The makers of "Project Greenlight" have finalized a deal with Bravo to bring a new season of the moviemaking show to the cable network.

The show will likely return to television in 2005. It's moving over to Bravo after two seasons on HBO, which opted not to renew it.

One of the reasons cited for HBO's passing on the show, which chronicles the making of a Miramax-funded film by a first-time writer and director, was the fact that producer Chris Moore might not be involved in the third season. But Moore, who also produced the "American Pie" films, will be part of the series after all.

He won't take the central role in the show that he previously has and won't produce the movie that results from the "Greenlight" contest, says Frances Berwick, Bravo's senior vice president of programming and production. Moore will, however, take part in selecting the contest winners with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, his partners in the production company LivePlanet.

"This glimpse into the creative process of filmmaking is a perfect fit for our brand, and we're thrilled with the prospect of providing 'Project Greenlight' the kind of elevated platform it deserves on Bravo," Bravo president Jeff Gaspin says in a statement.

The third "Greenlight" contest will differ somewhat from the previous two in that the concept is calling specifically for horror or thriller scripts. Berwick says Miramax and LivePlanet believe a genre film will have more viable commercial prospects than the coming-of-age stories the past two "Greenlight" films have told.

Contest rules and submission deadlines will be announced soon at ProjectGreenlight.com.
