Poster: Richard Kelly's The Box

17 July 2009 12:02 PM, PDT | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news

Aside from the gossip and hilarious one-liners you can occasionally catch, following famous people on Twitter has one distinct advantage: sometimes, you really do here it there first. I recently started following Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly, and today he debuted on his feed the final poster for The Box, his new thriller starring Cameron Diaz, James Marsden and Frank Langella. In the film Diaz and Marsden play a couple who are mysteriously given a box that contains a button; if you push the button, you get a million dollars, but someone in the world you don't know will die. Frank Langella is on hand to encourage them to push the button and look creepy in the process. The movie comes out in October just in time for Halloween, and there will be plenty of movie fans with their fingers crossed that this can be Kelly's comeback after the failure

Trailer for Richard Kelly’s The Box

25 June 2009 10:18 AM, PDT | From TwitchFilm.net | See recent Twitch news

Way back in November 2008, we mentioned that Richard Kelly‘s follow up film to Southland Tales (I film I quite like thank you very much - yet I’ll acknowledge I am in the minority), a science fiction thriller titled The Box was done shooting, but would not be released until November 2009.  It seems that things are on schedule towards that date, with the release of the first trailer for the film.  And from watching the trailer, Kelly has reigned in the excesses seen in Southland Tales, but still, down under the multiplex genre-surface is the pop-literary kernels displayed in his films to date:  Faust’s bargain with a twist.  I wonder if this will capture the humanity and fragility and confusion on display in Donnie Darko, or if it will be a little easier to digest.  Either way, I remain interested, as Richard Matheson adaptations go, chances of improving

The Box Trailer: Richard Kelly Does a Mean Stanley Kubrick Impression

25 June 2009 8:40 AM, PDT | From Movieline | See recent Movieline news

The first trailer for The Box debuted late Wednesday, featuring Cameron Diaz, James Marsden and Frank Langella in all their '70s-era period splendor. Another nod to the old days might be found in director Richard Kelly's liberal use of just about every shot, technique and theme he could borrow from The Shining. But in a good way! Sort of.

Do You Like To Look At James Marsden?

.

Ja from Mnpp here, asking y'all to raise your hand if the answer to that is yes (And to raise both if it's hell yes and preferably while he's in the nude or in the act of becoming in the nude). What about Cameron Diaz? I assume there will be slightly fewer hands if I judge the crowd I speak to correctly, so let's go back to James Marsden.

See, the trailer for Richard Kelly's The Box - an adaptation of the Richard Matheson short story titled "Button Button" - which has been looooooong awaited by me (I figured out last week that the first time I posted on this movie was in the Summer of 2006!) and other Kelly fans is finally online today, and there is lots of lovely Marsden to behold. Watch it here. No, he's not nude or in the act of becoming nude. Sad face.

First Trailer for Richard Kelly's The Box

25 June 2009 4:22 AM, PDT | From Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news

The Box, adapted from a short story and Twilight Zone episode, is a science fiction period piece with a moral dilemma at its center. A financially strapped couple (Cameron Diaz and James Marsden) receives a mysterious box from a stranger. In it is a button. Push it and all their financial problems are solved, but someone they don't know dies. A timely enough dilemma given the global financial crisis, but Richard Kelly has set his adaptation in the 70s in homage to the story's roots and modeled the couple on his own parents. So in a sense, the movie allows him to return to his childhood.

In the trailer we get an introduction to his vision of 1976 suburbia (scary wallpaper, regional accents) and some hints of how he has expanded the original story line. There appears to be some sort of corporate conspiracy centered around the strange disfigured man (Frank Langella

First peek inside The Box

25 June 2009 2:13 AM, PDT | From Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news

The first trailer for The Box has been released by Warner Bros. This is director Richard Kelly's third movie after Donnie Darko and Southland Tales, and like those earlier films, The Box features elements of science fiction, drama and horror. Based on the Richard Matheson short story "Button, Button", Kelly expanded the scope of the original tale and included elements taken from his childhood growing up in 1970s Texas.

The movie stars Cameron Diaz (My Sister's Keeper) and James Marsden (the X-Men trilogy) as Norma and Arthur Lewis, a young couple trying to keep their family economically afloat but struggling to pay the bills. One day a mysterious package arrives on the Lewis' doorstep containing a wooden box with a button affixed to it. When a strange man (Frank Langella) comes calling the next day he tells the couple that if they press the button two things will happen:

Trailer For The Box Online

24 June 2009 11:39 PM, PDT | From EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news

Richard Kelly Makes Straight Thriller Shock! The Box, adapted from a short story by Richard Matheson (I Am Legend, Duel) stars James Marsden and Cameron Diaz. Check out the super-tense new trailer here. Isn't that the theme from Saw?The writer-director of the awesome-as-it's-supposed-to-be Donnie Darko, and the what-the-hell-is-it-supposed-to-be Southland Tales (he also wrote the screenplay for Domino) has clearly had a career re-think following Southland's production problems and box office disappearance. If this trailer is anything to go by, the self-indulgence has been truly reigned in, leaving something leaner and more focused in its place.Which is not to say it doesn't look as if there are some nicely bizarro touches in there. We like the Father Christmas / train wreck snippet particularly, although we're less convinced by the CGI splodge on Frank Langella's face.The story was adapted once before, in 1986, as a Twilight Zone episode.

New Stills Out of The Box

24 June 2009 11:32 PM, PDT | From www.canmag.com | See recent CanMag news

As expected, The Box looks crazy. If you think it looks too crazy for your tastes, don't write it off just yet. This film is from Richard Kelly, the same dude who gave us Donnie Darko. Though Southland Tales didn't play out as hoped by Kelly-ites around the globe, he's due to score.

The Box Trailer

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.

Richard Kelly’s The Box Trailer

24 June 2009 11:25 PM, PDT | From FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news

Regardless of whether or not you thought Donnie Darko was a masterpiece, there doesn't seem to be a heck of a lot of debate over Richard Kelly's Southland Tales. You can admire the ambition and some of the ideas, but let's face it... the movie was just a mess. A few years later, Kelly has regrouped with what appears to be a much simpler film, based on a short story by the late Richard Matheson (I Am Legend). The story, which was previously adapted as an episode of The Twilight Zone, centers on a couple (James Marsden and Cameron Diaz) who receive a mysterious box on their doorstep. They are told (by Frank Langella, no less) that if they press a button on the box, they will become rich... the catch is that a stranger, somewhere, will also die. This seems like a morality tale that plays on some

Trailer for Richard Kelly's 'The Box' arrives

24 June 2009 11:19 PM, PDT | From screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news

As a Richard Kelly fan, I'm quite excited about his upcoming thriller "The Box," which stars Cameron Diaz, James Marsden and Frank Langella, and which opens in theaters Oct. 30, 2009.

A first trailer for the film has just debuted online, and you can check it out below. The footage hasn't quite won me over yet, but I admit I am somewhat intrigued to find out what really goes down in the thriller.

In the film, Norma and Arthur Lewis (Cameron Diaz and James Marsden), a suburban couple with a young child, receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million with the press of a button.

Intrigued as well? Then check out the trailer and share your thoughts. Kelly also directed "Donnie Darko" and "Southland Tales," two flicks I really enjoyed.
