Project Greenlight

Have you seen the third season of Project Greenlight? I have no idea if they are going to make a good movie, but it's going to be one hell of a TV show.

So, they picked this horror movie script, Feast, which is a 20 million dollar movie, that they are going to have to make for 2 million. Then, they pick a talented but very introverted and almost autisicly uncommunicative director, Jon Gulager. He made some great short films, but he can't get his ideas out of his head for anyone else to help execute.

Gulager seems like the kind of director that would do fine all by himself, or with very autonomous help. It looks like he will not have either of these situations. Oh yeah, and he wants to cast his family members in about five roles. Let's just say the studio is freaking out.

The writers are a bit overzealous. They are already seeking representation and lunching with thier lawyer. All this before the final script is finished.

I hope the movie is good mostly because I want to show to continue. No studio will give them 2 dollars, let alone 2 million if this one goes the way of Stolen Summer and Battle of Shaker Heights.
