The first is the thriller Take Down, which will be helmed by Jim Gillespie, the director of I Know What You Did Last Summer.
The film, about school students taking on kidnappers at a remote school, will start filming in September and has a budget of around ?10 million.
Meanwhile, the Isle of Man is also set to host a movie about the life of Winnie the Pooh creator AA Milne.

With a budget of up to ?10 million, the Pinewood-backed film will be written by Simon Vaughan, the scriptwriter behind BBC programme Ripper Street.
The movie is due to start shooting in the Island – as well as in the UK - in summer 2014.
