The smash hit musical television series Glee is absolutely everywhere these days, dominating both the TV ratings and the pop Top 40. So it was really only a matter of time before the Gleeks would start popping up on the big screen.

We already know that Finn (Cory Monteith) will be appearing in Monte Carlo while guidance counselor Emma (Jayma Mays) will star as Neil Patrick Harris’ wife in The Smurfs. Now comes word that Dianna Agron – aka mean girl cheerleader Quinn Fabray – has snagged the female lead in I Am Number Four.

The sci-fi film will be an adaptation of an as-yet-unpublished-but-not-for-long-now young adult novel by James Frey and Jobie Hughes about aliens hiding out on earth as teenagers in high school. The film will star British actor Alex Pettyfer as the title character Number Four. Agron will play an earth-born girl who falls for the spaceman.

The role will be Agron’s first in a big-studio feature production. With Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg producing and Disturbia and Eagle Eye director D.J. Caruso on board to helm the shoot, Number Four has blockbuster written all over it.

Which is not a bad way to start a film career.
