Return to television and focus on directing and producing (2012–present)[edit]
Starting in November 2011, Phillippe spent several months filming a 10-episode arc on the fifth and final season of the critically acclaimed TV show Damages.[28][29][30] Playing Channing McClaren, a Julian Assange-like character,[31] it was his first regular TV role since his breakout part on One Life to Live.[32] The season aired from July to September 2012.[33][34][35]
In 2012, Phillippe focused on his directorial debut, Catch Hell, an upcoming indie thriller in which Phillippe will star as a fading film actor who must devise a creative escape after he is kidnapped and tortured while making a movie in Shreveport, Louisiana. In addition to directing, co-producing, and starring in the film, Phillippe also co-wrote the script with Joe Gossett.[36][37] Phillippe has said that the film is based partly on the life experiences of himself and his friends (including the filming of Straight A's in Shreveport in 2011), but is partly meant to be "a fun scary movie in the vein of Misery". Filming took place on location in Shreveport in the fall of 2012.[38] Catch Hell is set for a fall 2014 release.[39]
In October 2013, Phillippe began filming the thriller Reclaim in Puerto Rico. The movie features Phillippe as an American man who travels to Puerto Rico with his wife (played by Rachelle Lefevre) to adopt an orphan from Haiti. After a confrontation with a local (played by John Cusack), the child vanishes.[40][41] Reclaim will be released on September 19, 2014.[42]
In May 2014, ABC picked up the pilot for Secrets & Lies, which was shot in Wilmington, North Carolina in early 2014.[43] The 10-episode mystery series, which will debut on Thursday nights as a midseason entry in the 2014–15 season, is based on the Australian series of the same name, and will star Phillippe as a family man who becomes a prime murder suspect after he discovers the body of a child.[44]
Phillippe has also been attached to a number of possible future film roles, including Chronicle, a film to be directed by Jay Alaimo that will see Phillippe, Justin Long, and John Hawkes in a story "about two childhood friends who reunite to launch the biggest marijuana dealership in New York City",[45] and Christopher McQuarrie's The Stanford Prison Experiment, an upcoming film about the infamous 1971 psychology experiment.[46]
Phillippe, Breckin Meyer, Seth Green, and David E. Siegal run a production company called Lucid Films.[7] In 2010, Phillippe and Meyer began "getting a show going for Showtime", serving as executive producers.[3] The comedy, Heavy and Rolling, tells the story of a Manhattan towncar driver who assumes different identities as he moves towards madness.[47] Phillippe also served as executive producer and narrator on Isolated, a documentary that follows five surfers as they travel to remote New Guinea in search of untouched waves.[48][49] The documentary premiered in January 2013 at the 2013 Santa Barbara International Film Festival.[50][51]
