The trailer for Richard Kelly’s The Box is online and ready to push your buttons. The film follows Cameron Diaz and James Marsden, who play a married couple struggling to make ends meet in the Seventies. Come the arrival of a strange box on their doorstep, followed by Frank Langella’s mysterious stranger, their fortunes are soon reversed, but at what cost?
Judging by this trailer it seems that Kelly has constructed a tightly wound thriller with a horror tinge to it. The film has an intriguing premise in place, and could well be the writer/director’s most straight forward genre effort yet.
The film was adapted from a short story by Richard Matheson titled, Button, Button. This promo comes courtesy of traileraddict.com
The Box is scheduled for release in the UK on 04 December 2009.

Looks like this is going to be (again)visualy quite impressive. If there’s even a third of the magic that Donnie Darko had in this movie, I will love it.
I haven’t seen Southland Tales yet, so for all I know Kelly’s CV is spotless.
This should be interesting and hopefully much better than Southland Tales and S. Darko… but can it match Donnie Darko’s surreal brilliance? Here’s hoping.
