Do not open until 2009
Warner Bros. has marked March 20, 2009 as a release date for Richard Kelly’s The Box, a feature adaptation of the Richard Matheson story “Button, Button.” Starring Cameron Diaz, Frank Langella and James Marsden, Kelly’s film tells of Norma and Arthur Lewis who 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.
