Eli Roth Steps Into "Box"

Camelot Pictures will finance and produce horror pic "The Box," which will be directed by "Cabin Fever" helmer Eli Roth. Roth and Richard Kelly ("Donnie Darko") adapted the screenplay from the Richard Matheson short story "Button, Button," which also served as the basis of a 1986 episode of "The Twilight Zone" that aired on CBS.

"The Box" revolves around an unhappy married couple who receive a small wooden box on their doorstep. At the push of a button, the box brings its bearer instant wealth -- and instantly kills someone the bearer doesn't know.
