Diaz to star in Kelly's horror film.
by IGN Staff


US, June 28, 2007 - Cameron Diaz has signed on to star in The Box, a horror movie to be directed by Richard Kelly for Media Rights Capital. Filming on the $30+ million project begins this fall.

Variety reports that the pic is aiming for a PG-13 rating. Kelly penned the screenplay adaptation of Richard Matheson's short story Button, Button.

The trade says "the film casts Diaz as a young woman who is given a mysterious box by a stranger. She's told that certain things will happen depending on which buttons she presses."

"My hope is to make a film that is incredibly suspenseful and broadly commercial, while still retaining my artistic sensibility," Kelly informed Variety. "I am especially excited to be working with Cameron Diaz, an actress I have always admired."

Isn't this the Donnie Darko guy ? his last movie still hasn't seen the light of day

Damn, how is Richard Kelly directing a horror film when he hasn't completed Southland Tales? He's already taken 3874769430 years on it, just complete the f***ing thing. That, in my eyes, is very sloppy and shows poor motive.

Btw, this is a PG-13 horror film.
It's already destined to fail.

I hear Southland Tale sis finally finished. I read that the cut shown at Cannes was severly underwhelming due mostly to bad SFX. Apparently he went overbudget while filming. I read he was given $500,000. more in order to fix the SFX which he has

Da f***.............



When I read the title I clicked it expecting some news about James Cameron.

^I thought the same thing.

Sounds interesting. I really want to see what this box looks like.

In my screenwriting class we watched the episode of the 80s Twilight Zone based on that short.

I can't believe they're doing a whole movie of it. I wasn't impressed.

According to the Reelz Channel, Seann William Scott (Stifler of the American Pie series) is in talks to star in The Box.

Richard Kelly's post-Southland Tales effort is based on the Richard Matheson tale "Button, Button." Cameron Diaz is attached as the film's leading lady.

Says Scott of Kelly's adapation, "Interesting and weird. It's gonna be a movie that people either love or hate. And I kinda like those films."

This part so makes me think of Hellraiser.

[Hunter Rider]

^^^Quality casting, hopefully he can get this film released easier than his latest one.

 

[black_dust]

Damit thought this was James Cameron! YOU LIED!!

Da f***.............

same here, but now that i find out it's about Cameron Diaz...i have absolutely no interest in it anymo.

 

[KenK]

aiming for pg-13 . boooo

Given the subject matter of the story, it doesn't need to be rated any higher than that. It's not meant be filled with sex and/or gore. It's more of a psychological thriller.

 

[Figs]

This part so makes me think of Hellraiser.

Same thing I was thinking when I read that too.t:

[Hunter Rider]

Either did I

I read theres a Twilight Ep that is very similar to the story, I might have to check YT for it.

 

[Rocker22]

It is not based on the Twilight Ep. though. It is based of a book called Button Button. I am really looking forward to this from Kelly. Wish he had filmed more of it down here.

Actually the Twilight Episode is called Button Button, which is based of the short story by Richard Matheson......

 

[Rocker22]

It is one giant circle lol! But how close is the episode to the book?
