Unconstitutional finatum
The following non-spoiler report was composed on the below date, but not posted at that time. At the time of the shoot, Under Coersion and Under Threat, Non-Disclosure "Agreements" were forced to be signed. The threat being, If You Don't Sign, You Don't Work. As always, I reserved my Creator-bestowed Rights, which are protected and guaranteed (not "granted") by the Constitution for the united states of America (though as one will see, this had to shift a bit...).
As with the release of this movie, there can be no demonstrable and/or measurable proof that any real and/or imagined harm can exist by my posting the fact that I Happened To Work On This Project, this report now conveys that... I worked on this project. Whee.
(Remember that I do not believe in providing storyline spoilers myself [such generally currently and/or eventually being readily available Elsewhere notwithstanding], I only convey indications of where I can be seen.)

One to three to one
Terrance of Bill Dance Casting called me the day before to see if I was available the next day for a film apparently titled Green Hat, though in actually, not so much being its actual title. I was told I would be playing a high school teacher, and that originally it was to be Wednesday and possibly Thursday, but they upped it to Tuesday, implying it could be a two to three day gig.
As my day-job temp assignment had ended two Fridays previously, I assured him I was 100% available all three days (and beyond). Terrance told me it'd be shooting at Pacific Palisades High School, "just west" of UCLA... though mta.net confirmed my thoughts that in fact the school was very close to the ocean. Terrance knew the calltime would be "about" 10am, from which I knew I'd have little to no trouble getting there by public transit.
I called later and the recorded hotline information provided the calltime and such. I called again just before turning in to learn, as Terrance had slightly implied, that the calltime was pushed, now to 11:30am. So much for overtime, I correctly suspected.
Catching the 761 to UCLA and from there the #2 Sunset bus, I arrived at the high school at about 10:50 for the 11:30am calltime. Surprisingly, catering had breakfast set out... possibly the very worst scrambled eggs I have had the displeasure to taste. Thankfully their hash and bacon was fine.
We were signed in at 11:30am, the PAs and such pre-filling out bits of our vouchers "for us" (a wholly unnecessary practice that I tolerate but intensely dislike).
Wardrobe loved my blue shirt and brown tie, and I didn't have to wear my jacket, and they had me leave on my glasses (the "professorial" look and such).
Despite even the Crew Parking signs indicated Green Hat, it turned out that (currently) the film's title is Project X. I'd later learn from one of the background-wrangling PAs that the stars of this "secret" project are all unknowns.
Essentially the day consisted of crosses whilst whatever was going on was going on. I tended to "meet up" with a fellow teacher named Greg, sporting a brown outfit and a near Zach Galifianakis style beard. I also met up with lovely Selina MacDonald, closely resembling a tall Katie Holmes.
Lunch was called spot on time, and to our disappointment, the category of teachers were not recalled for the subsequent day/s. Selina and I had been chatting throughout our time between takes, and as it turned out she lived extremely close to me, she agreed to drive me home... but she was amongst those not being wrapped at the seven hour mark as were most of the rest of us (including but not limited to the four teachers). However, as I was packing up, young Kevin Blanch and I struck up conversing as he'd noticed I was re-reading Harry Potter: I was going through The Deathly Hallows again, just as he was going through The Chamber of Secrets again. Kevin lived in Ontario and noticing Sherman Oaks was east as well (as is pretty much everything from Pacific Palisades), he offered to drive me home once we wrapped. It was my first time in a SmartCar, which was quite an impressive vehicle, and I remain extremely appreciative of his generousity in providing me with a lift home.

Someone noticed, after about 15 years
I got a call from Bill Dance regarding the Project X production lawyers having a stroke over my reservation of rights on the voucher, ND"A", et al, a lawful caveat I use on all legal documents. Apparently the production was under the mistaken and false illusion that I was reserving my rights regarding use of my image, which could not be farther from the truth. I reserve my rights due to specific mis-wording on the voucher, falsely and misleadingly implying that [those working background] would receive "wages" as opposed to accurately receiving private-sector compensation for labour, and use of repeated references to the false concept that we are/were "employees" and/or "rendering services" as opposed to correctly and accurately reflecting simply work. Only government employees are employees (e.g., those in the private sector are workers, and while one can use the word employee in the venacular sense, the government unlawfully insists we mean their re-defined definition of "employee:" an employee of the government).
Bill had one of the production people call me and we clarified the "problem."
Aware that only by (being coersed into), signing a document that "waives" my protected rights as though the assertion of rights can be coverted into a crime (Miller v. US, 230 F 486, at 489), would I receive my lawful compensation for my labour.... I had to "agree" to be coerced to do so.
Concurring that the mountain out of a molehill reaction by the lawyers was a bit over the top, Bill and I arranged I would stop by the office the following morning at 9am.

A simple solution
The bus got me to Bill Dance's casting offices at 8:30am; at 8:55 I knocked and Bill and I sat and chatted as I filled out a new voucher and learned the mileage was 52, which I wish I'd known at the time we signed out. Bill showed me the home-made movie trailer for a 1989 film in which he starred: Devil Doll. We then check out my own demo reel for his perusal; he was already aware I'm an actor who does background, not only a background artist. We discussed his own new website, (about to be launched), his upcoming seminar/s which Bill facilitates, and his 99% completed book.
He got ahold of the fellow at the production office, and as a pass was being set up for me to go on the Warner Bros. lot, Bill suddenly suggested he drive me there, as that would expedite things. We scooted over and after searching for the recently-moved production office, I provided them with the updated voucher, and re-signed the "don't take photos on set" though clearly I hadn't anyway, and (in reality under coersion), I re-signed the ND"A", still dated the same day as the shoot.
Ironically I forgot and neglected to obtain my page from the voucher. Bill was gracious enough to drop me at Universal from which I could bus home faster.
This report stands as evidence that I clarify and notify that said signatures were coerced and signed under threat.
I waive no rights at any time.
Based on my experience with this project, apart from this report I will not be promoting this film as much as I generally do. When it is clear the public is notified of the film's eventual release, et al (see November 04 entry), this non-spoiler report will be published and only by actively searching for it will it be found (e.g., normally I post on my Facebook profile that a report is available).

Release date rescheduled
Just keeping stuff up to date, but learned that Project X updated its IMDB entry from a 23 November 2011 release date to a 02 March 2012 release date.
With no trailer or information on the film anywhere (easily noticably) online as of this entry date, this page remained hidden as of this entry. Once a trailer is released, then there can be no harm to reveal I worked on the film, specifically due to my not revealing any spoilers (and my working on a film as background is not a spoiler).
Unsure whether this feature will retain the title, as (while clarifying they're keeping this film hidden under a bushel with zero pre-promotion whatsoever so far), it appears there's recently been a Project X-titled movie, though I would think that one went straight to DVD.
Albeit no release date with this dated-entry, there is also yet another 2012 movie titled Project X, starring Lili Taylor...

(Lots of) information released
With the first Project X Trailer promoted on IMDB, the creation of a Project X Facebook page, and an online Todd Phillips Talks PROJECT X article, that pretty much clinches that this page can be published without reprisal, due to the production, et al, providing measurably more substantial information than does even this dinky page.
The aforemented trailer predictably makes the film seem compelling enough one might want to see it.
