After the huge success of the two Transformers movies, it's no surprise that director Michael Bay and DreamWorks are partnering again. What is surprising is the project. According to Variety, DreamWorks has preemptively acquired screen rights to I Am Number Four, the first of a six-book science-fiction series from writer James Frey (A Million Little Pieces). WME agency has been keeping the author of the series under wraps, shopping it Thursday under a pseudonym. But a source confirms Variety's report that Frey wrote the book with another unnamed author. Bay is on board to produce and possibly direct the film.

Michael Bay shouldn’t be allow to ever make another movie again. Worst hollywood director ever.

Is this story, like “A Million Little Pieces,” also based on the real life experiences of Mr. Frey? Or did he (again) use a bit of “artistic licence”?
I wonder if Oprah will have him on her show as a guest – is she still running her book club?
Nate – You’re a friggin’ moron, that article is a joke… some of the best movies out there are directed by Michael Bay. You’re in the minority group and people like you just like to blow things out of proportion to get attention!!! you guys are just pathetic.
What do you expect? DreamWorks tried to buy that plagiarized “Opal Mehta Got Kissed” book a couple years back. Next they’ll be buying up those JT LeRoy books. Don’t ya just love Fake Writer Day? Woo hoo!
