A new episode of the Awfully Good Horror Movies video series has just dropped online, and in this one we’re taking a look back at the 2007 thriller The Number 23 (watch it Here), starring Jim Carrey in one of his most serious roles. To find out why we feel this movie was worthy of the Awfully Good treatment, check out the video embedded above!
Directed by Joel Schumacher from a screenplay written by Fernley Phillips, The Number 23 has the following synopsis: A man’s discovery of an obscure book about the number 23 leads him on a descent into darkness. As he becomes more obsessed with its contents, he becomes more convinced that it is, in fact, based on his life. To his horror, he discovers grave consequences in store for the book’s main character.
Carrey is joined in the cast by Paul Butcher, Virginia Madsen, Logan Lerman,...

For many horror fans, the word "remake" tends to send chills up the spine more than ghosts, goblins and gore ever could. Intense hatred of remakes is common among the genre community, as an influx of them in the past decade has left fans yearning for the days when filmmakers were still coming up with original ways to scare us. It seems that pretty much every horror movie we love has either already been remade or is on the ol' remake chopping block – to the point where it’s getting hard to rattle off a list of films that haven’t been remade by now. Try it sometime; you might be surprised. That being said, I hope today to instill in you some small sense of comfort by showing you that just because a studio wants to remake a movie, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to happen.

Whenever a movie studio announces plans for another remake, the reaction among fans and pundits is always the same: Hollywood doesn't have any new ideas.
But we like to look on the bright side of things, which is why we're so happy when we hear of a cool remake or reboot. Hey, who needs new ideas when there are already so many great old ideas waiting to be rediscovered?
With that in mind, we've compiled a list of 50 — that's right, 50! — upcoming Hollywood remakes that tickle our fancy. Because if these films were good the first time, you never know, you might just enjoy them even more the second time around.
'Dredd'
Attached: Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby
Status: The good news for director Pete Travis ("Vantage Point") and star Urban ("Star Trek," "The Lord of the Rings") is that they won't have to do much to meet fan expectations; Sylvester Stallone...

More Landis-related news today (kind of) as news reaches us that the remake of An American Werewolf in London which we all hoped would never get off the ground has, in fact, gotten off the ground. The project was originally announced back in June of last year but little has been heard of it since. Many horror fans who were hoping that the project was dead in the water will have been crying into their cereal this morning as news to the contrary broke on the La Times blog.
Fernley Phillips, writer and co-producer of Jim Carrey’s disastrous The Number 23, has been signed to pen the script. If that doesn’t fill you with confidence I don’t know what will…
This from the La Times:
Of course, sending up werewolves might seem redundant, what with Lautner already providing plenty of unintentional comedy. And Phillips does raise a bit of a question,...

It's over a year since the announcement that the Weinstein's Dimension Films had picked up the rights to John Landis' howling mad classic. But if you were hoping it had gone away in the wake of the Wolfman debacle, think on. The La Times reports that a writer is now attached to the remake of An American Werewolf in London.And it's Fernley Phillips, whose most visible credit to date is writing and co-producing Joel Schumacker's The Number 23, which starred Jim Carrey a couple of years ago. Safe hands then.The thrust this time round is said to be dramatically different to Landis' classic 1981 original, but we can't really see how, given that the central premise is right there in the title. Could it be (gasp!) two female tourists that stray off the moor? But you may want to take heart that Sean and Bryan Furst are involved on the producing side.

Although no details were revealed, the La Times is reporting that the Weinstein Company is in talks with a writer Fernley Phillips, best known for scripting Jim Carrey's horrid "The Number 23", to give a modern spin to "An American Werewolf In London". Bloody-disgusting add that Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein are really looking to depart from John Landis' 1981 horror comedy that told the story of two American tourists in England who are attacked by a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists....

It.s been said roughly a zillion times, on this site and elsewhere, that remakes are almost inevitably going to be awful, so there.s no real reason to beat that long dead horse. But it.s hard not to slam the Weinstein.s and Dimension for going after one of the most classic horror films of all time, John Landis. 1981 An American Werewolf In London. Seriously, go watch that movie. It.s a near perfect blend of horror and comedy and was a special effects marvel for its time. Do we really think that in this day and age a company like Dimension can cobble together anything even half as relevant? Regardless of my opinion, this remake is definitely happening and they.ve just landed themselves a writer, says the La Times. The writer in question is Fernley Phillips who is in talks to modernize (Aka add cell phones...

Well, The Wolfman didn't improve on Rick Baker's makeup effects from An American Werewolf in London, now almost 30 years old, so maybe a new version of that old film will do the trick. Whether or not it works is irrelevant at this point; The Los Angeles Times reports we're getting the movie regardless.
Dimension Films - a Weinstein child - is remaking the John Landis classic, one of the few movies in history that made such an impact in a technical category that they created an Oscar for it. And the project is pretty far along, I guess: Dimension has hired Fernley Phillips, who wrote the unsatisfying Jim Carrey film The Number 23 to handle the screenplay.

Well, the doubters that this project would be canceled just got a cold bucket of water doused on them today. According to The Los Angeles Times, The Weinstein Company has found its screenwriter for the beloved original werewolf film, 'An American Werewolf in London'...
The writer Fernley Phillips, who is best known for scripting Jim Carrey's "The Number 23" thriller has been brought aboard and the talks have been moving fast to make this happen sooner rather than later. The goal is to give the 1981 classic about a Us tourist who believes he's being hunted by a werewolf film a modern feel.
The original film grossed only $30 million in theaters, but was popular enough mainly due to cult status to warrant a sequel, the 1997 "An American Werewolf in Paris," which barely made back its $25 million budget. Hollywood has taken on vampires and it looks like werewolves are indeed next.

Twilight fever is still holding strong in America right now, resulting in a plenty of vampire movies being greenlit, but now thanks to the hotness of Taylor Lautner, werewolf movies are also starting to be considered as well. Last year we learned that a remake of An American Werewolf in London was in development [1], and even though certain teenagers [2] might mistake it for being a direct rip-off of Twilight, it seems that Dimension Films still plans on moving forward with it. They are now in the process of hiring a writer to adapt the original, although the person they are in talks with doesn't really inspire much confidence. Yep... it's the guy who wrote The Number 23. According to the L.A. Times [3], Dimension Films is in about to bring Fernley Phillips on board, best known for writing the Joel Schumacher thriller The Number 23 starring Jim Carrey.

You hear that? It's the sound of someone pissing on this movie.
Proving yet again that remakes of classic films are alway treated with the utmost respect and care they deserve, the Weinstein brothers have recruited the screenwriter of the fantastic, critically acclaimed movie The Number 23 to write the script for An American Werewolf in London. Also, I’m being sarcastic.
The La Times posted the news, which is the first rumbling of information on the project since the Weinsteins bought the Werewolf property last year. Fernley Phillips, the man who didn’t so much write The Number 23 as… unleash it on the unsuspecting populace, is in charge of churning out a screenplay. The Weinsteins are looking “to give it a modern spin,” according to the Times, which is a pretty way of saying that they don’t care about the movie as long as it comes in...

Earlier this year a large and synchronized groan was heard throughout the country when it was announced that Dimension had successfully purchased the rights to horror comedy classic An American Werewolf in London and had plans for a remake. Now, word is out that they may have found a writer - The Number 23 scribe Fernley Phillips.
Let's be blunt - The Number 23 was a quasi-intellectualized convoluted mess. It was a very bad film. The choice of Phillips seems like a step in the already obvious wrong direction; while we have all become accustomed to remakes, those attempts at recreating perfect classics almost always fall flat. How can a version of An American Werewolf in London be created so that I'd want to watch it, instead of the original? It's been suggested that this new version will be modernized - so, what, in the classic theater scene, will Jack...

McG (Charlie's Angels, Terminator Salvation) is circling R.I.P.D, as a potential follow-up to This Means War, so says the Hollywood Cog. R.I.P.D. (Rest in Peace Department), features two dead cops, one recently deceased and the other who died centuries ago. Ryan Reynolds is currently attached to the adaptation of the Dark Horse graphic novel. Zach Galifianakis was as at one point on Universal's wish list for the other lead.
The Meet the Parents sequel, Little Fockers is apparently undergoing reshoots, after the initial print didn't test particularly well. In fact, word is that the producers are trying to coax Dustin Hoffman -- who was not originally in Fockers -- back for the reshoots, so that they could add his character. Other rumors suggest even that John Hamburg might replace Paul Weitz for the reshoots. (La Times, Deadline, Vulture)
Will Ferrell will star in and produce Casa De...

Since everybody apparently has wolf fever, especially with the depiction of 'werewolves' in the "Twilight" series, it was bound to happen. "An American Werewolf in London" is being picked up by Dimension Films in order to be reboot into a typical more modernized version. Scribe Fernley Phillips is only known for his written work with the Jim Carrey starring film "The Number 23" (did anyone even see that film?). Once again the studios succumb to the remake fever that seems to be gripping Hollywood even more so in recent years. It's not even a mere matter that it's a random grab for a remake, but people's general interest in the supernatural fluffy creatures is heightened and what better way to make a profit from it than pulling something like this.Of course, "Werewolf" isn't the only eighties remake that's being cooked up right now. Over in Las Vegas they're in...

I know, I know, Miramax is supposed to have gone the way of the dodo bird, but the genre division (Dimension Films) is clearly still on life support. I know this because the L.A. Times has just informed me that the stunningly lazy and money-desperate company is setting their sights on a remake of John Landis' undeniable classic An American Werewolf in London. To that end they've tapped sophomore screenwriter Fernley Phillips (The Number 23) to somehow ape a film that hasn't been improved upon since 1981. (I'd actually call it the best werewolf film ever made, and that includes black & white movies.)
Forgive the bald-faced derision here ... but this idea sucks raw eggs. Dimension has proven in the past with their involvement on Halloween, The Amityville Horror, and Black Christmas that they care little for pleasing the true horror fans, so long as their stunningly limp retreads make...

Last year it was announced that the Weinstein brothers had acquired the rights to remake An American Werewolf in London, and my heart sank. Since then, there's been no news of any progress on the project, and I promptly forgot about it. That was a happier time. And a relatively short-lived one. Alas, looks like the remake is starting to kick into gear, with the studio looking to Fernley Phillips, the writer of The Number 23, to tackle the screenplay. Learn more about what direction they plan to take the film after the break. The Los Angeles Times, who reported the news, is saying that The Weinstein Co. is looking to give the movie "a modern spin".

Well guess what, since Hollyweird loves it's remakes Dimension and it's parents The Weinsteins are planning on a An American Werewolf in London remake. With all this werewolf craze (blame it on Jacob) they are jumping right in bringing on The Number 23 writer Fernley Phillips. You can balme it just a little on John Landis too who sold the rights back in June 2009 to The Weinsteins.
An American Werewolf in London was well ahead of it's time back in 1981, with the FX combining with the dark humor this is why it's a classic.

With three of the four new releases this frame carrying an R rating, their upside for the weekend might be limited by their own restrictions. As a result, Sony Pictures' Ghost Rider could remain the No. 1 film for the second consecutive week, even if it falls in the 50% range.
Also sure to thrive this weekend is Buena Vista Pictures' family film Bridge to Terabithia. With nothing else in the market targeting that audience, it is likely to experience only a small dropoff for its sophomore session.
New Line Cinema debuts the psychological thriller The Number 23 in 2,759 theaters. From director Joel Schumacher, "23" stars Jim Carrey as a man who becomes obsessed with an obscure book that he is convinced is based on his life. Co-starring Virginia Madsen, Danny Huston and Rhona Mitra, the R-rated film sees Carrey in a serious role -- two, actually, because he and other actors play more than one role.
Playing against type has been a mixed bag for Carrey, who succeeded in Michel Gondry's "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" in 2004 but not as much with Frank Darabont's The Majestic in 2001. With a screenplay from Fernley Phillips, "23" should bow in the midteen-million range, perhaps rising above that if reviews are favorable.

Virginia Madsen is in negotiations to play Jim Carrey's wife in The Number 23, New Line Cinema's psychological thriller being directed by Joel Schumacher. Contrafilm's Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson are producing. Also joining the film are Rhona Mitra and Danny Huston. Elisabeth Shue had been cast in the wife role in November but recently stepped down when she learned she was pregnant. The studio had been in talks with Nicole Kidman, but a deal was never reached because of scheduling conflicts. The movie begins shooting Monday in Los Angeles. In the film, written by Fernley Phillips, Carrey comes across an obscure book titled The Number 23. As he reads it, he becomes increasingly convinced that the book is based on his own life. His obsession with the number 23 starts to consume him to the point that he soon realizes that the book forecasts far graver consequences for his life than he could ever have imagined.
