Ryan Phillippe told the Los Angeles Times Monday (October 20) that a film he did with 50 Cent was one of the worst experiences he’s had in the movie industry.
“I did this terrible movie with 50 Cent,” Phillippe says. “It was just a situation I didn’t want to be in. I was sold a bill of goods and it turned out to be something different, which is often the case in this business.”
The 2011 film was called Setup and also featured Bruce Willis and Jenna Dewan Tatum. The plotline was about a diamond heist gone wrong. Rotten Tomatoes user reviews gave it a 17% rating. 50’s Cheetah Vision Films produced Setup.
In 2010, Cheetah Vision signed a deal reportedly worth $200 million for 10 movies that included Setup.
The Times article says that this experience inspired Phillippe for his latest project, Catch Hell, a film that he directed, starred in and co-wrote. He plays an actor who tries to revive his career with a sketchy independent film.
The Setup movie poster is as follows:

Why is Bruce Willis doing straight to Netflix movies?
in all actuality I think the studios would do better if all movies were released straight to netflix/on demand. People are more likely going there to see a film than the theater. any movie with Curtis is gonna be asscrack though. He’s no Cube
^^ lmao fuck you mean “he’s no Cube”? both these niggas can’t act for shit
only rappers that take this acting shit seriously are will smith queen latifah and mos def
Willis has been in 2-5 movies with 50 as far as I know
Yeah, that movie was bad.

Cheezy Vision Films, I dont blame 50 I blame the white guy that runs his company for doing cheap movies with bad scripts thinking that 50 fans are stupid enough to support anything with his name attached to it like its 2003.
What would you expect Ryan? This is Curtis Jackson not Denzel Washington, you took the money to do a shitty movie with a horrible actor and now you want to act like you were unaware how cheesy and corny the movie was.
According to Wikipedia all the movies flopped and lost money, “Fire with Fire” had a $20 million budget and only grossed $2 millio. “Freelancers” has been labeled the worst movie of Robert Dineros career.
sounds like a gay porn movie
hahaha i havent heard that gay ass frenchie phillippe in years does he still act
Friends For Life
Enemies Forever
HAHAHAHAH thats so corny but you cant blame Fif he was just trying to cash in on anything he could
lmao Who thinks this shit up?
stfu and take the paycheck. obviously you didnt care about artistic integrity when you signed up for the project
Yeah, he knew what he was getting into. Fact is he can’t land A list scripts. If this is the best he can get, then accept it and be glad somebody paid him a million dollars to slum with Bruce Willis.
That’s what I was thinking this dude hasn’t had a movie in years, he should be glad he’s standing next to 50 and Bruce.
Lincoln Lawyer & Reclaim
not that bad actually
It looks like a cardboard cutout of Bruce Willis. Don’t look at the camera Bruce!
Well every studio produce one or two bad movies….
Empire State – with The Rock was a good movie
Escape Plan did over 100 Million world wide and was good
escape plan wasnt produced by 50 he was just acting
I didn’t hear Bruce Willis complaining. These n*ggas be acting like they didn’t need that check when the opportunity came. I can give him a sh*tty role today and for the right price he is gonna take it. Stop It Ryan.
He’s just mad because his ex-wifey has been making that dough since they divorced and he’s steady takin L’s
that’s it..right on the money. ryan is whining….
ice cube is tha man, 50 is washed up, he should try porn

He may had a bad experience but the movie wasn’t that bad, the movie fiddy did with Val Kilmer was.
I wonder if he said the same thing when he got the check! Anyway the movie was straight nothing wrong with it. I look at it like this a whiteman taking a shot at a blackman thats all it is nothing more nothing less.
To be fair he didn’t say the film was terrible because of Fiddy, he just said it was a terrible movie, which it is.
Isn’t this guy a big rap fan? He was properly mad excited to do a movie with Fif.
Not one person commenting here even knows what a good movie is. You people flock to the theaters for Think Like a Man Too and other crap. Go see Birdman, Dear White People, Snow Piercer, Children of Men, Y Tu Mama Tambien, The Counterfeiters, There Will Be Blood, anything by Kubrick, and then get back to me. Also Ryan Phillipe has been replaced by Justin Timberlake. His career is over and being in a movie with 50 Cent sealed the deal.
G unit ran a train on my ass
50 cent keeps falling while ja rule is crawling back up with new music and his reality pay backs a bitch and ever since ja dropped New York 50 ran into his probs in music. Think about it game left the unit , dropped that hit dissing 50 one last time. Jada buried, 50, Nas did, and joe. Music career was never the same after New York just saying.
