In 2011, the sci-fi film “Number four”, directed by Alex Pettyfer, brought great hope to the DreamWorks studio. Take a look at the main project that failed.
Estimated budget is 50 to 60 million dollars. Produced by Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg. Up-and-coming young actor, Alex Pettyfer, headlines. In 2011, sci-fi feature film Number Four, an adaptation of the seven-volume literary saga, hit theaters. Legacy of Lorien Signed by Joby Hughes and James Frey (collectively pseud lore of pitacus), is a project that is important to the DreamWorks studio. The secret goal is easy to imagine: to launch a successful saga on the big screen.
The story of number four? Gifted with supernatural powers, a teenager who keeps changing identities and cities is on the run In the face of enemies who are ready to destroy him. Wherever he goes, John is a newcomer with no past. In the small town of Ohio, where he settled, he experiences unexpected events that will change his life. From first love to discovering her incredible abilities, she also connects with people who share her charming destiny…
For all its strengths, this DJ Caruso-directed number four won’t be graced with sequels. Blame it on low box office expectations, namely a $55 million take on American soil and frankly lukewarm reviews.
At the AlloCiné mic, actor Alex Pettyfer returns to 2018’s No. 4 failure. “The budget was 60 million and it grossed $160 million worldwide.”– said the actor. “I think American films are mostly interested in their local reception. The fourth one only brought in 55 million, which is not good for a 60’s budget. So locally I think it’s a failure, and that’s how I understand what they mean by ‘failure’.”
