"Hollow Man 2" Production Underway in Vancouver
by Scott Weinberg | September 01, 2005
Discuss Article
Fangoria brings the news on the upcoming "Hollow Man 2," which stars Christian Slater, Laura Regan, and William McDonald, and will almost certainly debut on DVD shelves and not at your local cineplex.

The "Hollow Man" sequel, "directed by Claudio Fäh from a script by Dimension Films’ direct-to-video king Joel Soisson. Slater stars as a volunteer soldier/assassin who goes mad after he turns invisible. But unlike in the first film directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Kevin Bacon, the latest Hollow Man faces an invisible protagonist this time, a cop trying to protect the story’s heroine (Regan).

"Yes, there are two Hollow Men, hence the title," a source close to the production tells Fango. "One is good and the other evil, and they duke it out. The fight scenes are awesome."

As before, the invisibility experiments affect the subjects both mentally and physically, though now, the characters become mutated once they reappear. "The guys look almost zombiefied, gruesome and disfigured," our contact says of the makeups. “Their cells are mutating, like in [Cronenberg’s "The Fly"]. You can compare them to the Elephant Man.""

Claudio Fah cut his directorial teeth with "Coronado," while the horror fans know Mr. Soisson quite well. As a writer, director, or producer he's given us "Dracula 2000," "Dracula 2: Ascension," "Dracula 3: Legacy," "The Prophecy," "The Prophecy 2," "The Prophecy 3: The Ascent," "The Prophecy: Uprising," "The Prophecy: Forsaken," "Highlander: Endgame," "Mimic 2," "Maniac Cop 3," "Hellraiser: Hellseeker," "Hellraiser: Hellworld," and "Children of the Corn: Revelation." So clearly this is the right guy to pen a "Hollow Man 2."

Head over to Fango for a little more "Hollow Man 2" news.

Well, here's a chance to actually make something that's better than the original, although I doubt they'll suceed at that either.

Just proves that some producers have more money than brains.

Slater is on a run of pure crap. Alone in the Dark and The Deal are two of the worst films of the year by far.

All I gotta say is, what the hell? The first movie was horrid to say the least. Except for that one shot. Yeah, you know the one I'm talking about.

[b]I liked Verhoeven's "Hollow Man" a lot[/b]
I thoroughy enjoyed Paul Verhoeven's "Hollow Man," and thought it was one of the best sci-fi thrillers of recent years. I'm surprised some of you hated it that much.

But I have little hope for the sequel, since the guy making it specializes in low-budget schlock. I doubt, though, it can be any worse than "Alone in the Dark." Christian Slater looks like he's about to join Wesley Snipes, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal in the straight-to-DVD club.

"the fight scenes are awesome! all we had to do was shake a camera at an empty room and bang a bunch of random objects against each other!"

The first Hollow Man was a pretty bad film. I think I'am still going to check the sequel out though... well maybe.

I'm looking forward to Hollow Man 3 when they have a whole hollow civilization and EVERYONE is invisible.
