Variety is reporting that Richard
Kelley whom you should all know as the man behind DONNIE DARKO has
cast the leading lady in his next film which will be a horror flick
called THE BOX. Here is what Variety found out:
Media
Rights Capital has set Cameron Diaz to star in "The Box," a
horror film to be directed by "Donnie Darko" helmer Richard
Kelly.
"Kelly
wrote the script based on Richard Matheson's short story "Button,
Button." Production will begin in the fall on the pic, which
will aim for a PG-13 rating. Diaz will play a young woman given a
mysterious box by a stranger. She's told that certain things will
happen depending on which buttons she presses."
This is the same project that Eli Roth
was rumored to be a part of a while back but his involvement is not
confirmed. After HOSTEL II struck out there hasn't been much said
about what Roth may or may not be involved in.
