Richard Kelly: "It is based on a very obscure Richard Matheson story that was never published but was ultimately made into a "Twilight Zone"episode. In the early 80’s when a new version of "The Twilight Zone"aired on CBS, the producers went back to a lot of the original writers like Matheson, Arthur C. Clarke [and] a lot of other big writers. Even Harlan Ellison, I think, wrote an episode. It was a really interesting kind of revival of the show, with new material. I optioned one of the episodes that Matheson wrote. The episode was called "Button, Button"and the screenplay that I’m working on with Eli, we’ve retitled it 'The Box'. It’s basically a story that I’ve been obsessed with since I saw it when I was probably 11 years old or something."
