Are Project Greenlight scripts posted online?

Does anyone know if the PGL screenplay submissions are up for viewing anywhere online? I know they were for season 2. Thanks

They have the top 6, minus "Feast". It has the message "Screenplay removed during production period", which they never did in the previous contests. Maybe it's because so much of horror is based on surprise, and they didn't want every knowing the story's twists.

Scanned through Wildcard. Didn't seem to be at all a horror flick. Did they pick Feast then decide to make Greenlight horror themed? Or did then ask screenwriters for horror screenplays from the get go?

Of the top 3 scripts, only Feast (the one chosen) was a horror film. Wildcard was said to be more of a thriller/drama and the other movie ... Hans something was a comedy.

The "horror" theme came from the choice of Feast, though I think because Dimension films is funding this season, they were looking for a "genre" film.

From the actual contest announcement:

Are we looking for a certain type of screenplay? Actually, yes we are.
We are looking for "genre" projects that have a powerful impact, like Horror or Thriller -- projects that really grab the audience's imagination and attention.

Of course we will be open to considering other kinds of projects because we appreciate creativity and innovation.

I read that as "write whatever you want, but we probably won't accept it if it isn't horror".
