I AM NUMBER FOUR

Here’s a video showing the behind the scenes of I Am number Four and in which the crew introduce the film:

Plot:
“Nine infant aliens, which closely resemble humans, flee their home planet, Lorien, to hide on Earth. An invading species, the Mogadorians, have destroyed their planet, and follow them to Earth to hunt them down. Each of the nine aliens is given a guardian and will develop superhuman powers as they become adults. They are each assigned a number. These last children of Lorien can only be killed in the sequence of their numbers.
Number Four (Alex Pettyfer), also named John Smith, moves to Paradise, Ohio, disguised as an American high school student. He makes a friend, Sarah (Dianna Agron), a sweet Midwestern girl who is a photographer. After being on the run his whole life, Number Four falls in love and now has something to stand up and fight for.”

Alongside Alex Pettyfer, the film co-stars Timothy Olyphant, Teresa Palmer, Dianna Agron, Kevin Durand, Callan McAuliffe, Jake Abel. I heard they have a $60 million budget, so there’s hope for the movie I Am Number Four to be more than a movie for teens.
