If you were on the fence regarding D.J. Caruso’s I AM NUMBER FOUR, I’m not sure the new one-sheet Disney has unrolled for the film will do anything to sway you one way or the other. With a simple shot of Alex Pettyfer in profile, it’s clear the marketing machine behind the flick wants to emphasize the light vs. dark element of the science fiction yarn. You see what I’m sayin’, right?!?
In I AM NUMBER FOUR, An extraordinary young man, John Smith (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, 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, powerful new abilities and a connection to the others who share his incredible destiny.
Timothy Olyphant, Dianna Agron (below), Teresa Palmer, Kevin Durand, Jake Abel, Emily Wickersham, Beau Mirchoff, Monica Ciszczon and Patrick Sebes fill in the supporting cast.
I AM NUMBER FOUR lands in theaters February 18th.
