Saw franchise helmer Darren Lynn Bousman will direct a movie based on the 11:11 phenomenon, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Bousman's 11 11 11 is inspired by the movement who believe that the number 11 plays a significant part in their lives and alerts them to angels or spirit guardians. Conspiracy theorists also claim that the number recurs in major historical events.

Producer Wayne Rice (Valentine's Day) has teamed up with Bousman for the project, which will open in cinemas on November 11, 2011.

"With Saw and Repo: The Genetic Opera, my career has been about finding new ways to freak people out; that's what I want to do with this," said Bousman. "We want to take this phenomenon and give it horrific purpose."

Rice added of the 11-11-11 release date: "A lot of this has been New Age-y or biblical, with talk of angels. Leave it to Darren to see the dark side of that date
