""Hell is other people." -'No Exit' By: Jean-Paul Sartre When I discovered that "The Box" was simply an elongated take on a "Twilight Zone" episode, which was, in turn, based on a short story entitled "Button, button," I wondered how many different ideas would be thrown around in this film. Anytime something that starts so small gets beefed up over the years and worked on by so many different hands, you can't help but worry that the final product will be convoluted and overly complicated due to taking on the various incarnations of the work. My fears were only heightened when I learned that the film was written and directed by Richard Kelly (of Donnie Darko fame).

This is probably not worth getting upset about. I’m not even sure if cutting off a teenage audience will really hurt Lucy’s theatrical success––Michelle Williams’ adolescent fan base has had a good five years to come of age since Dawson’s Creek, although one does imagine that there are a lot of teenage girls following the actresses seemingly unwanted appearances in the tabloids. But at least, it’s testament to that old chestnut about how Hollywood productio "
