Quote
"...I would also say that, to me, creatively, it’s always more interesting to do something completely different which is why I’m doing this dark, psychological thriller starting in a couple of weeks...It’s a movie called ‘The Box’ that Richard Kelly is directing Cameron Diaz and I. We play a married couple. It’s based on a short story that was turned into a ‘Twilight Zone’ episode about a couple that receive this strange box from this very odd man with a button in the middle."Collider: James Marsden Interview (November 18, 2007)
