From Comingsoon:
USA Today reports that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's Project Greenlight are teaming up with Scream director Wes Craven to produce their first horror film.
On Tuesday, the two announced the latest Project Greenlight winner. Written by first-timers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, Feast takes place in a remote bar ravaged by cannibalistic creatures. Newcomer John Gulager will direct.
Feast, as was the previous two Project Greenlight movies, will be filmed during production as a making-of, behind-the-scenes reality series that will air on Bravo, which picked up the series after it was dropped by HBO. The completed film is expected to reach theaters next year.
Ben Affleck also said at the event that Paramount and Tom Clancy are currently deciding whether the next Jack Ryan movie will be Red Rabbit or The Teeth of the Tiger. "When they settle that, then we'll figure it out. Under the right circumstances, I'd be into it."
Also, the Los Angeles Daily News caught up with The Village star Judy Greer who talked a bit more about Wes Craven's trouble-plagued Cursed.
"I just did four hours of ADR (automatic dialogue replacement), and it's just about done. They're hoping to have it out by Halloween," says Greer, who has a lead role in the film starring Christina Ricci, Shannon Elizabeth and Scott Foley.
Cursed was reportedly completely reshot with additional new actors after Craven became unhappy with initial footage of the werewolf film. Greer says, "We have enough for three or four movies now."

I'm all for Project Greenlight; I mean, it allows average Joes like myself to actually make a movie.
But when are Ben and Matt going to write another movie? I mean, seriously, Good Will Hunting was BRILLIANT.

Ben says that they have many ideas and as soon as Matt comes back from Europe (hasn't he already?!) they are going to sit down to finally write something. Not that I believe it 100% but it's from a serious interview at least...

Has anyone got to see the first episode of Project Greenlight this season? Oh, that was great! This season shows us how the Hollywood bigwigs think, and offers us some insight into how some really crappy movies get greenlit (HINT: It's all about marketting).
Feast looks like it's going to be a shitty movie... but it will sure make a great season of Project Greenlight.
On a side note, anyone see the previous winner, the Battle of Shaker Heights? God, that was a good movie!

I did catch the episode (might've been the first) where they chose their director.
Can't say I'm impressed. They think Wes Craven is the "Master of Horror." Apparently they haven't heard of John Carpenter, Clive Barker, Stephen King, Sam Raimi, George Romero, Ronny Yu, Ridley Scott, Steven Speilberg, Tobe Hooper, or Paul Verhoeven--all of whom Wes Craven couldn't hold a candle to! (And I know I forgot some)
The show is a good idea, though. But Wes Craven: Horror Master? Gimme a break.

I think ol' Mister Craven is well known for two reasons: Nightmare on Elm Street Part 1 and Scream.
I think it's mostly because of these films that people think he's a master of horror, and he ain't. He's had way, way too many failures for me to consider him a master. As well as that, he panders to Pop Horror fans and teeny-boppers all too often.
George Romero and John Carpenter are true horror masters.
So, my short answer would be: "I disagree!"
