Based on a short story by Ray Bradbury
IMDB plot summery.... "A Sound of Thunder" is about a game hunter (Burns) who goes on a time-traveling safari owned and operated by Kingsley's character to hunt dinosaurs in the prehistoric era. When he kills a butterfly, he unknowingly sets off a chain reaction that will erase humanity from existence. A team of experts must return back in time and replace the butterfly. McCormack is the inventor of the time-traveling computer
So howcum they didn't adapt the Bradbury short story as a film?
Scheduled for release in the US, March 11, 2005
Had they used the actual plot from the short story, they could have released it just before Election Day and had it end with them getting back to the future to learn that Bush had been re-elected* . . .
