  • Mr. Beaks And Richard Kelly Rummage Through THE BOX!

    11/05/09 When I chatted with Richard Kelly several months ago , I walked away with the impression that THE BOX was going to be a smart, but largely conventional suspense flick based on Richard Matheson's super-short story "Button, Button".  |  Ain't It Cool News
  • Button pressed for money

    11/05/09 If the premise of "The Box" sounds like it would make a dandy half-hour TV show, rest assured that this Richard Matheson story has already served as a most likely more entertaining 1985 episode of the "Twilight Zone" reboot.  |  New York Post - New York NY

    10/30/09 I first met Richard Kelly when he came through Chicago with his Director's Cut of DONNIE DARKO, after which he did an intimate Q&A at a theater in the city known as Facets Cinematheque, not a venue that does a lot of these kind of screenings, but one of the finest venues to see rarely screened work nonetheless.  |  Ain't It Cool News

    10/28/09 Pushing a few of the right buttons and plenty of the wrong ones, "The Box" reps a dicey mainstream effort by enfant terrible Richard Kelly following the doomed exploits of 2006's "Southland Tales."  |  Variety
