Melora Walters, Elden Henson, and Logan Lerman also starred in the first film, which grossed $96 million worldwide from a $13 million budget, and spawned the straight-to-dvd sequels The Butterfly Effect 2 in 2006 and The Butterfly Effect 3 in 2009.
Anthony Rhulen, Chris Bender and J.C. Spink are producing alongside FilmEngine president Navid McIlhargey. No production schedule was given.
