Seen on: November 7, 2009

The players: Director: Richard Kelly, Writer: Richard Kelly, Cast: Cameron Diaz, James Marsden, Frank Langella, James Rebhorn, Holmes Osborne

Facts of interest: Based on the story "Button, Button" by Richard Matheson.

The plot: A couple in financial trouble receive a mysterious box and must make an important decision that will change everything.

Our thoughts: Richard Kelly’s latest big-screen experiment “The Box” is a creepy, chaotic, yet highly entertaining supernatural thriller that caught my attention right away and then refused to let go of me until the very end. Not for a second there did I try to resist, because I totally enjoyed the twisted world the film pulled me into.

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.
