Ryan Phillippe Comes Out Again — Uncut
Ryan Phillippe Comes Out Again — Uncut
Quote:
In 1998, the 23-year-old Ryan Phillippe starred in the film 54, set in New York’s infamous nightclub Studio 54 — the 1970s epicenter of sex, drugs, celebrities, and disco. He plays Shane, a simple but hot kid who “works” his way up from shirtless busboy to drug-dealing hustler under the guidance of lecherous gay club owner Steve Rubell (Mike Myers).
If you saw the film and found it disappointingly bland, you’re not alone. It was.
Spooked by negative reactions to test screenings, Disney-owned Miramax cut 36 minutes of the film’s bisexual content and demanded that director Mark Christopher and company shoot an additional 25 minutes, including a dull straight love story between Shane and an actress (Neve Campbell) and a happy ending.
