Cameron Diaz's stock recently went up a few points thanks to the recent "F*@king Ben Affleck" video and I have always had a great appreciation of Marsden's work. Because of this and this only, I am partially curious about The Box.
Wait a sec. It's directed by Richard Kelly? Okay, now I'm extremely curious.
The Box Stills
After trickling a couple stills last week for The Box, Warner Bros. has sent over the official set along with an updated synopsis.
Based on the short story by Richard Matheson, The Box stars Cameron Diaz as Norma Lewis and James Marsden as Arthur Lewis, a suburban couple with a young child who receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger, played by Frank Langella, delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million with the press of a button. But, pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world...someone they don't know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the crosshairs of a startling moral dilemma and must face the true nature of their humanity.
