The trailer for I Am Number Four: Misunderstood aliens are the new misunderstood vampires
Here’s an early look at I Am Number Four, the first adaptation of a planned young-adult sci-fi franchise from “Pittacus Lore,” the combined nom de plume of Jobie Hughes and disgraced-yet-still-popular author James Frey. As with most young-adult sci-fi/fantasy/horror/what-have-you concepts these days, I Am Number Four practically radiates its desire to be the next Twilight: It’s the green-filtered story of a brooding young hunk who’s also secretly an alien, and thus saddled with supernatural powers that make his already-angsty teenage life extra confusing—especially when it comes to courting girls like Glee’s Dianna Agron.
