When D.J. Caruso is on, he delivers good fare such as THE SALTON SEA and DISTURBIA. When he’s off, though, we get shit like TAKING LIVES, TWO FOR THE MONEY, and EAGLE EYE. Will his upcoming sci-fi flick I AM NUMBER FOUR help even out the ratio?

For now, all we’ve got to go on is the film’s trailer and this new one sheet that’s just been released, featuring star Alex Pettyfer with glowing blue hands. That tone of blue has really come back to sci-fi with a vengeance, huh? SKYLINE, COWBOYS VS. ALIENS, this… and… um, why am I even talking about this?

I AM NUMBER FOUR opens February 18, 2011.

Synopsis: Three are dead. He is Number Four. D.J. Caruso helms an action-packed thriller about an extraordinary young man, John Smith (Alex Pettyfer), who is a fugitive on the run from ruthless enemies sent to destroy him. Changing his identity, moving from town to town with his guardian Henri (Timothy Olyphant), John is always the new kid with no ties to his past. In the small Ohio town he now calls home, John encounters unexpected, life-changing events—his first love (Dianna Agron), powerful new abilities and a connection to the others who share his incredible destiny. John (Alex Pettyfer) is an extraordinary young man, masking his true identity and passing as a typical student to elude a deadly enemy seeking to destroy him. Three like him have already been killed… he is Number Four.
