Project X Is In the Works And It Doesn't Star A Monkey

Don't be confused with the 1987 movie with the same title that starred a Monkey and Matthew Broderick, this is not a reboot of that film.

Project X has got tongues wagging in Hollywood. Warner Bros, Todd Phillips and Joel Silver are mobilizing a raunchy comedy with a $12 million budget, a hard R-rating, under that working title. British video/commercials director Nima Nourizadeh will be making his feature directing debut, and Phillips will be the producer and creative godfather.

There are several unusual facets to this film. First, when was the last time Warner Bros spent as low as $12 million on a movie? Second, the real title and the concept are being kept secret--all I can get is that it's an outrageous high concept--and the filmmakers won't be distributing full scripts, only watermarked pages to prospective college-aged cast. But the most intriguing part is that the filmmakers are intent that every actor cast in the film will be losing their screen virginity on the project.

While Phillips gave star-making turns to Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms in The Hangover, that trio would have been vastly overqualified --and too old--to be considered for roles in Project X. So, if you were just in contention to be Captain America or Spider-Man-

Project X will begin production June 14 in Los Angeles, right after Phillips completes post-production on the Robert Downey-Zach Galifianakis comedy Due Date and before he begins pre-production on The Hangover 2. Phillips intends to be a hands-on producing presence during the shoot. Silver will be executive producer along with Scott Budnick--who runs Phillips’ Green Hat Films banner. The film gives Phillips the opportunity to expand the raucous R-rated comedy brand he has been building at Warners, beyond pictures he directs. The studio has set Due Date for November 4 release and The Hangover 2 for Memorial Day weekend 2011, but conversations are just beginning on where Project X will fit into the studio's release calendar.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
