What does it take to make a movie? That's one of the questions that Project Greenlight has always focused on. The docuseries, which premiered back in 2001 and has aired four seasons to date, is getting a refresh, but the basic goal is the same: see if an aspiring director has what it takes to make a successful movie.
The HBO series originally had Matt Damon and Ben Affleck headlining as producers and mentors, but in this new version, titled Project Greenlight: A New Generation, a pair of new well-known Hollywood creators help guide the young director. It also has a new home, officially becoming a Max original series.
