Nima Nourizadeh makes his feature film debut directing a cast of talented newcomers who scored parts through a nationwide talent search. “Project X” stars Thomas Mann, Jonathan Daniel Brown, Oliver Cooper, Dax Flame, Kirby Bliss Blanton, Alexis Knapp and Miles Teller (“Footloose”). Todd Phillips (“The Hangover” films) produced the film.

The release will be a Blu-ray/DVD/UV Digital Copy combo pack with 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements will include: Project X: Declassified, Project X: Pasadena Three, Project Xpensive: Tallying up the Damages, and XTENDEDCUT to the break of dawn, yo! – Extended Cut Feature.
