We knew the sequelisation crowd was just getting out of hand, but Sony is about to either take it to new levels or recapture the art of sequelisation. It all depends on how you view the original movies, and the movies in question are, according to Hollywood Reporter through dtheatre:
“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.
I’ll skip over the fact that the story mentions a “I know what you did last Summer 3” and go straight to some possible details on Hollow Man 2.
“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 production team on Hollow Man 2 has a pretty good rep behind them, and the writer is pretty on with his sci-fi background.
I liked Hollow Man, but it wasn’t a great movie. It was really made an entertaining watch by Kevin Bacon and partly Elisabeth Shue. So without them, and especially Bacon, I’m not that interested. I think it reeks of cash in, as does the Summer 3…How the hell are they getting away with digging up every movie they can, even when there’s no possible way you could squeeze in a sequel? The story above isn’t even connected! What do you think?…and what about that picture? Caption ideas?
I think everyone knows while watching the first video that the temptation to go out into the world is the best part… the first hollow man should have extended that more. more people would have liked it. and if they don’t do this in the second one, i believe there is no point in the production of the sequel. i mean give me a break…
Christian Slater is in it. The best actor, of course the movie’s gonna be great. People just won’t give him a chance to come back and I’m sick of it!
I saw Christian Slater working on Hollow Man 2
I loved Hollowman I and I thought Kevin Bacon was great in it. Hollowman II is starring Christian Slater. I know we haven’t seen him in a while in anything major but he is a good actor and will be able to hold his own. Re: why they would do Hollowman II. Why not. Part of the major reason of doing a sci-fi story is that technology for special effects is so much more advanced now that by doing Hollowman II now, you’ll see that the quality of effects will be much better than in Hollowman I. I do hope it does get shown in the theaters, since there is a whole generation that probably has never even heard or seen Hollowman I. And for those fans of Hollowman like myself it will interesting to see where this one goes.
No Kevin B is not in it, I think that the guy starring in this is so far down the ladder that there is absolutely no 6 degrees of seperation. I know of what I speak I work out at UBC and H2 just spent the weekend shooting in my building. One of the guys here spent friday afternoon helping their crew use some equipment in our facility. They dressed up one of our lecture halls as a DOD office and control room. To say that there isn’t a budget would be an understatement. Craft services was pretty much whatever you brought and word from the crew was the project is going straight to TV forget theatre or DVD. To bad to in a quirky kinda way I would have liked to have seen them put a little more into this one. Sorry Hollow lovers. !! Cheers from Canada. :)
i do hope for everyones sake kevin bacon is in it!
start the movie from the burning lab. perhaps he could find some way of stabilizig his psychotic outbursts and be a good guy?
no,even better go out on a mission to seek vengence on those who would hurt those closest to him? NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
PICTURE HIM BEING USED AS A PUPPET FOR THE GOUVERNMENT AND HIS FAMILY BEING USED AS LEVERAGE, THIS MAD SCIENTIST COULD BE ON A MORE PURPOSEFULL PATH TO VENGEANCE THEN.WHAT IF HIS EX HAD A CHILD?AND WHAT BECAME OF THAT WOMAN WHO WAS RAPED? ANYONE GOT IDEAS?
HURRY UP AND ANSWER COS IT DONT LOOK LIKE ANYONE SEEMS TO HAVE AN OPINION! YOU NEED TO WRITE MORE ABOUT THIS MOVIE!
Dave.
it’s tough to do a sequel without the huge budget of the original. I don’t mind sequelization of movies, just as long as they’re good. I enjoy it when they create franchises. i hope the sequel fetish stays, cuz it’s a cool thing
All the Tremors movies were good, not as good as the first, but still pretty good. But I have always enjoyed Kevin Bacon as an actor,he’s just good. Every movie he has ever been in I have liked. From Footloose to HollowMan, he has my vote.
I would pay to see tremors 5 before i ever went to see this thing. The first was bad, it wasn’t horrible, it wasn’t great, and I didn’t care for it. By the way, every tremors but the first has sucked, and I’d still pay to see another cheap rehash before you got me in the same theater as this.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!! HOLLOW MAN ROCKED MY CONCERT!!!! I hope Kevin Bacon returns.
“I braught the lube this time”
sorry for that….
