New Images From “The Box”

— Posted by John Campea

I’ve been really interested in the new Frank Langella/Cameron Diaz flick “The Box” ever since I first saw the trailer. I dig movies that pose interesting moral dilemmas to the audience and the premies of this one seems to fit the bill.

From what I can gather, Diaz and her husband (who have a kid) are in some financial trouble when Frank Langella shows up with a box that has nothing but a button in it. He tells them that if they press the button, they will instantly get $1 million dollars… but the catch is that someone, somewhere in the world…. a person they don’t know…. will DIE. What do you do hot shot?

Anyway, the trailer can be seen here… but the good folks over at i09 have also put some new stills of the movie online. 26 of them to be exact. You can take a look at them here.

    Few cool pics. I didn’t realise til just now that Frank Langella (Cyclops) was in this.

    I loved Donnie Darko, so naturally I am curious about The Box. But I’m also wondering if a story like this can be stretched out to 90mins and be good all the way threw.

    I remember this from a tv episode of something. The movie probably fills out a lot more of the
    story… but the person who dies is the last person who had pressed the button.
    Anyone else remember this tv episode??

    This is from an old 80s “twighlight” zone episode (if it wasnt TZ then it was one similar in nature) exact same thing.

    As I said before, James Marsden is the most underrated actor of hollywood. Even John wrote:
    ‘new Frank Langella/Cameron Diaz flick’
    “Diaz and her husband”.- See what I mean. He actually nailed every role he was in and doesn’t even get recognised.

    And I think Cameron Diaz is a horrible pick.

    I swore in the original trailer Fank didn’t have a poor man’s CG two-face style hack job, but now in the TV spot I saw the other night half his face is gone. Does anyone remember if he had all his face in the first trailer or was it chopped off like it is now???

      I only saw the trailer a month or two ago, so I don’t know if it got worse or not. But his face was messed up. You couldn’t see it in every shot. Maybe you blinked.

        That is very possible.
