DJ Caruso Directing High School Alien Thing

According to the Heat Vision blog, DJ Caruso, director of all your favorite Shia LaBeouf thrillers, has signed on to direct I Am Number Four for Dreamworks. The film's script, written by Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar (note: Smallville is still on the air), is based on the upcoming young adult novel of the same name written by Jobie Hughes and Oprah's fallen, lying angel, James Frey.

Summary:

"Four" revolves around a group of nine aliens who escaped their home planet just before it was annihilated by a rival species. Hiding out on Earth, the title character disguises himself as a human high schooler, only to discover he is being hunted still by his planet’s enemy.

I don't want to be premature with my enthusiasm but, people, I think we may have another Suburban Commando on our hands!
