D.J. Caruso is on board to direct “I Am Number Four,” DreamWorks’ adaptation of the upcoming young-adult science fiction book by James Frey and Jobie Hughes.
“Four” revolves around a group of nine aliens who escaped their home planet just before it was annihilated by a rival species. Hiding out on Earth, the title character disguises himself as a human high schooler, only to discover he is being hunted still by his planet’s enemy.
HarperCollins Children’s Books is publishing the book, which would be the first in a series of six, this fall.
DreamWorks picked up film rights in June, with Michael Bay attached to produce and possibly direct. Bay remains on board as a producer along with Benderspink.
“Smallville” creators Al Gough and Miles Millar wrote the screenplay.
Caruso, repped by CAA and Media Talent Group, is a DreamWorks favorite, having helmed the company’s thrillers “Disturbia” and “Eagle Eye.” It is unclear whether “Four” will be the director’s next go project as he also is developing “The Art of Making Money,” about counterfeiter Art Williams, for Paramount.
I would say this is great news.Please share more detail detail in this mater.As I am big fan of D.J. Caruso.I will surly read it.Thanks.

Yet another new project for D.J. Caruso. DreamWorks grabbed film rights in June. At that time, Michael Bay attached himself to produce and possibly direct. Now he will only produce.

This strikes me as quite similar to the Animorphs books I read when I was a kid, and probably countless other things that didn't seem so blatantly obvious.
