This November, get ready to watch The Box online. Cameron Diaz and James Marsden play Norma and Arthur Lewis and the premise of this movie is set in the suburban Virginia of the 70's.

Norma Lewis and Arthur Lewis are a regular couple, strapped for money, and are trying to figure a way out of their financial predicament. One day, somebody leaves their family of three a gift in the form of a basic wooden box that holds deadly and permanent consequences. Now, this isn't as Pandora's Box as it sounds. This box actually holds nothing but a single button and a stranger lets them know that a simple press of that button promises to give its owner a million dollars. However, if this button is pressed, somebody in the world - another human being - will die. Norma and Arthur, who are strapped for money, only have 24 hours to keep this box and make their final decision - a morally startling predicament that will make them, and their viewers, face humanity's true nature.

Although set in Richmond, Virginia, the majority of the film was actually shot in Boston, Massachusetts and other localities near the vicinity, such as the campus of Milton Academy. A huge indoor set was also built inside a North Andover building to look like a NASA laboratory. The crew of production even travelled to NASA's Research Center in Virginia to shoot several of the film's scenes since Kelly's father worked there in the 70s. A lot of extras were used in various scenes and most of the cars were from the 60s and 70s period, making the setting much more realistic as you watch The Box online.

Written and directed by Richard Kelly, most well-known for writing and directing equally mind-boggling Donnie Darko in 2001, this story line was taken from Richard Matheson's short story "Button, Button", which was also turned into an episode of Twilight Zone in 1986. Kelly had hoped to create a film that was commercial and suspenseful, while holding on to his artistic integrity. Decide for yourself whether he has accomplished this, as you watch The Box online. This movie was already shown at the Lund International Fantastic Film Festival months ago to surprisingly great reviews and now you can watch The Box online for yourself.
