What if someone gave you a box containing a button that, if pushed, would bring you a million dollars...but simultaneously take the life of someone you don't know? Would you do it? And what would be the consequences? The year is 1976. Norma Lewis is a teacher at a private high school and her husband, Arthur, is an engineer working at NASA. They are, by all accounts, an average couple living a normal life in the suburbs with their young son...until a mysterious man with a horribly disfigured face appears on their doorstep and presents Norma with a life-altering proposition: the box. With only 24 hours to make their choice, Norma and Arthur face an impossible moral dilemma. What they don't realize is that no matter what they decide, terrifying consequences will have already been set in motion. They soon discover that the ramifications of this decision are beyond their control and extend far beyond their own fortune and fate.

November 6, 2009: The Box prob solved:
Did you see the offer proposed in Richard Kelly's new thriller THE BOX and sort of wonder what was the big dilemma?
While that certainly says something about your moral fiber, at least you weren't the only one. Witness "The Button":...
October 28, 2009: New Box poster:
I'm still undecided as to if Richard Kelly is going to be able to pull in a mainstream audience with his Salvador Dali style of filmmaking, but if he ever had a chance, I suppose it would be with THE BOX .
Empire just debuted this new poster for the film...
July 28, 2009: CON: Warner Bros INTs:
Warner Brothers had a whole lot to offer this year. From the kids flick by Robert Rodriquez, SHORTS to a trippy little thriller from Richard Kelly called THE BOX. In between, there was WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, THE BOOK OF ELI, SHERLOCK HOLMES, JONAH HEX...

April 7, 2009: The Box poster:
Director Richard Kelly is something of an enigma. His off-beat post-proto-meta flick DONNIE DARKO wasn't the most accessible of films and tanked at the box office, but has since reached cult status of the highest order. SOUTHLAND TALES although ambitious, never...

February 27, 2008: Check out Diaz's Box!:
Will the Cameron Diaz/BOX jokes ever get old? Me thinks not. It's perhaps a little "Michael Scott" but cut me some slack. I'm a man-child with an immature sense of humor. In any event, USA Today premiered seven new stills from Diaz's upcoming horror film THE...
February 17, 2008: Cameron Diaz's box:
If Richard Kelly wants to work in this town again, he’s got some proving-himself to do. A hit film will only take you so far. Just ask Michael Cimino. He’s lucky the critical and financial disaster that was THE SOUTHLAND TALES didn’t completely derail his...
November 2, 2007: Marsden in Diaz's box:
Damn you, James Marsden! Why is it that you get to act alongside Cameron Diaz in Richard Kelly’s THE BOX, and I don’t? You’re probably going to waste your opportunity by not even trying to mack her! I guarantee that if I were co-starring as Cameron Diaz’s...

you haven't decided whether or not you're a fan of CABIN FEVER director Eli Roth
yet, I must encourage you to stop whatever it is you're doing and go read
