Ryan Phillippe on Choosing “Crash” Rather than a Big Budget Movie: “This is the kind of movie I want to make. This is the kind of movie I think most actors want to be a part of. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of these out there. With the diversity of the cast, of the characters within this movie that touches on the important social issues.
You know, social issue movies don’t make a lot of money. It’s not like the sequel to whatever film was successful last year. It’s like this is what… If you have any potential or power to help get a movie made, this is the kind of movie I want to help get made. This means something to me.”
Will His Production Company Do Movies Like “Crash?” “Absolutely. I will for the length of my career be involved in movies like this.”
The Prospect of Doing a Film with His Wife, Reese Witherspoon: “Maybe someday eventually. I don't think that’s something that we look for. …I’m sure eventually it’s going to happen. It’s just we’re in… It’s important, I think, to make the distinction, to separate also that we have this whole life outside of the business and it doesn’t need to be necessarily joined within it.”
