Anybody else hear about this movie. Its scheduled for release in August of next year, around the same time Alien vs Predator comes out. Its based a a Ray Bradbury story of people from the future who travel back in time to hunt dinosaurs. Yet, some stupid soul kills a butterfly, wich bigins a chain raection that threatens to eventually replace they're future world with dinosaurs. So we don't have to go a full year with no dinosaur movies. 2005 we're gonna have both Jurassic Park 4 & King Kong. Also as a side note, They are gonna be releasing the original Raymond Burr-less Godzilla to theaters next summer.

I read Bradbury's story when it was still rather fresh, and saw the adaptation on his TV series when it was new.

Try to catch it on late-night cable (Tivo'd). It will still be satisfying to young and new viewers.

Originally, the mis-stepping travelers return to their time, and it has been transformed into a Totalitarian nightmare.

Bradbury also penned a young-reader's spin-off titled "Dinosaur Planet". (Why does that sound familiar?) In that novella some young adventurers are transported to a world ruled by prescient and pre-technological troodontids. Sounds like the movie is blending the two writings.

Killing a butterfly fucks over the future, yet killing dinosaurs doesn't? Lame.

We should kill a butterfly and see what happens .... in the name of science that is.

Actually in the story they only hunt dinosaurs that are on the brink of death or something like that, so that they can't screw anything up since their prey is gonna die anyway.

That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard.
