"The Sixth Sense" star is now doomed to see dead people forever as he takes one of the lead roles in the 2012 adaptation of the novel "Wake the Dead" written by Steven Niles. "Wake the Dead" was a graphic novel based off Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," the single most important horror film EVER! For those of you that don't know, Frankenstein started the horror movie phenomenon! "Wake the Dead" focuses on two medical students that try and bring back the dead. Osment plays one of the students, Victor Franklin. Article on Osment and "Wake the Dead" here.
I'm thinking that Haley Joel Osment got stuck into Sci-Fy/Fanatasy type roles in his most notable movies, The Sixth Sense and AI, and it appears that "Wake the Dead" won't be any different. He has also been in "Second Hand Lions" and "Pay It Forward," both pretty sad movies. Haley Joel Osment is also known for voicing Sora in the hit video game produced by Square Enix, Kingdom Hearts. He has voiced Sora in the first and second games as well as all of the spin-off games such as "Birth By Sleep," "368/2 Days," "Recoded," and "Chain of Memories." It's safe to say, though, that Osment has mostly participated in Fantasy type projects. Here is a list of projects he has been on.
For those of you that don't know, Kingdom Hearts is a mix of Disney and Final Fantasy.
