Anyone know much about this?


It looks very interesting, Matthew Perry is a great actor, and the plot outline looks fairly good, but does anyone know much more about it? thanks

I was part of the crew for this movie. It is hard to tell when you are that close to the 'forest' but I think it is going to be a hit. It has a great rythm and Matthew and Lynne have great on-screen chemistry. Although the story is dark there are some very poigniant moments and great comedy. I sincerely hope that all the blood, sweat, and tears that went in to this from all involved pays off big time.

I hope you are right! Matthew deserves a big hit and I'm hoping this movie will serve to show that Chandler is far in the past. I've been thinking quite a bit about how some people claim that all Matthew's roles are similar to Chandler. I don't really get that but in his defense he spent 10 years portraying one character. That must be very different when compared to other actors who go from role to role sometimes within just a few months or less. So time will tell but I liked the short scenes I saw them filming and I think Matthew Perry is awesome!! RK

I totally agree but I keep reading comments to the contrary. Hopefully NUMB will show a side of Matthew that will cause the doubters to properly acknowledge his talent. He so deserves the credit...RK

I think people who say this are basing on his recent GUEST roles on other shows, where i think he has basically been HIRED to play Chandler (Scrubs etc) again in all but name.

His films i think with the exception of Three To Tango he is quite different from Chandler

He plays a teacher in The Ron Clarke Story which is supposed to air in the US in August, which is completely opposite to the character of Chandler.
