The New York Times bestselling author James Frey, with Jobie Hughes, will be writing a new teen series. The first title in the series, I Am Number Four, is about a group of alien teenagers who are the only survivors of their species after their home planet was destroyed by hostile invaders.  The teens have taken refuge on Earth, but now the same beings that destroyed their home are hunting them down, one by one.

Alex Flinn's Beastly is headed to theaters! CBS Films has tapped Mary-Kate Olsen and Alex Pettyfer to star alongside Vanessa Hudgens in the teen romance Beastly. Daniel Barnz is directing from his own script, in which Olsen's character places a curse on a handsome egocentric young man, to be portrayed by Pettyfer, who's physically transformed into everything he despises.  The story is based on Alex Flinn's fantasy novel, a retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" set in modern-day New York. Shooting started June 13 in Montreal. Read Beastly now.
