Anyone who worked on this movie - Is this true???

So, I met a man today who said he worked on this film. He told me a lot of things that surprised me (I didn't know some of it was filmed up here at Girard College in Philly).

The most interesting thing he told me that I really questioned...

He told me James Franco literally beat the hell out of Tyrese Gibson while filming it. He didn't say it was playing around. He said that James Franco went off and beat the living hell out of Tyrese Gibson and that Gibson threw a fit over it. He said it was tense the entire shoot, but it came to a head and Franco just beat him up bad. He said the pads were on and it was during one of the boxing shoots.

I'd typically not believe the dude, but why bring up a film that is ... well ... not great and also, the other films he said he worked on all have the connections he said they had with his circle of work friends.

Actually believe the guy which is why I'm putting it up.

How much truth to this?

Tyrese Gibson said this in an interview, I don't know which one or where to find it, but I do remember him saying it. Took him a while to not be mad at James Franco anymore he said he was super furious he did not want to work with him any longer when it happened. So there is truth to it.

How did you guys get on the topic of Annapolis? From what I've heard people say and what I read no one really likes it. Ha

From what I have read they still don't get along even though Franco half a$$ed apologized.

More like Franco has throwing real punches in a scene and Tyresse got mad. Franco is known for doing that. He used to do that in Freaks and geeks, pushed Busy Phillips to the ground, throwed milk in someones face. Just a coward hiding his bias between scenes.
