On September 11, 2001, 24-year-old Gerard Way was commuting into Manhattan for his Cartoon Network internship when he witnessed the World Trade Center towers collapse.
He later described the scene as feeling like being inside a disaster film, something his mind could barely process.
At the time, Way had trained as an artist and was pursuing a career in animation and comics.
After 9/11, that suddenly felt meaningless to him.
He picked up a guitar and wrote “Skylines and Turnstiles,” a song inspired by what he had witnessed. It became the first song written for My Chemical Romance.
Way then recruited drummer Matt Pelissier and guitarist Ray Toro, beginning the band that would become My Chemical Romance.

Before filming Project X in 2012, the producers had the cast spend several weeks together to make their friendships “feel real on camera.” They took trips around Southern California and filmed themselves hanging out to help build their chemistry.
The script was then adapted to match how the actors naturally joked and talked, while the characters were given the actors’ real names to make the movie feel like an authentic amateur film made by a group of actual friends.
