"The Butterfly Effect" Gets The Boot

Film Engine and Benderspink are set to produce a reboot of the great 2004 sci-fi film "The Butterfly Effect" says Variety.


The story followed Ashton Kutcher as a college student who discovers that he can travel back in time--using his consciemce to inhabit his younger self. He uses the ability to change several horrific childhood traumas. In doing so, there are unintended consequences that occur in the present that end ends up harming people he cares about.

Made for just $13 million, the movie made $96 million at the box-office and spawned two sub-par direct-to-disc sequels in 2006 and 2009

The original film's writer-director Eric Bress will write the new script, but no director is attached.

The original film's producers A.J. Dix, Anthony Rhulen, Chris Bender and Jc Spink are back to produce.

If you have never seen the original pic--Watch it--Kutcher gives an effective performance that proves the one time Kelso of That '70s Show can act. It's his best screen role to date
