Film The Box Based on a Richard Matheson short story opens

The Box, a thriller based on a short story by Richard Matheson, opens today Friday November 6th. In The Box, a mysterious man (played by Frank Langella) presents a wooden box with a button to a couple (Cameron Diaz, James Marsden) which, when pressed, does two things: the couple will receive $1 million and someone, somewhere in the world will be killed. The couple has 24 hours to decide whether or not to push the button. Button, Button was first published in Playboy in 1970, and later adapted as an episode for the television series The Twilight Zone in 1986.
