A few months back we reported that Michael Bay was in talks to produce and possibly direct the upcoming adaptation to I Am Number 4. Well it looks like the talks are over because THR is reporting today that Michael Bay has hired Smallville writers Al Gough and Miles Millar to pen the script. The book is written by James Frey and is about “nine aliens who escape their destroyed world and hide on Earth as normal teenagers. Things aren’t safe for them, though, as the enemy who blew up their planet still hunts them.”
I am interested in this project and have followed it since day one. It sounds like an interesting concept. I will be very interested if Bay decides to take it on as director. Could we see another Spielberg/Bay production? No other news about release dates, production dates, cast, etc… have been released yet.
Are you looking forward to I am Number 4?
