1. Synopsis
Spiraling into a dark obsession with the number 23, Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey) twists his once idyllic life into an inferno of psychological torture that could possibly lead to his death as well as the deaths of his loved ones.

2. 23 Examples of the “23 ENIGMA”
The "23 Enigma" refers to the belief that all incidents and events are directly connected to the number 23, some permutation of the number 23, or a number related to the number 23.

3. About The Production
British screenwriter Fernley Phillips was first turned on to the number 23 enigma by a friend. And much like Walter Sparrow, the lead character in The Number 23, Phillips was quickly drawn in to the mystery of the number and its meaning.

4. Casting The Number 23
For the lead role in The Number 23, Schumacher and the producers turned to an actor he had worked with on Batman Forever in 1994 – international superstar Jim Carrey.

5. The Challenges of The Number 23
With the cast on board, the filmmakers set about figuring out exactly how they would bring this story to life on screen. While Fernley Phillips’ screenplay was unique, it was a complicated story which still needed some tweaking in order to successfully translate to the screen.

6. 23 On The Set
Since obsession with the number 23 forms the backbone of the film, it only seems logical that some of that obsession would spill over to the production itself. In fact, members of the cast and crew seemed to be aware of the presence of 23 in just about everything they were doing
