Warner Brothers has just officially released the first trailer for Richard Kelly’s The Box. The film stars Cameron Diaz, Frank Langella, and James Mardsen. The story revolves around a struggling couple, played by Cameron Diaz and James Mardsen, in need of money who’s problems may be solved when a mysterious box is left on their door step. After being visited one day by a mysterious stranger, Frank Langella, he offers them a dangerous opportunity. If one of them pushes the button on the box an unknown stranger will die while they will receive a million dollars. The Box is set to open up on October 31st, 2009.
While I am still very excited to see this and I think this trailer features some fantastic imagery, I do have some problems with it. Cameron Diaz’s accent sounds really odd and annoying, so that will probably take some time to get used to. The trailer also seems to be cut exactly like the trailer for Valkyrie, it features the same song towards the end and also uses the same dramatic cutting style. This still is a good trailer for what looks to be like Kelly’s come back, which hopefully is the case.
What do you think of this trailer? Are you still excited for The Box?
