College Orgy Cinema-Verite Style

Todd Phillips, he of The Hangover and Road Trip fame, has a project in development, Project X, which is being described as a “hard-R” party movie cast with a lot of unknowns. There’s an open casting session and a website called ProjectXOpenCall was created so that they could find a bunch of people who aren’t normally in movies. I don’t really get what’s going on with the casting, but it’s apparently very unique, and Collider has more details on that, which they got from Phillips personally. Details about the movie are being kept mum, though there’s some indication (via Firstshowing) that it will be filmed cineme verite style (that means, as though the camera were being held by a dumbass drunken college student), but I’m guessing it’s going to be a raunchy, sex-filled Can’t Hardly Wait. That’s what I’d like for it to be, anyway, because it allows me to post the clip below. Whatever happened to Charlie Korsmo, anyway? This is his last known screen appearance:

Man, that scene still rocks your face off, don’t it? But who else misremembers that character as being played by DJ Qualls?

In a somewhat related story, in that Can’t Hardly Wait was a high school movie, and the below trailer is called High School, y’all gotta check this out. Here’s Adrien Brody’s tour de force. Forget The Pianist, forget The Thin Red Line and forget … uh, The Village, here he is as “Psycho Ed” in John Stalberg’s High School, which also stars the likes of Colin Hanks, Curtis “Booger” Armstrong, and Michael Vartan.

Psycho Ed is a deranged motherfucker.

I had forgotten about the Village, but thanks for reminding me.

Charlie Korsmo info according to Wikipedia:

Korsmo earned a degree in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2002, he began working for the United States Federal Government on missile defense. He has also worked for the Environmental Protection Agency and for the Republican Party in the House of Representatives. He received a Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School in 2006.

At Yale, he was a member of the Federalist Society, an organization for politically conservative law students. In January 2006, he and other Yale Law students signed an open letter to Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter supporting the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. In July 2007, Korsmo passed the New York State Bar exam. Formerly an associate in the New York office of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP. Korsmo is currently a visiting professor at Brooklyn Law School.

Looks like he's a pretty smart mofo.

Yeah, but where are the chimps?

So, Adrien Brody and Michael Vartan? Plus the Cingular minutes kid?

*sigh*. Yeah, I'll pretty much be totally watching that. Goddamnit.

Well, given all the praise it received from reliable and unbiased critics in that clip, it must be the best thing since blowjobs.

The open call for Project X is looking for anyone who's 18 years or older who can play under 18. Essentially, from the way they describe it on the logline, they want to do a Girls Gone Wild HARD-R version of The Real World. They want drinking, smoking, fucking, snorting whatever, but legally they can't take anyone who's a minor. Welcome to your nightmare, America. So, Pajiban younglings, get on it. Go set your naughty bits on fire and douse them in the Jersey Shore. Dance, monkeys, dance.

OR, I think it's BOOK WORM. Which.... well, let's just say I now have YET ANOTHER tattoo idea. I'm going to run out of skin at this rate.

Ooh. What broad Real World stereotype should I aim for when I do my audition?

High School was filmed in my home town in Michigan. About five years back they built a second high school but then the recession hit and they couldn't afford to run two high schools at once so they shut down the newer one since its smaller. However, they are now proud owners of a state of the art school that sits completely empty, so Hollywood hauls its ass up to the midwest to film there now because there aren't to many completely new high schools just sitting around. They essentially built a 100 million dollar film set.

So they want to give people free booze, have them make out with outrageously attractive people, and do whatever they want as long as they don't burn down the set? All to add some realism to a party movie?

Oh jesus. What a nightmare. I prefer my party movies clean and sanitized because I've never seen people fucked up or naked at any of my real-life throwdowns. Put some sweaters on bitches, this ain't MTV!!!

Um, wow that trailer looks good. I LOVE Adrien Brody, and the chance to see him tweak out on high school kids while stoned tickles me pink!

Sold.

That trailer for High School borders on amazing.

What, NONE of you saw "Project X"? The wool is bein' pulled, man, the wool is bein' pulled!!

Posted by: Jay at April 21, 2010 2:55 PM

Oh come on, Jay. I ain't dead yet, so you KNOW there's at least one person in this joint who's seen Project X. Poor Goliath. He just wanted a cigarette, goddammit!

I'm going to look up the identity of the Cingular minutes kid. That drives me crazy everytime I see him in a commercial.

Eek Adrian Brody is kinda scary!
