The film looks pretty creepy - and it's not just Cameron Diaz's matronly appearance that's added to the chill factor. The Box is the latest movie by Donnie Darko director, Richard Kelly and features the aforementioned Diaz, as well as James Marsden and Frank Langella. Here are a few more details:
[The Box is both written and directed by Richard Kelly, of
Donnie Darko and Southland Tales previously. The story is based on Richard
Matheson's short story "Button, Button", which was also adapted in a
"Twilight Zone" episode. Warner Brothers will debut The Box in
theaters everywhere on October 30th.]
Not technically a remake - how refreshing! I respect Cameron's transition into "more mature" roles, but it's still kind of tripping me out. Let's hope Richard Kelly is up to the challenge and is able to deliver another Donnie Darko type cult-classic... Perhaps they'll even end up as Oscar contenders - the "Best Picture" field will be widened from five to ten in 2010.
