Teenage Haley Joel returns to screen

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- Child star Haley Joel Osment took a couple years off to be a kid and is coming back at age 15 in the new indie film, "Home of the Giants."

The Rusty Gorman written and directed film tells the story of a small Indiana town's infatuation with basketball, Empire magazine's Web site reported.

Osmet and his yet to be cast best friend befriend their college basketball idol, whose life turns out to be less than stellar, Empire said.

The film is expected out in 2006 with a probable debut at the Sundance Festival.
