James Marsden and Cameron Diaz in 'The Box'

Director Richard Kelly’s (Donnie Darko / Southland Tales) new sci-fi film The Box tells the story of Norma (Cameron Diaz), Arthur Lewis (James Marsden) and their young child who receive a simple wooden box (with a button) as a gift from a mysterious stranger (Frank Langella). The stranger tells them that the box will magically bestow them one million dollars if they press the button, but that the consequences of doing so will be the death of another person elsewhere whom they don’t know. The movie follows the consequences as they face and act upon their moral dilemma.

This article contains five new images from the film (four more after the jump) and although these particular images might be a tad boring make no mistake, The Box is more of a sci-fi film than you might think (to say any more would ruin it).
