Based on the classic short story, “Button, Button” by Richard Matheson, writer/director Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko) brings us The Box, which asks the question, what would you be willing to sacrifice for a million dollars? Between this and The Fourth Kind, this weekend’s box office should empty the pockets of sci-fi fans nation wide.
Check out the review below…
Hello ScreenCrave readers! It has been a while since we’ve rounded up the movies that will be released this week, so here you go! This week, the latest version of Charles Dickens’ classic tale, A Christmas Carol starring Jim Carrey, Colin Firth, and Gary Oldman will hit theaters. The animation in this movie is incredible, haunting, and a little creepy all at the same time. Unfortunately, the reviews for it have been a little mixed. On another note, The Men Who Stare at Goats is based on the Jon Ronson novel about a top-secret, psychic unit in the U.S. military, and stars George Clooney, Kevin Spacey, and Ewan McGregor. For all you horror movie-lovers out there, the latest film by Milla Jovovich entitled The Fourth Kind, will be released and it’s about alien abductions in Alaska. It isn’t going to be an Oscar-worthy film, but it might still be entertaining.

Over at Empire they’ve premiered the international teaser poster for Richard Kelly’s upcoming thriller, The Box. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on November 9th in the U.S., and December 4th in the U.K. The Box stars Cameron Diaz, James Marsden, and Oscar nominee Frank Langella as the man without a face. Just kidding, that’s not his character’s name, even though it would be fitting.
Take a look at the latest poster…
I recently sat down with the stars of Richard Kelly’s upcoming thriller, The Box. Cameron Diaz and James Marsden made the trip down to San Diego’s Comic-Con to give the fans and the press some info about their latest film. I learned a lot about their characters, the story, but most importantly I tried to get some dirt on Diaz starring in the Green Hornet! You can see if I was successful when you read my interview after the jump.
12:47: The moderator thanks the cast and producers for coming out, and the the actors take a few photo ops. As usual Robert LOVES the camera, but not in an arrogant way. He’s just a ham! Check out the photos after the jump below!
12:43: Did you pull from the books for the movie?: “The setting is from the books, but the actual narrative is unique to the movie. Lionel came up with it to sell it to the studios. The idea comes from the books and there is stuff he referred to in the books.”
12:40: What did you find the most challenging about your roles?: Downey: “This is how sick I am, I don’t think anything can be too challenging. I have an illness of too much confidence. The challenging thing was the controlled chaos of the set. It was British so it was a very civilized chaos.”
A couple of new posters have been released for the upcoming thriller The Box, and the comic based Kick-Ass. The Box stars Cameron Diaz, James Marsden and Oscar nominee Frank Langella. The story centers on a married couple who receive a mysterious wooden box that can change their lives for the better while ending the life of someone else. Kick-Ass is a comic book adaptation about a teenage boy who goes from a student by day to vigilante at night. It stars Aaron Johnson, Nicolas Cage, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

Are you ready for THE BOX! It might not sound scary at first, but don’t worry, it is. From Richard Kelly, the writer and director of Donnie Darko, comes another eerie film about a couple put in an extraordinary circumstance. The film stars Cameron Diaz and James Marsden as a normal suburban husband and wife who get a visit from a man (Frank Langella) who gives them a wooden box.

I’m sure we’d all like to know upfront who’s going to be present at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, but unfortunately it doesn’t happen that way. Usually details roll out little by little months before the annual event takes place. So far the biggest news came from the announcement a while back that New Moon would have a panel, and now over at /Film they’ve found some more exhibition goodies to share.
