The Box

witchhunt · Post by **witchhunt** » Thu Aug 13, 2009 2:40 pm

There's a movie called "The Box" in theaters in Nov. In the film a simple wooden box promises to deliver its owner $1 million with the press of a button. However, pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world. Would you press the button?

Tough one... Are there any other catches other than someone dies?

Edit: just watched the trailer.... Cameron Diaz has had WAY too much crap done to her face.. I don't know if I could watch that movie just because her face looks too... fake... and would be too distracting... sad...

That's all the article said. I guess it could be one of your loved ones, though.

Very interesting premise...it sort of reminds me of the Prisoner's Dilemma exercise.

...and the boat scene from The Dark Knight.

Reminds me of "The Monkey Paw" by W. W. Jacobs, at least from the
description above. Is interesting...and an interesting quandry...

Don't think I WOULD....buuuuutttt.....

If I could pick about 15 people to be excluded from the possibility, I think I'd go for it.

Only $1 Mil? Maybe if this movie were made in 1950.

If it was guaranteed to be Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi; I would push that button for a Klondike bar ...

Just watched the trailer...looks really strange...I will probably see it, although, Rob is right, Cameron Diaz has had alot of face work done. Ewww.
