DreamWorks just released a full trailer that lays out the mythology for I Am Number Four, the DJ Caruso-directed film starring Alex Pettyfer, Timothy Olyphant, and Glee‘s Dianna Agron and skedded for February 18. It’s meant to be the first of a series based on the novels by Pittacus Lore.


TWILIGHT w/Aliens. Awesome.
My first thought, too : Twilight meets Transformers. Quality-wise that is NOT promising, but on the positive side, that sounds like a moneymaker.
I don’t think this is going to work out.
this looks much more promising than any Twilight movie ever did
I agree. Even though it`s a shameless Twilight cash-in, it looks better. There`s more action for one, which is a bonus.
Yeah and it’s all in the trailer. SNORE.
ZZZZZZZ…..
Why do the high school students always look 10 years older? How hard would it be to cast kids who really are 17 and not 27? In Spanish it would be Quatro that’s what the Spaniards say. In French it would be what Por Favor Four. That’s what the French say. In China, Japan, Outer Mongolia, Botswana, Soviet Ukraine, Poland, Australasia, Cambodia, all those countries with the diffrent ways to say Number Four. That’s our international strategy. The title will look different in each country because “I Am Number Four” can translate into many different languages. This is why the movie will be a big success.
Alex Pettyfer is 20.
Then why does he look 37? Either someone is lying about his age, or Pettyfer has some sort of degenerative disease.
Hey, “show me proof” when was the last time you saw an actual 20 year old? Not recently, that’s for sure.
Ha — you will love thirty-something MInka Kelly playing a college freshman in “The Roommate.”
Pettyfer kid has a half beard going on with one of the I Am Number Four posters. The orange poster where his face is hidden beneath the writing. I can’t figure how Dreamworks thought it was a good idea to have the main character who is suppose to be a young teen appear like an old man on the poster.
He can’t be only 20, Dude looks much older. Andrew Garfield at 27 looks younger than this guy. I think someone is lying about their age. His girlfriend is also 24 and he looks much older than her in paps pictures.
Lol, so true. They are 15 in the novel. They are definitely NOT 15 in this movie.
i am dreamworks. i do not know how to make a movie that isn’t about aliens. aliens, aliens, aliens. aliens.
This movie looks pretty bad. They showed this trailer during Little Fockers last night and nobody seemed excited about it. In fact I actually heard a couple people behind me arguing how bad it looks. I cant believe DJ Caruso chose this as his next project instead of the Dead Space movie.
Snoresville. He’s hot, but bland.
His photoshopped pictures look hot. In the trailer, his face looks lumpy. He looks like an entirely different person. I kept waiting for Pettyfer to show up, and then realized ugly dude in the foreground WAS Pettyfer!
I don`t think that poor Pettyfer is going to become The Next R-Pattz no matter how obviously they are grooming him for it. R-Pattz has the retarded hair&totally feminine look that girls of certain tender age fall for. I think he`s hidious (R-Pattz, that is) but people have spoken and they disagree,lol. At least he isn`t bland, I`ll give him that. His IQ 20 face with frying pan-hit-me nose is pretty memorable. There aren`t two actors like that. pettyfer, OTOH, has clone son every daytime soap.
Gotta agree – it took many seconds for me to realize it was A.P. in the trailer from the get-go. How different he looks in print – and is he really 20 years old???
Um, didn’t someone already do this exact same story, only it was a TV series called Roswell? Teen aliens on Earth, romance with a normal girl, chased by evil aliens, healing power in their hands, etc. That was basically Season One.
And as I was watching the trailer, I noticed all these little Smallville touches as well – suddenly explained by the fact that Gough and Millar are the co-screenwriters.
I guess James Frey is still ripping people off…
Funny thing is, when I saw first Twilight trailer, wasn`t even aware of the books, my first thought was “Is this Roswell with vampires?”
But this is going full-on Roswell rip off, no aliens masquaraded as vamps. Looks better than twi, though. More action.
You honestly think that a teen alien in high school makes this exactly the same as Roswell? Do you honestly think that Roswell was the first thing to ever have high school aliens? Have you actually seen Roswell, or read I Am Number Four, or are you just spouting off some crap that you read on IMDb?
“You honestly think that a teen alien in high school makes this exactly the same as Roswell?” – Do you actually think you know what you’re talking about simply by seeing a TRAILER? Because clearly, you don’t. “Do you honestly think that Roswell was the first thing to ever have high school aliens?” – Do you honestly think that Roswell didn’t have the EXACT SAME STORYLINE AND POWERS AS THIS MOVIE? Because again, if you think that wasn’t where they got this from, you’re a moron. “Have you actually seen Roswell, or read I Am Number Four, or are you just spouting off some crap that you read on IMDb?” – Yes, I watched every episode of Roswell, and since I Am Number Four is a movie, I don’t have to read anything – it’s a direct rip-off. Obviously you’re the one that’s just spouting off because you can’t admit that you love a movie that could very easily have a lawsuit brought against it for copyright infringement. And since you’re so keen to believe that something from a book is automatically “original,” Roswell was also based on a book SERIES that was published before the show was produced, whereas I Am Number Four was published AFTER the movie was already in the works. So what do you have now? That’s right, nothing, just like before.
And all you other moes, the guy does NOT look that old, nit-picky losers.
And I want to spend 12 bucks to watch Dianna Argon’s control freak bf/manager walk away from explosions…. why? Pass.
Go back to L Chat where you belong. You’re not fooling anyone.
looks more like the Number Two.
That joke gets funnier every time I hear it.
1. Vampires
2. Werewolves
3. Teenagers
4. None of the above, or aliens
I am number four
ALIENS ARE THE NEW VAMPIRES!!!!
What no zombies?
Oh crap, guess I’m out of the loop. I thought Zombies were the new vampires.
OK, this looks like a Nazi Youth alien movie. Seriously, Dreamworks.
Right. Because all blonds are Nazi youth. Racist jerk. By the way, Dianna Agron is Jewish.
ZzZZZZZZZzzzZzz
When did Abercrombie and Fitch get into the movie biz?
They had to come up with a fake name for James Frey and his partner and the best they could do was Pitticus Gore? Seriously. This movie has the stink of development losers and agents written all over it.
Looks terrible. Even worse than the script. Alex is a joke. Someone should write a story of how he brainwashed Diana into dropping her reps.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE: NO MORE SHOTS OF SOMEONE WALKING AWAY FROM AN EXPLOSION … AND THEY DON’T EVEN TURN AROUND TO NOTICE IT.
It ISN’T COOL, YOU DUMMIES – AND IT’S THE MOST OVERUSED CLICHE SHOT IN MODERN CINEMA.
Plus it’s almost always a confirmation that the movie is going to be unoriginal & nothing more than a collection of bits taken from other movies (The Matrix; anything done by Bruce Willis in the last 20 years; anything done by Ahhhh-nold; etc.)
And boy, does this movie (seen in the trailer) look like nothing more than a bunch of old action/sci-fi effects shots. This isn’t even a rental.
Heh–I love how the folks walking away from explosions in movies never get hurt by flying debris…
Ditto for people landing from a high fall. On one knee and then slowly looking up. Please stop. The ghost in the shell landing was so fifteen years ago. Matrix perfected it and now it’s everywhere. Enough already. Just land stand in up please.
Why is this a hot trailer? Execs are out of touch. please stop trying to please the masses and just make good movies. we are dying for good movies.
I’m hypnotized by Dianna Agron.Great to see her on the big screen.
Looks like a TV movie. Fail.
Roswell but with obnoxious lead guy who looks 40 = pass
Walking away from the explosion looking smug, wearing sunglasses. This has become so movie cliche, they are now putting it in alien movies.
How does Agron keep getting roles?? She’s pretty, but there’s a reason she has been relegated to the sidelines on Glee…
Oh, the Palmer-Pettyfer-Agron love saga…think Palmer dodged a bullet on that one! This movie is only relevant (or tolerable)because of the hilarious behind the scenes drama.
Do tell….what behind the scenes drama. Seems like Alex and Dianna have been together since the beginning of filming and doesn’t Palmer have a boyfriend. The same boyfriend she had when she was filming 4. Why would there be drama?
Where Alex is you can be sure there’s drama.
