away. But Emma Watson is a huge star- quoting that movie would never hurt her career in the long run. Hermione Granger gets what she wants.

  11. Emma Watson with her temporary tattoo. She was in This Is the End with Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, etc. Katherine Heigl came off looking bad after her statements on filming Knocked Up so Emma probably just kept her mouth shut. I could totally see those buffoons acting like a film set is a frat house when they’re all together and then people who are being professional are treated like wet blankets. Time’s Up for these guys for sure.

  13. This is the End
    Emma Watson
    Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride

    I heard how stupid and crazy they acted and tried to put the blame on her.
    She did the same thing I would’ve done.
    It’s a f*ing work, be professional. You can be stupid after you’re finished shooting.
    That bunch of guys acted horribly and created stupidiest movie ever.
    Now that Franco is under all that pressure they’d think twice before acting the same sexist way. Bunch of morons!

  14. I feel like this could be Emma Watson in the movie ‘This Is The End’ but she only had a cameo role so I’m unsure. The actors would be Seth rogen and his fellow crew (Franco, Jonah Hill etc)

  17. Movie: This is the End
    Actress: Emma Watson
    Actors: James Franco, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson are the main six in the movie

  18. I’m guessing Emma Watson. The film “This Is The End” with Franco, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, Seth Rogen, Craig Robinson, Jay Baruchel and Michael Cera. I always wondered what happened to her character after her last appearance. The bold statement would be the temporary tattoo she wore to the Oscars. She is in the Harry Potter Franchise. I can see that group of actors behaving that way, they’re also known for improvising. I can see it happening at the end when they find Danny and…

  19. Emma Watson in This is the end ?

    This Is The End

    James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson.

  26. franchise actress – emma watson

    movie – this is the end (james franco, jonah hill, seth rogen, etc.)

    even without this experience it doesn’t surprise me she’d speak out for Time’s Up, she’s been outspoken on feminist issues before

  28. Film: Beautiful Girls

    Actress: Uma Thurman

    Actors: Matt Dillon, Michael Rapaport, Timothy Hutton, to name a few.

  29. Natalie Portman did a cameo in Avengers, so any of those guys might be the junk shakers.

  31. Emma Watson filming This is the End …

    She did the right thing.

  46. Emma watson in This Is the End

    Did she not realize that seth rogen movies are largely improvised and that they were filming raunchy party scenes? Rihanna was in that movie too and i bet she woulda just punched the actor in the face and moved on with her life. Not saying the guys were right just that i’m sick of this “wahhh im a victim” nonsense from multi-millionaire cry baby celebrities. But at least she quit and isn’t just retroactively complaining

    • Rihanna’s actually the type to allow herself to get punched in the face…so that hardly makes her a “cool girl.” Don’t harass women for your own entertainment, it’s so simple.

  47. I’m going to guess Emma Watson, This Is The End, James Franco, Seth Rogen.
    Haven’t seen it but the clues fit.

  48. Heard a diff version of this yrs ago & hate to say it, but they did a great job making sound like it was all her. Breaks my heart to know the truth now since I was younger , I greatly disliked her ( then grew not to care, became huge fan last year) & liked the fact she was being unprofessional. Now, I just feel sick but also proud of her for sticking up for herself & sticking to her guns.
    Movie: This is the end
    Actress: Emma Watson
    Actors: James Franco, Channing Tatum, Seth Rogan, Jonah…

    • I came here just to say that. I read that blind, thought she was an uptight bitter bitch. As soon as those Franco accusations came out I immediately thought about this. The rumors were carefully put out to made it seem like she was just a no humor high maintenance idiot. I regret and feel deeply ashamed for defending those guys and I hope (even if they say it’s not professional) she outs them and shames them. Good for her for walking out and quitting, she does not have to put up with such…

  52. This Is The End, with Emma Watson being the actress and James Franco, Seth Roger, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, etc being the guys.

  53. I’m going to guess Natalie Portman for the actress, and d-bag actors like Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, James Franco and co for the actors. My other thought was Katherine Heigl for the actress, but i can’t think of a franchise she’s been in.

    I don’t know what I would have done. Sounds like she handles it professionally, but I would have been tempted to tell people.

  55. This Is The End
    Emma Watson
    James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride.

  56. Actress:Emma Watson in the ‘movie’ This is the end?
    Actors : James Franco , Jonah Hill , Seth Rogen , Danny Mcbride , & Michael Cera

  57. Emma Watson, This Is the End with all of those a**h****, Franco and Seth Rogen and the usual creeps.

  59. This is the End

    Emma Watson

    Channing Tatum was the main culprit

    I don’t know if I would have had her courage. I hope I would but I think I would have been polite and just grinned and beared it. But…not anymore!

  60. Movie: This Is The End
    Actress: Emma Watson (Harry Potter franchise)
    Actors: James Franco, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, etc.

    I wish I could say I would have done the same, but I’m not as brave as her. Kudos to her.

  61. Emma Watson, This is the End.

    Honestly, I’m not sure. If the expectation is that the actors improvise and the script calls for nasty, inappropriate behavior, isn’t she supposed to act her way through it? If it was off camera it is a totally different deal. i’m not an actor and could be totally wrong.

  62. Movie: Your Highness

    Actress: Natalie Portman

    Actors: Danny McBride, James Franco

  64. Movie: This is the End
    Actress: Emma Watson
    Actors: James Franco and a slew of others too many to name.

  65. Has to be James Franco and gang on that movie with Natalie Portman…
    Your Highness?

  67. Emma Watson

    Movie: This Is The End

    Actors:
    Seth Rogan
    James Franco
    Jonah Hill
    Danny McBride
    Jay Baruchel

  68. I can’t remember if this movie has a street scene, but –

    Movie: This is the End (2013)

    Actress: Emma Watson

    Actors: Seth Rogan, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Christopher Mintz-Plasse (that whole crew)

    Optional: I would have done the same thing she did.

  69. This Is The End, Emma Watson, James Franco, Seth Roger, Danny McBride, Channing Tatum. I would have done the same exact thing – walk off and not return. Bunch of d-bags.

  70. Movie: This is the end

    Actress: Emma Watson

    Actors: James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill

  72. This is the end

    Emma Watson

    Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, James Franco, Craig Robinson, Jay Burrucel

    First time poster. Always felt weird seeing Emma (and Riri!) in that movie.

  73. Don’t know the movie or actress but I have a feeling this is a James Franco/Seth Rogen movie.

  75. Movie: This is the End
    Actress: Emma Watson
    Actors: Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, James Franco

  78. I hate to say it but…
    Movie: This Is The End
    Actress: Emma Watson (And her Time’s Up Tattoo on the red carpet)
    Actors: Not sure who was being a fuckface, but Micheal Cera had the pantsless scene where he was getting blown. It’s not hard to think of James Franco joining in given what we know, and given how many celebrities were actually in the movie.
    The movie itself fits the animal house vibe, especially before the apocalypse hits.

  80. Ocean’s Twelve
    Catherine Zeta-Jones
    Clooney, Pitt, Damon, Affleck
    IMO she did the right thing, good for her

  81. This Is The End
    Emma Watson
    Franco, Rogen, Hill … I can just imagine it, gross. Some dudes just never grow up.

  82. Emma Stone in “Gangster Squad”? I seem to recall a previous blind indicating how much she hated making that film.

  83. Sounds like Scarjo and the Franco sleazebag, but I’m not sure what movie that would be.

  84. This is the End
    Emma Watson
    James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, and the rest of that gang.

  85. This is the end

    Emma Watson

    James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson

  87. This sounds like Emma Watson in This Is The End
    Actors are: James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, etc.
    I don’t blame her for leaving

  88. Movie: This Is The End
    Actress: Emma Watson
    Actors: James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel

  89. Movie: This is The End

    Actress: Emma Watson. She got a Time’s Up tattoo. She was barely in the film at all

    Actors: James Franco, Seth Rogen

    I would have done the same.

  92. Emma Watson

    Movie: This is the End

    All the f* f* that worked in that James Franco movie. Birds of a feather flock together. She is a classy woman, good for her for quitting. James Franco and his patchy AF beard need to be dealt with

  93. This is the End

    Emma Watson

    James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogan, Danny McBride, Jay Burcell

  95. Movie: This is the End

    Actress: Emma Watson

    Actors: Huge male cast… guessing James Franco, Seth Rogen as prime offenders

  98. Someone who worked with creep james Franco and his posse. Not sure who. Heard a similar rumor about Katherine Heigl in the past but not sure she has done any franchise or spoken out about time’s up.

  99. I don’t know why but I’m feeling Emma Watson on this one.

    Movie would be “This is the End,” with James Franci and Seth Rogen…

  100. This Is The End

    Emma Watson

    Seth Rogan, James Franco, Jonah Hill, etc.

    Not sure what I would have done but it’s classy that all she did was walk off.
