Nine Things We Learned on the Set of ‘I Am Number Four’
By
High school can be a rough time for any kid: the peer pressure, the bullying, the hormones and even, on rare occasions, the studying. Sometimes, even for the best of us, the pressures of high school can become overwhelming. But when we visited the set the new DreamWorks action blockbuster ‘I Am Number Four,’ we learned that there’s at least one thing worse than being in high school: being in a high school overrun by murderous alien beasts.
And you thought zits were a big problem.
Based on the young adult novel of the same name by authors Jobie Hughes and James Frey (yes, that James Frey), ‘I Am Number Four’ has been touted as the heir apparent to ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Twilight’ since before the book was even published. Yet, as insanely popular as both of those series are, neither of them became true mega-hits until the movie adaptations introduced millions of new fans to the books.
