Ryan Phillippe Invades Times Square

Ryan Philippe looked his usual studly self yesterday filming his new movie “Untitled Kimberly Pierce Project” (the clapper board even reads U.K.P.P.). Ryan, 32, filmed scenes with newcomer Abbie Cornish, 24, in NYC’s Times Square. More pictures in the gallery!

Ryan supposedly plays soldier Brandon, who returns back home in Texas after fighting in Iraq and refuses to return to battle despite the government mandate requiring him to do so. But the filming in NYC doesn’t really match up with that storyline but who knows! A few details: Ryan’s character talks on a public payphone, browses through a postcard rack, and has a gash on his forehead. The “Untitled Kimberly Pierce Project” is set for a 2007 release.

Next week, Ryan will be hitting the talk show circuit to promote his film Flag of Our Fathers, which opens next Friday, Oct. 20. He’ll also be attending a screening of FOOF at the New Orleans WWII Museum. A big thanks to Lexy!!
