Independent financing was raised; actors Anthony Stewart Head, Lindsay Felton, and Tanya Roberts were attached to star in the film; and Roddy Bottum (from the band Faith No More) came aboard to provide the musical score.

On November 3, 2009, it was announced that Lost Colony was developing a romantic comedy feature entitled One Night With You[3] in association with Scott M. Rosenfelt, producer of such films as Home Alone (1990), Mystic Pizza (1988) and Teen Wolf Too (1987).
[12] After Lohan was forced back into court due to a parole violation in early 2011, O’Sullivan seemed to abandon the plan of proceeding with the beleaguered actress, telling reporters, “We’re screwed.”[13][14] Amidst the public drama surrounding Lohan, Lost Colony also announced plans for two other projects: An original horror film entitled Hallows (later retitled The Ballad of Jimmy Hallows[15])—which was initially conceived as a vehicle for former adult film star Sasha Grey[16][17]—and the dark comedy The Genesis of Lincoln (based loosely on the historical book of the same name about Abraham Lincoln by James H. Cathey).
Attached to The Genesis of Lincoln (a film-within-a-film about a director attempting to adapt Cathey’s book, only to be derailed after he has an affair with his underage leading actress) was actor Doug Hutchison, who had, himself, recently married sixteen-year-old pop singer Courtney Stodden.
Also in 2012, it was announced that Lost Colony was developing a big-screen adaptation of the novel The Wizard of Seattle,[23] written by multiple-time New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper.
