HBO didn’t renew ‘Project Greenlight,’ Damon says

LOS ANGELES >> “Project Greenlight” won’t be getting a fifth season on HBO.

Matt Damon said Tuesday that he was shocked HBO didn’t pick up his and Ben Affleck’s show, which chronicles the production of an independent film.

“I really liked it and thought that the show went great,” Damon said while promoting the latest “Jason Bourne” film. “I’m not one to question (their programming). They do such a great job. But we have to take it out again.”

Damon says that that they’ll start shopping the show around again, and he thinks that a streaming service like Amazon or Netflix might be a good fit.

“There are places where I think we could do really well,” he said.

“Project Greenlight” aired on HBO for its first two seasons from 2001 to 2003, before moving to Bravo for season three in 2005. The show came back to HBO for a fourth season last year.

HBO did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
