wolfx Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 (edited) I remmembered reading this short story during college as english lit. Pretty cool....but wth...Hollywood's gonna make it (already did) into a movie? I caught Phantom of the Opera on the screen and this was one of the trailers. Caught me by surprised really since I didn't hear of this. Edited January 10, 2005 by wolfx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 It was already on TV. It was a short story on one of those Ray Bradbury Theatre/Twilight Zone kind of show. Story is exactly identical to the link you posted except for the end, they came back to a Nazi dominated future with Swastikas all over the place. Watched it nearly 20 years ago as a kid. I remember it cuz I thought they tried to be smart (kill a butterfly, mess up the future) but it makes no sense. As if the anti-grav path, the sound of guns, the extra wound on the T-Rex and the air displaced by the travellers wouldn't make as much of a difference as that dead butterfly.

Doktor Gonzo Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Also the basis for a really funny Simpsons "Treehouse of Horrors" segment a bunch of years back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumper Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 thought they only went after T-Rex's that were going to die anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Worthless piece of trivia: "Sound of Thunder" has absolutely no relation to chaos theory's "butterfly effect", despite a certain obvious similarity. Sound of Thunder predates chaos theory, and chaos theory named it after a hypothetical example developed independent to the short story.
