The Michael Bay Produced (And Directed?) I AM NUMBER FOUR Has Writers...


Merrick here...

DreamWorks has brought in Miles Millar and Al Gough to script an adaptation of I AM NUMBER FOUR - a new title by James Frey and Jobie Hughes.

Gough and Millar come to the project having created SMALLVILLE, and scripting SPIDER-MAN 2 and THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR.

Michael Bay will produce the film, and possibly direct. All of this per Variety.

I AM NUMBER FOUR is about a group of alien teens who are living on Earth after their homeworld has been wiped out by badguy aliens...who come gunning for them here. We first heard about this project back in June; you can find a few more details HERE.
