Hi, I'm looking for a title of a short story that I read many years ago. I'm not even sure if Bradbury wrote it. It is about a man who travels back in time with a tour group. He accidently steps off the path on a butterfly. When he returns to the present time, the world is different because of his actions. Anyone who can help me with a title? Thanks, emess
How can this be? You didn't see the motion picture recently in theatres? Then run off to the nearest video store and rent it: 'The Sound of Thunder', based on Bradbury's short story in question. Oh yes, that's also the name of the short story you are looking for...

Think I posted the official website long while back. Here's one I found again! It's the same as the original Theatrical website, expect this one now is promoting the DVD as well. Additionally, it has a flash site, which it didn't have in the beginnin version. Chicago papers ran full page, and quarter page ads for the opening in theaters.
http://www.asoundofthunder.warnerbros.com/ Okay, this link doesn't co=operate. So, go to GOOGLE, and simply type in A sound Of Thunder Official Movie Site. It'll give you the link. When you physically type it in, it doesn't take you there. Go figure.

Perhaps why no one saw it at the theaters is because it flew in and out of the theater quicker than that butterfly being chased by a pack of hungry butterfly eating dinosaurs. It was said to cost about $80 Million dollars, but took in total box office receipts of less than 2 million dollars.

I have it on DVD, but I'm afraid to watch it as I fear the worst. I'm told it's not bad if you put all thoughts of Bradbury out of your head after the first couple of minutes, but I don't think I can do that!
I'm still quite fond of the TV version of the story - info about it here.
