HBO is bringing back Project Greenlight for a new, Internet-y age
HBO is reviving Project Greenlight, its turn-of-the-millennium competition series that put amateur filmmakers through all the grueling paces of making a movie, until at last we learned who Shia LaBeouf is. And while LaBeouf obviously won’t return, having recently abandoned making anything, the revived show will feature the return of original executive producers Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, whose participation in the original Project Greenlight took place at a time where the Good Will Hunting breakouts were still considered mavericks of independent film, long before their names were linked to playing Batman and Aquaman.
