Cameron Diaz and X-Men hunk James Marsden are to play husband and wife in a new horror movie. The pair will portray an unhappily married couple who have to tackle dark forces in The Box.

The film is an adaptation of a short story that was first published in a 1970 issue of Playboy magazine.

It's not the first time the project has been filmed - author Richard Matheson adapted the story for an episode of The Twilight Zone in the 1980s, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
