Project X, the mysterious project created by Todd Phillips, the director of The Hangover, has now been revealed. First Showing got their hands on the first plot details. The film is apparently a cinema-verite style look at a party. The viewer will experience something similar to the party scene in Cloverfield in which a guest documents the evening. The film will be in 3-D and is being shot for $12 million. There is a chance that Project X will be shot in 3-D, yet Todd Phillips told First Showing that "with a $15 million budget, I don't think this is the case." Is anyone tired of 3-D yet? Cinema-verite has been a cliche for years and with Paranormal Activity, it has gotten even more popular. But cinema-verite is not nearly as annoying as 3-D. Who cares if a comedy about a party is shot in 3-D? That has nothing to do with the plot! Hollywood, give our eyes and wallets a break and shoot movies in 2-D again! It worked for the first 100 or so years of filmmaking.
