alright so like, 2 months ago, i watched this really good short film called "Black Button".
it was released in 2007 and is about a man confronted with a scenario where he has the choice of whether or not to push a button. if he pushes it, he gets 1 million dollars, but one person, somewhere in the world, will die. if he doesn't push it, he gets nothing.
here's "Black Button"
AND THEN
this new movie is coming out called "the box", featuring, of all people, cameron diaz and other "good" actors, which features nearly the exact same plot!
them faced with the choice of pushing a button, killing a person and getting money, or getting nothing
here it is:

sparknotes: movie("the box") is coming out which nearly exactly mirrors the plot and details of a short film ("black button"). how does this fly?
