Teresa Palmer is learning to count for I Am Number Four, DreamWorks’ adaptation of the upcoming young-adult science fiction book by James Frey and Jobie Hughes. D.J. Caruso is directing.
Palmer will play Number Six, one of nine aliens who escape their home planet before its annihilation by a rival species and hide out on Earth disguised as human high schoolers.
Alex Pettyfer, a British actor making his American debut with Beastly, will play the title role of Four. Sharlto Copley, the star of last year’s hit District 9, will play Pettyfer’s guardian and mentor.
Michael Bay is producing with Steven Spielberg. Chris Bender and J.C. Spink are executive producing with David Valdes. Al Gough and Miles Millar wrote the screenplay.
The WME-repped Palmer recently appeared in Bedtime Stories and next will be seen as the female lead in Disney’s summer tentpole The Sorcerer’s Apprentice with Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel. She also will take part in the Mad Max movie Fury Road.
