For the longest time, fans of Haley Joel Osment have been waiting for him to be cast in a film that would be his breakout role as a young actor, that would allow him to demonstrate that he is no longer the child actor that he was. It would be a role so strongly written and directed that it would give Haley Joel Osment the chance to show film goers the world over that his Oscar nominated performance as a child actor in The Sixth Sense was no fluke.

Truth & Treason is possibly the first film that will allow Haley Joel Osment to do just that. He was an amazing, undeniably gifted child actor. We fans believe that Truth & Treason will showcase Haley Joel Osment as a serious young actor who will stun film goers and critics alike with a deeply moving performance. Watch the development of this film carefully. We are expecting great things to come ...

2nd August 2008 : Film students and everyone who is tracking the production of Truth & Treason will want to get their hands on two essential resources, firstly a book called When Truth was Treason, the first scholarly tome about Helmuth Hübener, and Truth and Conviction , a 2002 documentary by none other than Truth & Treason director, Matt Whitaker, also about Helmuth Hübener.

8th July 2008 : In a scholarly and detailed entry in Wikepedia , the life and exploits of Helmuth Hübener is chronicled. Interestingly, according to Wikepedia , Hübener's story was documented in the 2003 movie, "Truth & Conviction," written and directed by Rick McFarland and Matt Whitaker. The movie, later released on DVD, was sponsored by the BYU College of Humanities . Matt Whitaker also directed a documentary called Truth & Treason, based on the youths' defiance of the Nazi regime. Matt Whitaker then decided to make a film of the events. Veteran actor Max von Sydow was cast first, followed by Haley Joel Osment a couple of months later. Haley Joel Osment plays Hübener, with Matt Whitaker directing his own screenplay co-written with Ethan Vincent. The Wikepedia article, last modified 6 July 2008, at 22:14 , is archived here .
