I worry that Richard Kelly is a one movie wonder. I couldn't even watch all of Southland Tales. I'll give The Box a try because it's a cool story idea and so far from the pictures posted I like the look as far as hair/makeup/costuming goes... but I dunno.
I want to believe he doesn't just have one movie in him because I loved Donnie Darko so much... #richardkelly
"People may not understand that when they first see it but it plants a seed in your mind. It's something that we actually did with Donnie Darko and a little bit in Southland Tales so hopefully people are kind of connecting the dots."
DUDE. People are connecting dots alright...they're realising you're a one-trick pony, I'm afraid. Both Darko and Southland were obsessed with mournful sinners with gunshot wounds in the eye...space-time portals...quantum artifacts...amnesia...fate...yes, water...
I think Kelly has some imagination, mostly in the visual rather than in the storytelling (please do not refer to Southland as a sprawling epic...it's a jumbled mes of half-baked ideas and no A-B plotline or likeable characters). he should have a future in art design and previsualising. I bet after the Box he'll be "relegated" to sweet-spot production roles on patronising teen-scifi shows for the rest of his span.
Funny, I feel the same way about "The Box" that Kelly does about "S. Darko". I don't have any plans to see it because I like the way the original story exists. #richardkelly
@Illogic: Me too. I was told by a friend that it's an awesome scifi/horror movie that I have to see, and I went in with just that information. And I started watching it, and I was like "meh." But by the end I was like "oh, holy shit!"

The Box looks like it will be a great comedy. #richardkelly

Hell, first time I saw it I knew it was apparently a cult sc-fi movie, but I had no idea about anything else whatsoever.

I'm willing to give this a chance.
