Forums: The Number 23

PLOT: A man (Carrey) becomes obsessed with a book that appears to be based on his life but ends with a murder that has yet to happen in real life.

TRAILER: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809356682/trailer

Looks very interesting. I love a good psychological thriller and I'm digging Jim Carrey in this role.

When you drink Dr. Pepper 23 is always on the tip of your tongue.

doesnt that sound a bit like 'stranger than fiction"?

I don't like these kinds of movies. I think the plot points are always extremely arbitrary and usually go in circles. And i don't like Carrey for this serious of a role. He can flex to romantic comedies like Eternal Sunshine, but this is a thriller. It may flop.

What about Minority Report?

minority report was sci-fi. this looks like a psychological thriller.

im not sure what to make of the number 23

at first it did remind me of a stranger than fiction rip off

but the trailer reveals that it's nothing like stranger that fiction

i bet ill end up going to see this one. i like those puzzling movies that make you guess again and again.

although i always laugh a little when i see loyd christmas taking on serious roles. nonetheless, jim carrey is actually a great actor, id say one of the best.

Check out this creepy poster:

Fair enough. Is there a trailer yet? This looks pretty interesting.

The poster Kross posted is pretty cool looking.

all i could think of was Dr. Pepper when I saw this thread. the movie does sound good though.

Carrey has enormous talent, if this movie fails it won't be because of him.

The creepy thing is I met a psycho like this who was obsessed with numbers and connections. He was mentally deranged.

Yea I met this guy who went by Snatchtastic... He hadn't been heard from in a while and all he kept saying was 4,623 (the number of posts he has) It was really creepy. I think he was mentally deranged as well.

This looks kinda cool and creepy from what i saw of Trailer, like Jim Carey, only let down for me was Cable Guy but will be interested to see what this turns out like?

hehe im lovin the army of darkness avatar pingu. Ash rules!

Hey gang, I havent posted for a while, I've been busy with my own Film Making forum, and getting ready for film school, but I was just browsing the ole Movie Web, and saw the Number 23. I saw this trailer yesterday and it blew me away. It may sound strange, but my brother and I are Twenty Thirdians, believers in the power of 23! It's crazy that they would release a movie about it, but it looks fantastic. It will probably do for the actual number 23 what the craft did for Paganism and Witchcraft.

Hope I'm welcomed back, and there are no grudges :P

Just found a trailer that worked Yahoos was messing up.... This movie looks great. At first I thought it was gonna be like Stranger then Fiction but it looks nothing like it. I have a good feeling about this movie.

Hey It Looksgood To Me! Dude Wanna Test The Waters Out Of Comedy! He Can Do It Tooo! Hope It Makes Money!

Look Out For Ripleys Believe It Or Not Starring Jim Carrey Himself

It looks really good. And who knows if Jim Carrey could (Actually be serious) and pull off being in a Thriller. I think he could.
