The Box trailer- Richard Kelly's new film

[Dark Donnie]

The ending is different I believe, according to Wiki at least...

 

[Rocker22]

Well I'm pretty sure he is basing it off the book and not the show still.

Wow, well I have been planning on calling Kelly about the Darko sequel so I will ask him about this too.

Richard Kelly Updates The Box


Richard Kelly has posted a new update on his blog, and gave a bunch of updates on his new film The Box:

• WB is releasing the film on October 30, 2009. The release date has been shuffling around a bit, but this is common with studios, and everyone feels like this is the best date for the film
• The film is completely finished. Principal photography was completed in March 2008, and it was officially delivered to WB right before Christmas 2008. A March 2009 release was briefly considered, but a Fall 2009 release was always a better fit.
• We shot in Massachusetts and Virginia. The film takes place predominantly in Virginia, 1976.
• The running time is 1 hour 55 minutes long including end credits.
• The film was digitally photographed using the Panavision Genesis camera. In my audio commentary on Tony Scott’s Domino, I mentioned that I would never shoot a 1970s period piece using a digital camera. My position on this changed when I saw David Fincher’s extraordinary Zodiac. It can be done.
• There is more than 300 visual effects shots, which required eight months of post-production. The digital work-flow of the Genesis was essential to completing these visual effects properly.
• Win Butler, Regine Chassagne (of Arcade Fire) and Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy, frequent collaborator with Arcade Fire) recorded more than 80 minutes of score for the film.
• Here is a list of artists whose songs appear in the film: GRATEFUL DEAD, DEREK & THE DOMINOS, WILSON PICKETT, THE MARSHALL TUCKER BAND, SCOTT WALKER
• The official website for the film is www.thebox-movie.com - it will unveil sometime this summer.
• This is my most personal film to date, and I’m very proud of how it turned out.

Richard Kelly's (Donnie Darko)The Box finally has a trailer.

http://www.firstshowing.net/2009/06/24/must-watch-first-trailer-for-richard-kellys-the-box/

While I don't really see anything special from the trailer, I'm a big fan of Donnie Darko and I'll still see it. Any thoughts?

Hopefully its a return to Donnie Darko quality.
Southland Tales was pretty awful.

 

[deathshead2]

Looks as bad as his other movies. I wish the film business was like baseball, so by the third strike he'd go away.

 

[Gilpesh]

Holy crap. I should have knocked on wood when I said that it couldn't get much worse than Southland Tales.

 

[FamilyGuy827]

From what i've heard, the script is actually very good... but gets fairly weird.

And Kelly decided to use digital cameras for The Box, which i'm not really a fan of.

 

[DarkKnight88]

It's based off of Richard Matheson's short story "Button, Button" which itself was very creepy and then made into a Twilight Zone episode in the 80's...

He should have Pinhead come out of the box and rape someone's soul.

[bullets]

yes he should and then everyone goes to the train station to sing a musical number.

 

[sithgoblin]

Oh wow, some of those shots look really digital. In a bad way. Like when Marsden is in the car at night.

 

[bullets]

It looks interesting . Southland Tales had a good trailer though.

 

[enterthemadness]

I'm a fan of film, not digital, but the trailer looked sharp and interesting. And what really got my attention...for all the wrong reasons...was WB saying '**** You' to Saw, and using the SAW THEME towards the end of the trailer.

 

[xwolverine2]

is this a remake? cause i swear ive seen something extremely similar to this before..

It's not a remake of a movie but yes you have seen it before. I have it, it's an episode of the first season of The Twilight Zone or Outer Limits. I have both, can't remember which one exactly but yes, it's not original at all. Shame on Richard Kelly. I have no interest in this movie as a result. I'm sure it'll end the same unsatisfying way the episode did. BLEH!

Frankly...I think the premise is a cliché. This doesn't look like anything special.
