“Project X” follows three seemingly anonymous high school seniors as they attempt to finally make a name for themselves. Their idea is innocent enough: let’s throw a party that no one will forget… but nothing could prepare them for this party. Word spreads quickly as dreams are ruined, records are blemished and legends are born. The film opens March 2 and this weekend we’ll post our exclusive interviews with the cast, producers, writers and director. Here’s a quick overview of the film.
“Project X” is a warning to parents and police everywhere. Nima Nourizadeh makes his feature film debut directing a cast of newcomers who scored parts through a nationwide talent search. Todd Phillips
(“The Hangover” films) produced the film, with Joel Silver, Scott Budnick, Andrew Rona, Alex Heineman and Marty P. Ewing executive producing. The screenplay was written by Matt Drake and Michael Bacall (“Scott Pilgrim vs. The World”), based on a story by Bacall.
