I Am Number Four
 

DreamWorks is working on a deal to acquire the screen rights to I Am Number Four, the first in a six-book science-fiction series that Transformers director Michael Bay will produce and possibly direct.

Variety has the report, adding that though the book has been shopped around town under a pseudonym, one of the two authors on the project is in fact James Frey -- best known for writing the memoir A Million Little Pieces.

Well, best known to viewers of Oprah's show. It was the big O who tore Frey a new one in front of millions when it was revealed that the author had fabricated parts of the story of A Million Little Pieces.

This deal would continue Bay's alliance with DreamWorks and Steven Spielberg. The trade paper says that it's "expected that Spielberg will be active in a behind-the-scenes capacity, similar to the godfather role he has played in the Transformers franchise."

The story involves a group of alien teenagers who escaped their planet and wound up on Earth. They assimilate into our planet's culture, even as the title character learns that he's being hunted by the baddie that blew up their home planet.

You are Number 6! (sorry, couldn't resist :o :p )

I am not a number!

I take my card and I stand in line
To make a buck I work overtime
Dear sir letters keep coming in the mail
I work my back till its racked with pain
The boss cant even recall my name
I show up late and Im docked
It never fails
I feel like just another
Spoke in a great big wheel
Like a tiny blade of grass
In a great big field
To workers Im just another drone
To ma bell Im just another phone
Im just another statistic on a sheet
To teachers Im just another child
To irs Im just another file
Im just another consensus on the street
Gonna cruise out of this city
Head down to the sea
Gonna shout out at the ocean
Hey its me
And I feel like a number
Feel like a number
Feel like a stranger
A stranger in this land
I feel like a number
Im not a number
Im not a number
Dammit Im a man
I said Im a man

I'm on the run, I kill to eat.
I'm starving now, I'm feeling dead on my feet.
Going all the way, I'm nature's beast.
Do what I want, I'll do as I please.

Run! Fight! To breathe! It's tough!
Now you see me (haha!) Now you don't.
Break the walls, I'm coming out.

Not a prisoner I'm a free man,
And my blood is my own now.
Don't care, where the past was,
I know where I'm going...Out!

If you kill me, it's self-defense,
If I kill you, then I call it vengeance.
Spit in your eye, I will defy,
you'll be afraid when I call out your name.

Run! Fight! To breathe! It's gonna be tough!
Now you see me, and now you don't.
Break the walls, I'm coming out.

Not a prisoner, I'm a free man,
And my blood is my own now.
Don't care, where the past was,
I know where I'm going.

I'm not a number, I'm a free man,
Live my life where I want to.
You'd better scratch me from your black book,
'cause I'll run rings around you.


Not a prisoner, I'm a free man,
And my blood is my own now.
Don't care where the past was,
I know where I'm going.

I'm not a number, I'm a free man,
Live my life where I want to.
You'd better scratch me from your black book,
'cause I'll run rings around you.

Not a prisoner, I'm a free man,
And my blood is my own now.
Don't care where the past was,
I know where I'm going.

For official purposes, everyone has a number. Yours is number 6.

am not a number — I am a free man!

Only as free, as one's mind allows....

woah....deep man.
