SciFi Wire caught up with Jim Carrey recently and got the skinny about what drew him to the lead role in Joel Schumacher’s upcoming thriller THE NUMBER 23. If MEMENTO, THE CELESTINE PROPHECY and THE DA VINCI CODE got your gourd all twisted up though, you may not want to read on.
“I’ve had this obsession with the number 23 for years,” Carrey said. “[The script] was given to me by a friend who had the obsession with it, where he talked about the Earth’s axis is on the 23rd degree and 23 chromosomes in the human body from each parent and all that, and he has books written about everything that adds up to 23. As soon as he told me, I started seeing 23 everywhere. And it’s shocking how much adds up to 23; it’s a primary number, but it’s bizarre. But it really works out in a strange way to be very prevalent everywhere.”
It gets even deeper than that though. And if you want to go down that path you can click here. I just can’t be held responsible for what happens after that.
