The Box *trailer* from the director/writer of Donnie Darko

I am no Cameron Diaz fan, but this movie looks pretty cool if you ask me. It was written by Richard Kelly who wrote and directed Donnie Darko, so it definitely could be good.

Oh and the music WAS used in Saw.

Interesting premiss, but oh no... A guy loses his great job and his family might have to move out of their big house in the nice neighborhood. Of course they'll kill someone for money.

What's wrong with Langella's face?

I think I remeber this premise in a Twilight Zone episode.

I'd push that button so quick and be out the door so fast with that money, all you'd see is a blur!!

Looks okay, I might check it out.

That's interesting--they should probably call it The Button though.

Seems like deja vu story (like an episode of the twilight zone or something) ....but still, the trailer got me interested...And I'd push that button right away too.

Yeah it is from a Twilight Zone episode: "Button, Button". So unless the film changes the twist from that episode or from the original short story (which I doubt) then I'll already know what happens at the end. I'll still watch it though. On TV.

The Box is based off the short story Button, Button by Richard Matheson (I Am Legend), it was also a Twilight Zone episode from the mid 80's.

Edit: Oops! Devil 666 beat me to it!

This movie also seems somewhat similar to Stephen King's Needful Things, which I just finished reading. I think Needful Things would make a good mini-series (I know that there is a movie).

It's cool Snoopy.. can never have too much info. That Twilight Zone episode sucked too. Really cheesy acting.

It's not. Trust me.

The accents...are not convincing.

That's putting it mildly.

Just saw it, not as bad as I thought it would be. It felt very much like a Twilight Zone episode...I guess for good reason. The story goes all over the place but the concept is still cool. 6/10

I'd have no problem pushing that button. People die like every second, anyway.

It's not quite as simple as that though. There's consequences.

I know, but if it was, I surely would slap that button and ask for me monies.

You didn't read the spoilers, huh?

EDIT: and those would be the spoilers in the other thread. Guess you weren't the only one either.
