Cameron Diaz to star in film set at NASA Langley
HAMPTON, Va. (AP) - A science fiction film starring Cameron Diaz
will film scenes in January at NASA Langley Research Center.
"The Box" is directed by Richard Kelly, who grew up nearby in
Newport News and in Richmond's suburbs. The film is based on a
short story by Richard Matheson.
Kelly is best known for writing and directing "Donnie Darko" in
2001, which was filmed in California but set in Virginia.
In the 1970s Kelly's father Lane worked as an engineer at
Langley, helping develop the camera for the Mars Viking program
that would take the first close-up pictures of the Martian
surface.
Producers plan on shooting four to six days at Langley in late
January, Langley spokesman Chris Rink said.
