"Hollow Man 2," "Road House 2 -- Last Call" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer 3" are in various stages of development at the company. It has not been determined whether the projects will be released theatrically or become direct-to-DVD releases.
"Hollow Man 2" is being produced by Red Wagon's Douglas Wick, David Lancaster and Vicki Sotheran. The story revolves around a Seattle detective and a biologist who are on the run from a dangerous invisible assassin gone rogue as well as the government forces that created him.
Swiss director Claudio Feah, repped by ICM, is directing from a script by Joel Soisson. A mid-August start date is scheduled.

The story, which focuses on new characters who didn't appear in the first two movies, revolves around four teens in a Colorado town who are menaced by an assailant a year after a Fourth of July prank turns deadly. Michael Weiss wrote the screenplay.
A director is expected to be announced shortly, and a late-summer shoot in Utah is planned.
