The Butterfly Effect is to get a sequel in
The Butterfly Effect 2, according to Variety
The movie is expected to have all new characters, meaning original's star, Ashton Kutcher, isn't expected to be involved.
Veteran D.P.D.P. John Leonetti, who directed
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, has been tapped to directed from a script being written by Michael Weiss.
