The first teaser trailer for director D.J. Caruso's (Eagle Eye) adaptation of the I Am Number Four young-adult sci-fi novel by Pittacus Lore [the nom de plume of authors James Frey and Jobie Hughes] has been released. A Steven Spielberg-Michael Bay co-production, the I Am Number Four adaptation was written by Smallville creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and tells the story of a small group of survivors from the planet Lorien, who take refuge on earth after a devastating war nearly eradicates their species. Still hunted, the Loriens' only protection is a charm that prevents their pursuers from killing them unless done in a numerically sequential manner.
With three of the survivors dead, Number Four (Alex Pettyfer) takes on the guise of a human high school student and tries to hide out in Paradise, Ohio, under the protection of his guardian (Timothy Olyphant).
I Am Number Four opens February 18, 2011!
