Fright Krewe co-creator James Frey is promoting the second season of the animated series, but he’s letting the I Am Number Four fans know there’s more on the way.
Frey spoke to ComicBookMovie.com about developing a new reboot of the critically dismissed I Am Number Four, which was released in 2011.
“Neal Moritz is producing a version of it that was written by the original writers, who just made Wednesday,” Frey said. “So, we are in process on it and I can’t say whether it will actually ever get made or not, but I have great people I’m working with who are trying to make it happen, for sure.”
James Frey co-wrote Lorien Legacies under the collective pseudonym Pittacus Lore; it started with I Am Number Four in 2010 and ran for six novels.
The book’s official synopsis reads: “Nine of us came here. We look like you. We talk like you. We live among you. But we are not you. We can do things you dream of doing. We have powers you dream of having. We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books—but we are real. Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. But they found us and started hunting us first. Now, all of us are running, spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. We have lived among you without you knowing. But they know. They caught Number One in Malaysia. Number Two in England. And Number Three in Kenya. They killed them all. I am Number Four. I am next.”
D. J. Caruso directed the film adaptation of I Am Number Four, which starred Alex Pettyfer as John Smith/Number Four, Teresa Palmer as Number Six, Callan McAuliffe as Sam Goode, Timothy Olyphant as Henri, Dianna Agron as Sarah Hart, Jake Abel as Mark James, and Kevin Durand as a Mogadorian soldier.
