Adapting I am Number Four into a movie

          Some challenges the director would face in the recreation of I am Number Four into a movie would be adding more dialogue. The book has a lot of moments where Number 4 is thinking about things and not really talking outloud. The director would have to find a way to have more talking and interraction going on rather then him just dwelling on his own thoguhts. He'd also probably have a hard time capturing all of the book into a two hour film considering it is a pretty lengthy book that takes place over a period of time. He'd probably have to fast forward through a lot of parts in the book.
       
          In adapting this book, it's really important to keep most of the characters considering there isn't that many. Most of them contribute to the story a lot and would take away from the plot if they weren't in it. You also need to keep a lot of the fights that go on because they have a large importance to the novel. They are what make the book so excititng. Also, you'd definetly have to keep the relationship between 4 and Sarah because that adds something to the movie to make it attractive to both genders and not just have constant fighting going on. It also adds more conflict.
       
         There are some things you could get rid of that don't matter to the story are the part where 4 and henry have the long road trip to Ohio because it's pretty boring and meaningless. You could also take out the parts where 4 is training in his backyard becaus nothing important happens and it wouldn't take away from the plot.
