Both of the leading stars, Cameron Diaz and James Marsden, were present during the premiere. The actors who play on-screen couple Norma and Arthur Lewis in the movie made time to pose together as well as with director/producer/writer Richard Kelly for the line of press at the red carpet.

Richard Kelly's 'The Box' Delayed Again

Another shift on the theatrical release schedule for "The Box" has been arranged by Warner Bros. Pictures. Having been set to come out in the U.S. during the Halloween weekend on October 30, the horror movie from "Donnie Darko" director Richard Kelly is now being bumped to a new date on November 6.

Bloody-Disgusting which brought the news to attention doesn't provide any reason on why the studio made the move though. The new date distances "The Box" from Lionsgate's horror thriller "Saw VI", which is set to be released two weeks earlier on October 23. On the November 6 slot, however, it will face off against Disney's "A Christmas Carol (2009)".
