According to Variety, Carrey will play a man who becomes obsessed by a book that appears to describe his life, but ends with the murder of the main character.
The title of the film comes in when the number 23 appears over and over in the book, seemingly woven into the plot, and he becomes obsessed with the number in his own life while trying to ensure that he is not murdered.
The film will be under production soon. Shooting may even possibly begin as early as November.
New Upcoming Movie Deal For Jim? 
According to Variety, Jim Carrey is in talks to star in 'Used Guys'. The comedy will also star Ben Stiller according to Variety.
The movie will be set in the future where women live alongside male clones after natural males were killed off due to an enhancement drink.
Carrey and Stiller will play obsolete clones whose partnership skills have been surpassed by newer models.
The clones are determined to regain their dignity and search for a male nirvana known as Mantopia.
Jay Roach (Austin Powers) directs from a script by Micky Bernbaum. Stiller also produces at Red Hour Films. Variety reports that the plan is to shoot next spring.
Used Guys would mark the first onscreen star pairing of Carrey and Stiller, though the latter directed Carrey in The Cable Guy. It will also be Carrey's first film with Roach.

Keep in mind they belong to JIM CARREY IS MY INSPIRATION
website! THANK YOU!
Well, it has finally
happened. I met Jim Carrey.
However before I begin the tale, I have something
else to say on this topic.
Someone signed my guestbook as a private entry
and then decided to not tell me who they were when I opened the
message to read it. Why hide who you are? Anyway, the message read
"Instead of bragging about your close encounters with Jim Carrey,
why don't you actually tell people how he inspired you?" I personally
think that in my write-up about my encounter with Jim, I make it
very clear how he has inspired me. I would challenge anyone to go
through what I have and then see how they would handle it. This
situation I have been through is not something I am proud of, so
I would hardly call my entry about meeting Jim "bragging". I would
never want to go through this situation again!
Do I feel blessed that I have met him? Yes, I do.
I will not lie about that. After all, I have admired him for 13
years now. He is who inspired me to chase my dream. Never did I
imagine that someday I would be going through all the hard times
he did. So it makes me feel even more inspired by him. But by my
telling others what happened, I meant for it to be inspiring for
others. That their hope of meeting him someday will happen.
I am sorry if anyone has taken anything I have
said about my meeting Jim in the wrong way. I am not "bragging"
about it. I am simply telling my story. Jim Carrey Online has a
whole section dedicated just for you to tell your story about meeting
Jim or Jim sightings. So I feel my telling my story is no different
then others telling their tale as well. Now on with the story...
:-)
I went to the first screening of Jim's upcoming
movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which was very very
good by the way. Well, Jim is known to show up at the first screenings
for his movies. So we sat as far back as possible in the theater
in hopes of seeing him sneak in the back door after the lights went
down. Well, we never saw him come in.
Next thing I know, after the movie we looked up
and saw Jim's personal assistant, Linda. So we knew that Jim HAD
to be there somewhere.
So we went outside and decided to go to the back
of the theater to see if Jim came out the back. When we got back
there, we saw a black SUV waiting by the sidewalk with it's lights
on. We sat by the car waiting to see if Jim came out and to see
who was going to get into that SUV. I did not want to pass up my
chance to meet him.
About 30 minutes of waiting, Jim, his daughter Jane,
Linda, and some other man walk out the back doors. Then a few other
guys joined in the group. They were just standing out there talking.
By this point it is 10:00 pm and I told them that if the group got
smaller I would go over to Jim. About 10 seconds later, about 3
of the people walked off and all that was center was Jim, Jane, Linda,
and the guy who I assume is a bodyguard. So I got a fresh piece
of gum and decided that I should not litter (LOL) and go over to
the trashcan that was about 5 feet from Jim and his group. So I
started walking over there like I was on some mission from God!
LOL
I threw my trash away and took one step away from
the trash can and I waited. All 4 of them looked over at me at the
same time and the bodyguard guy kinda tensed up a bit but Jim put
is hand out towards them and said really sweetly, "No. It's okay."
He looked me right in the eye, smiled really big,
put out his hand before he even got over to me and walked up to
me and shook my hand. So I proceeded to apologize to the group for
interuppting.
I looked up at Jim and I said the following: "I
have been wanting to tell you something for the longest time." He
was smiling at me and said, "Okay." I said, "I have recently gone
through some very difficult times that I know for fact you can relate
to. I was living out of a car with my family earlier this year and
now I am staying in a hotel room in exchange for my stay there.
I have been following your career for 12 years now and it freaks
me out that my life is become parallel to your past." He said, "Oh,
man." Like he was sympathetic. But he looked at me and never looked
away. He seemed really interested in what I had to say.
I then said, "I have something for you. I have been
carrying this around with me for awhile now." And I pulled out the
letter I had written him earlier this year. I said, "It is only
one page. Short, sweet and to the point." He said, "That's okay."
I said, "Please read this whenever you get a chance.
It explains my situation in more detail and it would be nice to
vent to someone who I know understands what it is like. Plus on
top of the pressure pile, I came out here to act so that just adds
to the pile of crap."
He said, "Don't call it crap. Just keep the faith."
I said, "Well, I am still going through these hard times so it is
crap. Maybe one day I will look back and laugh but not right now."
And he smiled. Then he put out his hand to shake mine again so I
shook it and then we were hugging.
So I told him once more to read it when he got the
chance and really sweetly he said, "I will. I will. Thank you."
Jim's daughter was smiling the entire time at me. LOL So I am relieved
that I got to tell Jim how I feel and give him my letter about my
situation. Just pray that he responds in some way. I really need
to talk to someone who can fully understand how I am feeling. And
you could tell while I was talking to Jim that he certainly did
not expect me to tell him all I did. I did not ask for a picture
or an autograph. That would be acting like a typical fan and I did
not want to treat him like that. So I handled it very classy and
did not studder or mess up what I had to say.
But I am kinda disappointed now that it is over.
I am not a typical fan. I am not trying to gush all over him. I
just need to talk to my mentor basically. So as silly as it may
sound, please pray that this is not the end of this story.
