In The Number 23, Jim Carrey plays Walter Sparrow, a man obsessed with a book that appears to be about his life, and perhaps, his murder. I wonder if Emma Thompson will narrate, as she did in the other, non-horror movie about a dude living a book, Stranger Than Fiction.
The number 23 actually does have an interesting history in mythology, which I know because I am a "Lost" geek and 23 was featured in last week's episode, so I looked it up.
