What Happened To The Cast Of I Am Number Four?

2011 was an interesting time for film adaptations of popular books. Series like “Harry Potter,” “The Hunger Games” and “Twilight” had opened the floodgates, and every studio was searching for the next YA franchise that could bring in money by the truckload.

One result was “I Am Number Four,” based on the first book of the “Lorien Legacies” series of novels by Pittacus Lore (a pseudonym for co-authors James Frey and Jobie Hughes). The books and movie deal with a small group of human-like alien survivors hiding on Earth from their intergalactic enemies, the Mogadorians. Unfortunately, they’ve been discovered, and their ancient adversaries have come here to finish the job and wipe them out.

There are seven novels in the main series of books and several supplemental novellas, so there were some serious hopes that “I Am Number Four” would catch fire like its counterparts. Even though it performed fairly well at the box office, it didn’t fare very well with critics and the sequels were shuttered, disappointing fans of the sci-fi and fantasy genre. It did have a decent cast, however, including a number of actors who have started to gain traction in the years since the film was released. Here’s what happened to the cast of “I Am Number Four.”
