Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s “Project Greenlight” to Return

After being away from HBO for 11 years and off TV entirely for nine, Project Greenlight is slated to return to HBO for a new season. The show is executive produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and is a documentary following the search for a first-time director and chronicling the entire filmmaking process.

Both A-listers are very excited to have the show back on the air. From Affleck:

Damon, too, shares his friend’s enthusiasm for the project, especially as it relates to helping aspiring filmmakers earn mainstream recognition:

While no timeline has been set out as to when we’ll see the finished product on HBO, we anticipate it will be a while. The show spans the entire lifespan of a movie, starting with a digital competition to choose the subject film, then following it all the way from pre-production and casting to principal photography, filming, and post-production.
