One thing I love about Richard Kelly's third feature, The Box, is how easy it is to make a perverted joke out of it. I've been doing it since the beginning, and don't expect to stop any time soon.
Though Kelly's second attempt didn't get the praise that his first (Donnie Darko) did, that's not slowing the director from quickly moving onto (hopefully) bigger and better.
The Box Stills
USA Today has released the first preview for The Box with some stills to boot. Check out the film's first official synopsis:
Norma and Arthur Lewis are faced with a terrible dilemma when a mysterious glass box turns up at their door. If they press the button inside the box, they'll get enough money to save their ailing son, but in exchange, someone, somewhere in the world will die. When the temptation to save their beloved son becomes too much to bear, Norma pushes the button. Immediately, a gunshot rings out somewhere nearby. Consumed with guilt, Norma must do everything in her power to solve a murder she has knowingly caused.
The Box
Since Richard Kelly is known for thinking outside the box, I guess this horror makes a perfect, albeit ironic fit.
