Twelve years after The Sixth Sense, Haley Joel Osment has returned to frequent dead people. This time around, he’s using them as science projects.

Osment will star in “Wake the Dead”, an upcoming adaptation of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”. Based on Steven Niles’ Frankenstein-themed graphic novels, Osment will play Victor Franklin, a college student morbidly experimenting with the limits of human death.
