Cameron Diaz has entered "The Box," a horror thriller set for a November start in Virginia.

The story focuses on an unhappy married couple who receive a small wooden box on their doorstep. At the push of a button, the box brings its bearer instant wealth but also instantly kills someone the bearer doesn't know.

Richard Kelly ("Donnie Darko") is directing from his adaptation of a Richard Matheson short story, "Button, Button," that was the basis of a well-remembered "Twilight Zone" episode from the 1980s.

The independently financed movie will be in the $30 million dollar range.

Diaz reprised the voice of Princess Fiona for "Shrek the Third" and last appeared on the big screen in "The Holiday."
