There’s a new sci-fi book and movie series coming down the pipeline. The first book is called I Am Number Four and Michael Bay and Dreamworks want it. 

DreamWorks is firming up a deal to preemptively acquire screen rights to “I Am Number Four,” the first of a six-book science fiction book series that has “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” director Michael Bay aboard to produce and possibly direct.

The franchise is about a group of nine earthbound alien teens who escaped their planet just before it was destroyed by a hostile species. While the high school-aged kids assimilate, the title character discovers that he is being hunted by the enemy that blew up his planet.

I really wish it weren’t Michael Bay, I want to see a good story and that’s just not something he delivers. Hopefully somebody else will end up directing.
