Enchanted hottie AKA Prince Charming, James Marsden makes his way over to the dark side for his new sci-fi thriller, The Box.  He plays Arthur Lewis, whose wife, Norma Lewis (Cameron Diaz), receives a mysterious box with a large button on the top.

The Box actually grants the owner a million dollars once its button is pushed.  Unfortunately, the cost is high; the tradeoff is the death of a person unknown to the couple.

But, the tragedy doesn’t end there according to Marsden, who was intrigued by the levels involved in the plot.

The Box, written and directed by Richard Kelly, of Donnie Darko and Southland Tales fame, opens Friday, November 6th, 2009.
