The French poster for Richard Kelly’s The Box has been released. It’s good to know the French have just as much interest in James Marsden’s face as I do:

Richard Kelly is best known for his work on the cult film Donnie Darko, and the lesser-loved Southland Tales. His latest film, The Box, is based on the short story, “Button, Button” by Richard Matheson, which was also turned into an episode of The Twilight Zone.

Kelly’s version centers on 70s couple Norma and Arthur Lewis, who are greeted by a stranger (Frank Langella) offering them a magical box. If they press the button inside the box, they will receive a rather large sum of money; however, someone they don’t know, somewhere in the world, will die.

Here’s the US poster for comparison:

The Box hits theaters on November 6th. Keep your eyes glued to Brutal As Hell for the review by yours truly.
