Haha. It's like The Red Violin, only evil, and a phone number.

What I think you do there is have the latest guy who gets the phone number keep getting phone calls of condolence. Then when he finds out about the curse it's too late -- someone close to him is killed in an accident that should have killed him instead. In trying to get justice for this person, he'll call for help from one of the underworld figures who called before.

I dunno. Something like that. The phone number becomes a self-fulfilling causality loop of tragedy and murder.

A lot of people who want to do it as a horror movie, but I don't think you can fight a phone number in the third act... unless it's some deranged murderer just killing everyone with that phone number.

I can definitely see something like this being the plot for a horror film.

It'll be an Asian film that will be remade here in America.

You have three unexplained deaths revolving around the phone number 0888 888 888...add 888+888+888 = 2664...Now, divide 2664 by 666 and we get 4. The Devil already has 3, what happens when he gets to 4? And know that nothing good could come of it, what would you be willing to do, or give up, to make sure that the new owner of the number survives? And to do that, you have to figure out what kind of deal Vladimir may have made to turn Mobitel into a worldwide powerhouse business.
