Dreamworks has released an extended sneak peek of I am Number Four that arrives in theaters February 18, 2011.
Three are dead. Who is Number Four? D.J. Caruso (“Eagle Eye,” “Disturbia”) helms an action-packed thriller about an extraordinary teen, 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 teen, masking his true identity and passing as a typical high school student to elude a deadly enemy seeking to destroy him. Three like him have already been killed…he is Number Four.

Anyone else bothered by the fact all the Ubermenschs are white and blond, the bad guy has aboriginal tatoos and non-whites seem to be near nonexistent?
I didn’t watch the trailer, but that plot blurb sounds vaguely like the first half of A.E. van Vogt’s _Slan_.
I’m starting to think this movie might be pretty decent. I don’t know if it’s worthy of a sequel, but something tells me it would be about “Number 5” or something. :P
It’s nice to see Dianna Agron in something on the movie screen that’s a bit popular. She’s rocked the TV scene for a good while now.
The basic plot is nothing new… but the execution looks like it might be worth a watch. We’ll see. I hope it’s Hit material.
