Arquette to raise money with box stunt

Actor David Arquette is channelling magician David Blaine to raise money for the hungry - he will live in a plastic box in New York City for two days.

The Scream star will eat and sleep in a Plexiglas box above Madison Square Garden's marquee on Tuesday and Wednesday (14-15Jul09) in a bid to raise money for hunger relief charity Feeding America.

Arquette, 37, is hoping to raise £167,000 for the organisation during the stunt.

In 2003, Blaine spent 44 days in a glass box suspended over the Thames river in London.
