After the critical and public success of his First Feature Donnie Darko, he savored failure with his second film Southland Tales, now director Richard Kelly with his film "The Box" hopes to find success again.
La caja It is based on a short story by Richard Matheson.
What if someone gave you a box with a button that, when you pressed it, would appear a million dollars but, simultaneously, took the life of someone you do not know? Would you do it? And what would the consecuences be?
This is the dilemma that a young married couple (Cameron Díaz and James Marsden) will experience when one night they receive a visit from a strange man who hands them a box with a button. At first it doesn't even occur to them to press the button on the box but, little by little, they will be confronted by money and morality, unleashing a series of events.
This story could also be seen on television in a chapter of The Twilight Zone.
La caja It is one of the most powerful premieres of this weekend together with the Spanish film Cell 211.
