As the expectation for I Am Number Four continues to rise, it’s shaping up to be an all out mega action fest – super-human – romance – alien killing story, which equals all round entertainment pleasure. Looks like it might be quite a hit with all the right ingredients but mostly because it shows off some really good production values that are always nice to watch on screen.
Whilst these stories take a leap of faith to get on-board, this one has all the trimmings to make that transition pretty easy so check out an interview with star Diana Argon and the latest featurette and trailer for the new movie.
The film stars Alex Pettyfer, Dianna Agron, Teresa Palmer, Timothy Olyphant, Kevin Durand, Jake Abel, Beau Mirchoff, & Callan McAuliffe. It’s written by Smallville creators Alfred Gough & Miles Millar and is directed by D.J. Caruso.
Steve ‘Frosty’ Weintraub of Collider caught up with Diana Argon and spoke about her character and working with her co-star and now boyfriend Alex Pettyfer:
I gotta ask about Sarah in this movie. Is she studying to be a photojournalist? She’s using her camera all the time, what is she hoping to do with that? Is she wanting to do art photos or be a photojournalist? What’s her back-story on that?
Agron: You know, I think she’s explored this fishbowl that she lives in and for the first time is feeling at home in herself and kind of her place. And so I think for her, these photographs, she wants to escape behind the camera because it’s so much more interesting to her.
And why is John Smith so interesting to her?
Agron: Because it’s a chance to start over. She’s had this life that, maybe part of it she wanted, part of it she hasn’t, she had the high school football boyfriend, that wasn’t what she wanted. And so for the first time she has somebody that has no judgments, and is listening to her being her, and at the same time she’s not judging him. And they are so quickly drawn to each other and let down all the walls and just have these really pure, organic feelings for each other. It’s what I loved so much about their characters, and you see that that really helps them both go on this journey together, and to really strongly pursue, you know, the plan.
Is that the kind of relationship you want in real life? One where the fake walls aren’t up all the time?
Agron: Definitely, because I think that any strong relationship with your family, with your friends, with your partner, it’s the hardest to share everything sometimes because, you know, life isn’t always smooth sailing and sometimes you’re afraid of hurting somebody’s feelings, or anything, but I think that the truer you can be to yourself the more you’re going to kind of open your horizons to a really beautiful relationship. But you know, it’s not always the easiest thing to do.
How did it feel to costar with Alex (Pettyfer) in this movie?
Agron: He was great. I mean, I didn’t meet him until the day before the table read. And I thought, “Okay no judgments” he’s British, he’s very attractive, he’s the lead in this movie, let’s see. And you realize quickly with him, he’s very worldly. He’s from Europe; he’s been traveling and kind of exploring and taking in people from all different walks of life his whole life. And he was very passionate about this film and about what we could do and what we could explore with it. I think it shows in the trailer, I mean he looks amazing and so focused, and yeah I can’t wait to see the whole thing and kind of really see how it all turned out.
