Pucker Up, Ryan Phillippe

.
The Berlin Film Festival is apparently going to screen the long-desired director's cut of 54, that prime Ryan Phillippe beefcake experience, in February! There's not much news beyond that - the director screened a cut in LA a few years ago, and a shoddy-quality clip of an edited-out kiss between Ryan and Breckin Meyer surfaced last year (the clip seems to be taken down but I did make a gif that's at that link), but we don't know if this is the same cut or what'll be included. The film was famously butchered by its gay-panicked studio, with all of Ryan's character's bisexuality scraped off the flick with no concern for every living human being that wanted that imprinted upon their eyeballs properly; if its getting a big festival play like this maybe there really is hope for an actual release!
