Haley Joel Osment to Star in Frankenstein Retelling Wake The Dead
27 June 2011 8:02 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
After an eight year hiatus from the movies, Haley Joel Osment is making a return to acting with three independent projects. The first two are in post-production, with no release set and truly unfortunate titles: Sassy Pants and Montana Amazon. The third has a fine title (Wake the Dead) and should have no trouble finding distribution given the marketability. Variety reports that Osment will play Victor Franklin, a college student who experiments with raising the dead in a present-day retelling of Frankenstein. Wake the Dead is set up at Slasher Films, a production company launched by Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash. Jay Russell (The Water Horse) will direct from a script he co-wrote with James V. Hart (August Rush), based on Steve Niles comic of the same name. Wake the Dead is one of many upcoming projects based on the Frankenstein tale. Hit the jump for a recap. Now with »

Longtime Trek fans may recall that Star Trek movie producer Ralph Winter had a similar idea back in the late 1980s. Following the disappointing performance of Shatner's Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, producer Harv Bennett pitched a version of that for a new film. It was envisioned as a way to produce a new Star Trek movie for the 25th anniversary that would have saved the studio millions by casting unknowns instead of the classic cast.
Theoretically, Shatner's Kirk and Leonard Nimoy's Spock would have recalled the tale and been featured in "bookend" scenes. Word leaked out and most fans reacted »

They talked enthusiastically about casting, about finding franchise properties, about sequels, about comic-book characters, about simultaneous worldwide openings, about the chaotic nature of selling a movie amidst the babble of our current culture … But when the talk turned to 3D, most of the blockbuster producers on a panel at Saturday's Produced By conference were not particular fans. Lauren Shuler Donner ("X-Men," "Free Willy") said she decided not to make "X-Men: First Class" in 3D, and added that too many films use the format.
