Tying in with the 6 November release of Richard Kelly’s The Box (based on Richard Matheson‘s story “Button, Button”), Tor Books is publishing a new tie-in edition of Matheson’s collection The Box.
According to Publishers Weekly, the story on which the movie is based asks the question “What if you were told that you could make a fortune just by pushing a button on a box? But pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world… someone you don’t know. Would you still push the button?” The film stars Cameron Diaz, Gillian Jacobs, James Marsden, and Frank Langella.
