Todd Phillips And Joel Silver Begin Nationwide Talent Search For PROJECT X!

Beaks here...

Ever wanted to be in a raunchy, high-concept studio comedy? Well, if you're over the age of eighteen, look eighteen, and have some semblance of talent, producers Todd Phillips and Joel Silver might have a place for you in what is currently titled PROJECT X (which presumably has nothing to do with the 1987 Broderick-and-chimps yarn). Plot details are non-existent at the moment; all we know is that Phillips, Silver and director Nima Nourizadeh want to fill out the the cast of this $12 million production with unfamiliar faces. You could be the next DJ Qualls. If this sounds interesting, head on over to http://www.projectxopencall.com/ and read up on what you need to do to place your lovely mug in consideration. Here are the basic taping requirements...

1.When taping yourself, frame the picture just above your head to the bottom of the chest so we can see the face clearly. 2. Next you will ‘SLATE’. Please write your name boldly on a piece of paper and hold it in front of you -- make sure the letters are big enough for us to see the spelling of your name and how to contact you. Shoot a few seconds of video back enough so you can see yourself head to toe. Next, zoom in and tell us your name, age, and height. Please say these clearly, looking into the camera. 3. NEXT, TAPE YOURSELF DOING ONE OF THE FIVE THINGS LISTED BELOW. KEEP YOUR SELECTION UNDER THREE MINUTES: • Tell us your most embarrassing story. • Tell us your craziest party story. • Tell us about the riskiest or most daring thing you've ever done. • If you wanted to impress someone at a club, show us how you would dance. • Show us the one thing that you do that makes your friends laugh. 3.You are now ready to digitize and compress your video for uploading to ActorCast. Please download and follow the instructions for uploading your video and go to www.projectxopencall.com when you are ready to submit.

According to Mikey Fleming, Phillips and co. will not be sending out finished scripts, which leads me to believe this might not be your typical college raunchfest. Or maybe it is, and these guys are just doing a masterful job of drumming up publicity. Phillips is on a roll right now, so I'm intrigued either way.
