Those familiar with the project know that director Nima Nourizadeh cast relative unknowns for the story of high school nerds who become legendary after throwing the most epic party. How epic? Hot chicks, at least one dwarf, tasers, flame-throwers, and not to be overlooked, a little dog in a moon bounce. The dog alone sells me. Is it too late to get him a Golden Collar nom?

Another audience member referred to it as “Superbad on crack.” Hey, let’s all go out and try some crack. It looks awesome! (Coming Soon)

_{And please, keep the fat, bearded auditions to a minimum.}

Last week we told you that Todd Phillips is working on a raunchy, low budget comedy deemed Project X, which Joel Silver will co-produce and Nima Nourizadeh will direct. Unlike most outlandish secret projects in Hollywood, this one is actually panning out, as Phillips has given it a violent shove into the casting phase.

People with faces and voices and dreams and no shame can audition for a role in the 12 million dollar budget comedy at projectxopencall.com. You need to be at least 18 years of age and look like you’re actually 18, so Nic Cage need not fire up his Handycam. Your options for the video audition are as follows:

• 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.

How about all five at once, casting agents? I’ve kept a sh*tting myself yarn in my back pocket for years that’s gonna bowl you over. Hollywood stardom, here I come! (Deadline)

Hollywood is abuzz for Todd Phillips and Joel Silver‘s newly-announced Project X. Even though they don’t know much about it. Here’s what we do know:

• The title and high-concept plot are being kept secret.
• It will be rated hard-R.
• The budget is $12 million and will star a cast of college-aged complete unknowns.
• Phillips will produce before directing The Hangover 2. Commercial director Nima Nourizadeh is at the helm
• The movie is not a remake of Matthew Broderick‘s 1987 cigarette-addicted monkeys drama.

Why so secretive? Are they planning some kind of elaborate prank?? What is this project and why is the concept so high?? More importantly, what role will The Dan Band be shoe-horned into??????? I don’t like secrets. I’ll be holed up in my bunker until this mystery is solved. (Deadline)
