Oliver Cooper, Thomas Mann & Jonathan Daniel Brown Interview For ‘Project X’
Mar 1st
Directed by Nima Nourizadeh and produced by Todd Phillips (The Hangover, Old School) and Joel Silver (The Matrix), ‘Project X’ follows three seemingly anonymous high school seniors as they attempt to finally make a name for themselves by throwing the most epic 17th birthday party ever. The film documents the high school party as it gets completely out of control – COMPLETELY out of control – shot from the perspective of the digital cameras that the kids have with them. Starring newcomers Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper, Jonathan Daniel Brown, Kirby Bliss Blanton, Dax Flame, Nichole O’Connor, and Alexis Knapp, ‘Project X’ is in cinemas now.
How did you become involved in ‘Project X‘?
Oliver Cooper: I had a friend, Shaun Weiss, who was Goldberg, the goalie from the Mighty Ducks movies, and he was also in Heavyweights, and he got a hold of Judd Apatow. Shaun was my first big supporter, we did stand-up together. And he got a hold of Judd Apatow, and got me an audition for this after I heard about it. And we tried to get an audition for a couple of weeks. I had an audition, I had nine auditions for the part, and it was just crazy.
Thomas Mann: Yeah, I had done one movie prior to this one. And it was called It’s Kind of a Funny Story, with Zach Galifianakis. And so originally they told me that I had too much experience to even audition because they wanted strictly unknowns only. But anyway, after some convincing, I decided to e-mail Zach Galifianakis and ask him to put in a good word with Todd. And I ended up coming back in and reading with Todd again, and several more times, and eventually, finally, we all got cast, so it was cool.
Jonathan Daniel Brown: I just did an open call over the Internet. They saw, I don’t know, thousands of people. So I don’t know what I did that was so awesome, but I appreciate it.

What was it about ‘Project X’ that appealed to you? And what do you think people will find relatable.
Todd Phillips: What I always really responded to ‘Project X’ was that it’s not really about “the nerds,” we’ve seen a million movies about “the nerds.” But more likely in high school situations, this film is really about the anonymous guys, they’re not even “the nerds,” they’re not this or that, they’re just really three guys at high school who nobody really notices. It’s very much about needing a sort of game changer. They feel like they’re these invisible kids, from their own perspective. They want to make a name, because they feel anonymous, they want to make a stand and make a change. I think that’s relatable because I think most people in high school fall into that group as opposed to “the jocks,” or “the nerds,” or this or that. Most fall into, or at least feel, like they’re in that anonymous sort of category. I found that interesting.
