In a flap again

Bloody Ashton Kutcher has been using his special headachey time-travel ability to warp back in time and change the future so we all forget that the first Butterfly Effect wasn’t very good. At all.

Either that or, the fact that it was a surprising success on DVD. But it’s not every film that Total Film describes as “The Showgirls of psycho-thrillers” that goes on to not only generate a sequel, but actually merits a TV spin-off too.

First things first. The Ashton-free sequel will star Erica Durrance and Eric Lively in the film, to be produced again by New Line. In fact, none of the original cast, which included Amy Smart and Ethan Suplee, will return. This time around we’ll again follow a character who learns that changing their past events can have unforeseen consequences in the present. John Leonetti is calling the shots, from a script by Michael Weiss.
