Butterfly Effect Two Casting Info
Filed under: Casting, Deals, Mystery & Suspense, Fandom, Scripts, Movie Marketing, Remakes and Sequels
Apparently, Butterfly Effect impressed people enough to
at least warrant a direct-to-DVD moneygrab...er...sequel. We reported the news a few days ago, and now we're back with
more details on the project. Canadian actress Erica Durance, known
for her role in Smallville as Lois Lane, will star opposite
an as-yet-unnamed male lead, according to the folks over at Moviehole. The site claims that
annonymous sources informed them that Durance and her co-lead will be in Vancouver (Canada) from January 9th until
February 7th for primary shooting. Cinematographer John
Leonetti (Star Trek: Insurrection) will make his
feature-film directorial debut on the sequel. New Line is said to be aiming for a DVD release sometime this year.
Does this news make people happy? I presume there have got to be fans (of both Butterfly Effect and Ms. Durance) somewhere who are pleased to hear this- and don't get me wrong, I actually enjoyed Butterfly Effect – but it seems to me that a sequel handled in this manner is just asking for a poorly put together, halfhearted attempt at pulling in some extra cash on the coat tails of the first's success. With any luck I'm totally wrong on this, and it'll be an enjoyable sequel. Do any fans out there have some encouraging thoughts to make me look forward to this a bit more?

Well I hope its good - it should be a new trend for DTV's being good. Carlito's Way 2 wasn't that bad and it did well DTV...I for one hope this is a new way of making movies so that we can get some more genre specific movies that dont have to appeal to the cineplex crowd. While I dont think BE2 will be it, it will hopefully pave the way.
On another note I find it a bad career move for the beautiful Erica Durance to follow a hit show like Smallville with this, in terms of career moves unless of course BE2 breaks some records - she and Kristen, Tom and Michael all have hopefully movie careers ahead of them...
