I Am Number Four Set Visit Report

Back in July, some members of the media had the opportunity to visit the I Am Number Four set in Pittsburgh.  Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub was one of those lucky enough to catch some of the filming and have an opportunity to talk to the films stars as well as director D.J. Caruso.

Here's a bit of his set report,

Alex Pettyfer is freaking out.  He’s just discovered he can shoot light from his hands and it looks like he has flashlights shooting out from inside his skin.  He’s sitting in a small janitor closet in a High School hallway and I’m standing very close to director D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye, Disturbia).  We’re all looking at the monitors.  Timothy Olyphant, who plays Pettyfer’s guardian, walks into the closet shortly after Pettyfer and he’s telling him to relax.  As Olyphant gets him to calm down, the light emitting from his hands starts to dim until it finally goes away.  While the effect is being done practically, it looks real on the monitor.  I’m impressed.  I watch take after take of Olyphant and Pettyfer trying to get it right.

The report goes on to discuss need to know facts about the book and gives bits and pieces of interviews, "Frosty" was able to do while on set.  There is also a bit more about the scenes that they were working on while he visited. You can read the rest of the report here.
