Another thing I’d like to add is everyone is forgetting this director brought us hits like Disturbia and Eagle Eye!!! Whatever you thought of thoes films he did a fantastic job with the direction in thoes movies and stuck really close to the character development instead of just the action. Plus lets not forget thoes movies did awesome in the boxoffice so putting D.J Caruso at the head of this project was a very wise choice!! Not to mention the cast of new faces and upcomers along with some well known veterans and with the aid of both Steven Speildberg and Michael Bay is sure this film to succeed whether people want it to or not. And this isn’t just me being too optimistic (cuz I obviously know however I AM NUMBER FOUR does in theatres can go either way), this is what’s going to grab audiences’ attentiion (and hopefully get them interested in the books, yes there’s gonna be more than 1 book). So for thoes of you judging the picture by a few scenes in a collaberation of clips I hope you realize how misleading this trailer is cuz I can tell you right now that what your seeing isn’t even close to what the entire story is about!! If you’re curious I suggest again pick up the book and find out for yourself!! This is absolutely NOTHING LIKE TWILIGHT!!!

Couldn\’t agree more with this article. It\’s being compared to Twilight because that is exactly what studio executives want it to be, while also caring less for the lackluster source material. You can throw this on the pile of other vapid films based off of unimaginative young adult/fantasy novels including The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising, Golden Compass, Eragon, ect… This film is right up there with other throw-away films such as Jumper, Twilight, and sadley even X-Men 3… Or even Wolverine! Remeber the 2006 bomb The Covenant? Neither do I… But this film falls along those lines of potential box office failures.
Yes, I\’ve read the book. More prescribed Young Adult nonsense. Sorry…

I know people that blog at IndieWire aren\’t real journalists, but this takes the cake. Do you actually know anything about this movie while you are busy comparing it to Twilight, easily one of the least apt comparisons I have ever seen applied to a movie? Have you bothered to do any research beyond watching a two minute trailer? Don\’t answer, the truth is already obvious. You just like to show how cleaver you are by being snarky on the Internet. May favorite, since you didn\’t ask, is the \”grey Pacific Northwest setting.\” The film takes place in Ohio and was filmed in Pennsylvania. So I guess that geography is just one more thing that you aren\’t good at.

If you\’d read the book you\’d know that observation lacks accuracy. I AM NUMBER FOUR is NOTHING like that grabage twilight francise!!! Twilight is about two pathetic moody teenagers who can\’t live without each other, this is about a teenage alien with a destiny on the run from badguys that want to kill him and he just happens to fall in love with a human along the way. It\’s also about his relationship with his mentor as well as his human friends Sam and Sarah\’s ex-boyfriend Mark (who is his rival at first). Think more like UNDERWORLD meets THE BOURNE IDENTITY. But above all else don\’t make a snap judgment based on a 2 minute and 30 second clip:/ Above all else READ THE BOOK and I can tell you right now there is nothing romotely anything to do with twilight!! the only similarity is human girl falls in love with supernatural guy, like that hasn\’t been done before twilight, really:/ BUFFY, DRACULA & ROSWELL anyone?
