As a fan who has followed Haley Joel Osment‘s career since his groundbreaking role in The Sixth Sense, it’s fascinating to see how his experiences on that iconic film have shaped his approach to acting and life. His ability to keep secrets and protect storylines is a testament to the impact of that movie, and it’s clear he learned a thing or two from the one and only Bruce Willis.
Haley Joel Osment and M. Night Shyamalan didn’t create the twist ending, but their work on “The Sixth Sense” in 1999 significantly heightened audience awareness of potential plot twists. This has made us all more perceptive viewers. Throughout his career, Osment was associated with “The Sixth Sense” surprising finale, so it’s not surprising that while promoting his role in Zoe Kravitz’s “Blink Twice,” he had to discuss his history of keeping secrets and the lessons he learned from Bruce Willis during their work on that iconic supernatural film.
Zoe Kravitz steps into directing with the film “Blink Twice“, formerly known as “Pussy Island“. Starring Channing Tatum, this movie finds him playing a tech billionaire hosting an event on a secluded island, but appearances can be deceiving. As a suspenseful score begins to play, our review praises the unexpected plot twists that will undoubtedly be discussed throughout the year. Interestingly enough, Haley Joel Osment, one of the stars, won’t be revealing much through dialogue. During an interview with People about this project and his work on “The Sixth Sense“, the popular figure from “The Boys” shared that his experience in “Sense” equipped him with skills to keep secrets. He stated:
It seems we were cautious about disclosing the climax of “The Sixth Sense,” but it wasn’t like we were guarding a classified secret. It was more a matter of following the standard practice for thrillers: not to spoil the ending. It wasn’t until the movie became a massive success, way beyond our predictions, that I realized there was indeed a need to preserve surprises. In essence, I’ve had a longstanding policy of keeping secrets.
Nowadays, it’s essential to safeguard many things. Some of this stems from Marvel Studios’ mantra, “Keep It Secret!” Generally speaking, thrillers are best enjoyed in theaters where viewers experience the unfolding plot with no prior knowledge of a potential twist. Indeed, there is a twist in the film “Blink Twice“, as Channing Tatum and Naomi Ackie discuss with TopMob (if you decide to read about it). However, I encourage you to watch the movie yourself and uncover its secrets.
As a lifelong movie enthusiast, I have to admit that I was particularly captivated by “The Sixth Sense” when it first hit theaters back in 1999. Now, with the film turning 25 years old in 2024 and its director M. Night Shyamalan sharing behind-the-scenes stories about working with Bruce Willis on this iconic movie, my interest has been rekindled once again. In fact, I even wrote a book exploring the depths of Bruce Willis’ filmography and celebrating his versatility as an actor.
In my mind, he’ll forever be the epitome of a movie star. His charm and authority, coupled with his ability to collaborate seamlessly with a ten-year-old, and his generosity with time – I consider myself incredibly fortunate. Witnessing Bruce demonstrate such behavior has been truly motivational for me. It underscores the idea that regardless of one’s standing in the industry, everyone is working towards the same goal.
It’s likely that Haley Joel Osment is passing on his positive demeanor to his fellow actors. Keep an eye out for him in the film “Blink Twice“. Don’t forget to save our guide to movies coming out in 2024 to help you decide which films to catch at the cinema next.
