As fans, family and the Hollywood community continue to comprehend the news of Corey Haim's sudden death on Wednesday, details are emerging about some of the many projects the '80s icon had been working on. A peek at Haim's upcoming slate reveals plans for a big comeback, a desire to direct and an affinity for everything from slasher to political films.

Here's the latest information on Haim's rumored, finished and never-filmed projects, straight from the mouths of those who were working with him in his final days.

"The Throwaways"
Arguably the most formidable of Haim's upcoming projects, the actor was scheduled to direct and star in the political thriller about homeless people gone missing. Writer/producer Eric Goren said he had been working closely with Haim on the project, but after expressing sympathy for Haim's family, vowed that the movie will be made with another filmmaker.

"A Detour in Life"
"We were in the midst of looking for funders, investors. Now we have to fill his shoes. He was the director, the producer, the lead. Those will be big shoes to fill," explained Jeremiah Vaughn, a producer on the film. "It's a coming-of-age tale. [Haim's character] was going to be married, then his wife is killed in a horse accident. He turns to alcohol, sobers up, then meets a teacher and falls in love. I'm very sorry that Corey didn't get to direct and star in it. We need to get some funding and get this off the ground in memory of Corey."

"The Science of Cool"
Haim was scheduled to play a janitor in this comedy, which was in pre-production when he died. Writer/producer Eric Goren told MTV News that Haim was working on the project up until the end and insisted that the film will still be made.

"Ratred 3D"
"Unfortunately, that project was slated to shoot at the end of July/August, so there's not one frame of footage with Corey in there," explained Anthony Purzycki, producer/creator of the horror film he described as "28 Days Later" meets "Silence of the Lambs." "The film is about a religious cult murdering people in a small town; his character would have been the Gatherer, a scavenger that collects material from the victims. ... There was a stigma because of his past, but we never saw it; he was as professional as you could be."

"SAD (Standard American Diet)"
"It's an anti-FDA piece about the American diet; the story is based on current events. Corey was going to play the part of a chemical engineer," said director/writer/producer Tim Vogel, explaining that Haim was trying to get Alexis Bledel to appear as his wife in the "Fast Food Nation"-like project. "We tried to get him down here last fall to shoot some scenes for a trailer, but it never materialized. ... We're moving forward with 'SAD.' It's still a timely piece that needs to be told. Corey will be in our hearts and memories, and we'll dedicate the film to Corey. He would've been perfect for the role. He was really coming around."

"The Vegetarian Hunter"
"We had sent him a script, and he loved it. He wanted to shoot that. We were going to do it in upstate New York," director/writer/producer Vogel said of a second project he had in the works with Haim. "Basically, it's about a hunter who goes to New York, falls head-over-heels for a girl he meets who is vegetarian, he becomes vegetarian, and she does good things to animals that backfire. It's a romantic comedy."

"The Pick Up"
"It's 'Deer Hunter' meets 'The Strangers,' " Jeremiah Vaughn described of the film, which would have been shot in Louisiana and starred Haim as a Michael Myers-like slasher. "It's a horror hybrid psychological thriller. He was going to play the son. In the film, his dad dies, and he takes over as a killer in his father's footsteps."

"Job"
Despite rumors to the contrary, Haim will not appear in this upcoming slasher flick. "Somebody thought it was funny a long time ago to put him on the IMDb page," explained the film's producer, Lota Hairston-Hadley, who in fact did speak with Corey Feldman at one point about being in the movie. Hairston-Hadley said that she had been receiving calls about Haim ever since the news broke and was working to have his name taken off the page.

"Decisions"
Being positioned by some as Haim's "last" movie, the late actor shot the film in November. In it, he plays a foul-mouthed troubled cop working with problem kids; the film is expected to hit theaters in April, and a scene involving Haim was recently released to TMZ.

"American Sunset"
The Web site for this thriller has a slickly produced trailer showing Haim being abducted and apparently tortured as he tries to rescue his wife. Promising a "Usual Suspects"-style twist, the site promotes the film as "Corey Haim's big comeback to movies" and promises a late 2010 release.

"The Dead Sea"
Producer Rick Tucker told TMZ that Haim had demanded a "clean" set to keep him away from temptation as he shot the film in his final days. The film is about a team of mercenaries trapped aboard a naval vessel filled with zombies; it remains unclear how many of his scenes Haim had completed before his death. "I respected Corey as a fellow actor and will solely remember him for his talent," co-star Fabian Carrillo told MTV News in a statement. "I especially enjoyed his work in 'The Lost Boys' and looked forward to further working with him in 'The Dead Sea.' He will be missed. My heart goes out to his mother and my sincere condolences to his family."
