Cameron Diaz Climbs Into Richard Kelly's "Box"
Wondering what's next for "Donnie Darko" director Richard Kelly? (I mean besides that "Southland Tales" flick that's been sitting on a shelf somewhere...)
It's a project he's been attached to for quite some time now, but it looks like the arrival of leading lady Cameron Diaz has the ball rolling on Richard Kelly's "The Box." Based on a story by genre master Richard Matheson, the story's about ... well, it's about a woman who gains possession of a mysterious box. If you want to know more, you'll just have to read the story called "Button, Button." (I highly recommend it.)
The production company is aiming for a PG-13 rating on this one, but the source material's not all that "adult," so the rating shouldn't be much of a hindrance. For his part, Mr. Kelly says ""My hope is to make a film that is incredibly suspenseful and broadly commercial, while still retaining my artistic sensibility." Good luck, Rich!
Horror fans may be pleased to learn that Eli Roth has been collaborating on the screenplay with Kelly.

on Jun 29 2007 07:58 AM well that sounds nice...and maybe just maybe we'll get to see Southland tales someday. I mean okay maybe it is as weird a movie as it sounds so the studios don't know what to do with it but come on you made the same stupid mistake with Donnie "freaking amazing movie" darko, so hurry up and give us at least a limited realeas at the art house!

on Jun 29 2007 12:16 PM [b]I did not know Richard had a ''box''...[/b] Damn transgendered directors, they're everywhere these days. Somebody keep David Yates off the little children especially Grint, he's traumatised. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 29 2007 01:43 PM Well, if Eli Roth is involved in any way this is sure to suck. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 29 2007 03:04 PM In reply to this comment (#871782) I'm not so sure if I would want to climb in her box now. Maybe 5 years ago. Not so much now. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 29 2007 06:51 PM In reply to this comment (#871783) Yes, it's the same story. Kelly is going to have to expand on it though to make it last an entire film. Perhaps they should say, "inspired by" instead of "based on." (Reply to this) |
