Cameron Diaz Stars in ‘The Box’
The Box is based on the 1970 short story “Button, Button” by author Richard Matheson, and an episode of The Twilight Zone with a similar premise, which was itself based upon the book. The film is written and directed by Richard Kelly and stars Cameron Diaz (Charlie’s Angels) and James Marsden (X Men) as a couple who receive a box with a mysterious power.
Premise: The film is set in Richmond, Virginia, in 1976. One night, a financially strapped, married couple (Diaz and Marsden) receive a box containing a button. The next morning, a mysterious, disfigured stranger (Frank Langella) tells them that pushing the button on the box will have consequences. They will receive $1,000,000, but someone in the world whom they don’t know will die.
The Box is coming to theaters on November 6, 2009.
