The Number 23, directed by Joel Schumacher, starring Jim Carry and Virginia Madsen, is in theaters on 2/23 and is a must see. This dark psychological thriller stars Jim Carrey as a man whose life unravels after he and his wife come into contact with the obscure book titled "The Number 23." As he reads the book, he becomes increasingly convinced that his life is based on the number 23 - and that the book is actually based on his life. He becomes obsessed and consumed with the book and the number 23 and begins to realize the book forecasts far graver consequences for his life than he could have imagined.

This film is based on the "23 Enigma" - the belief that all incidents and events are connected to the number 23.
