I have a copy of the script for Richard Kelly’s The Box laying around here somewhere, and after seeing the new trailer for the movie (which opens on 10/30), I feel the urge to dig it out. I never read the whole script and I’m deeply intrigued by what we see in the trailer, 80% of which seems to have nothing to do with Richard Matheson’s short story Button, Button or the 1986 Twilight Zone episode based on it (which has a radically different ending from the original story).

There’s a lot to like in this trailer – especially Frank Langella’s missing cheek – and the fact that I’m intrigued to check out the script means that I’m really psyched for this film. Thank God Kelly seems to be coming back from Southland Tales.
