Jim Carrey returns to the silver screen, not in comedic fashion as he did in Fun With Dick and Jane, but puts on the dramatic mask once again in the scary thriller The Number 23.
Filming ironically begins on January 23rd and co-stars Virgina Madsen (Sideways), Danny Huston and Rona Mitra.
New Line Cinema is financing the Fernley Phillips script that will be helmed by the famous Joel Schumacher, so be prepared for a real white-knuckled experience.
In the film Carrey is a man obsessed with a book that appears to him to perfectly mirror his life but ends with a murder. The prime number 23 is paramount in the book and is interwoven throughout the plot of the novel and Carrey’s life. Incidentally, in the occult the number 23 has the property of coincidental occurrence of psychic events.
