I will be 23 in October, it's a sign!
Now really, I like the idea of Jim Carrey in a thriller. I can see him do a role like Michael Douglas in 'The Game' or something like that. Just a guy that becomes obsessed with that 23-thing... I see it.
But why does it have to be Joel Shumacher ? His films are always in the middle or 'good, but nothing more than that'. His 'Phone Booth' was good, but by letting know that the killer was
SPOILER! Sutherland, he ruined the ending. And such stupid 'mistakes' you can find in every Joel-film. He also doesn't know what 'sphere' means. And his movies aren't exactly what you can name 'intelligent'.
If I want to see Jim Carrey in a psychological-thriller I want it to be directed by the best! Christopher Nolan, David Fincher, Michael Mann, Jonathan Demme, maybe even Brad Anderson. That guy did amazing things with 'The Machinist'. But not Joel.
