Once we figured that out, the challenges became more technical, like вЂwhat kind(s) of bodily fluids do we want to see?вЂ™ and вЂshould we kill someone or not?'вЂќ вЂњIt was a challenge at first, trying to create a context in which the presence of a camera was justified and believable, yet not so distracting to audiences as to break the proverbial fourth wall.

Writer Matt Drake enjoyed working on a screenplay that is supposed to feel completely unscripted. The rest of the story naturally fell into place after a couple weeks.вЂќ The idea from the outset was to create the gnarliest high school party of all time. We discussed the concept and that night I wrote a stream of consciousness e-mail that essentially outlined the entire movie. Writer Michael Bacall developed those stories into the scenario: вЂњTodd contacted me while I was in Toronto shooting another film. From there, it was about figuring out the vibe, the tone, the story of the movie. Once we got the concept from executive producer Alex Heineman, a bunch of us sat around in a room and tossed out stories about memorable parties, ones that we were either a part of or had just heard about. Producer Todd Phillips says, вЂњIt started in an odd way, more like an experiment. Good thing all of it was just make believe though it was shot to look real, it is the result of the filming of the new outrageous comedy вЂњProject X,вЂќ inspired by tales of real parties gone recklessly out of control and the high cost of righting the resulting mess. You only turn 17 once, right? So, quite possibly, the high seven-figure damages are primarily their fault.

They just wanted a mascot for their party, their вЂњplanned social event,вЂќ intended to blow them out of their anonymous high school existences into the history books. He was only trying to get his gnome back from the teenagers who stole it, and they were clueless about its real worth. ItвЂ™s hard to tell what caused more damage, the fire or the helicopterвЂ™s efforts to put out the fire.Д«ut the angry drug dealer with a flamethrower certainly shoulders a lot of the blame. The house is in ruins, so much so that it looks more like a war zone than a neighborhood where families live.
