'Project Greenlight' Opens Third Contest The folks at "Project Greenlight" are ready to begin anew the process that thus far has led to great television and not-so-great movies.The series, which is moving to Bravo from HBO for its third season, will begin accepting entries from screenwriters and directors on Monday, Feb. 9. The deadline for submissions is Saturday, Feb. 28.Miramax and LivePlanet, the companies that run "Project Greenlight," are taking a slightly different course for the third contest. The script contest is asking for horror or thriller screenplays, after coming-of-age stories won the last two contests.Directors are asked to submit an original short or scene no longer than three minutes. It can cover any subject matter, as long as it's not "pornographic or illegal" (complete rules and submission guidelines are at ProjectGreenlight.com).LivePlanet principals Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Chris Moore, along with a group of Miramax executives, will then choose a writer and director by midyear, with production on the winning film starting in late summer or fall. The third season of "Project Greenlight" is slated to hit Bravo early next year.
