連鎖蝶變
The Butterfly Effect

強 勢 驚 嚇 ， 非 同 凡 響

《連鎖蝶變》由《死神來了》幕後班底再度合作，在美國一上映就以1710萬美元勇奪北美首週票房冠軍，擊敗賓史迪拿的愛情喜劇《情場算死草》(Along Came Polly)、添布頓導演新作《大魚奇緣》(Big Fish)、奧斯卡七項提名《亂世情天》(Cold Mountain)、積尼高遜和奇洛李維斯的浪漫喜劇《玩轉男人心》(Something's Gotta Give)等，成績驕人。

《連鎖蝶變》劇情曲折離奇、懸疑弔詭；自公映以來，坊間好評接連不斷，獲得「The Hollywood Reporter」、「LA Daily News」、「hollywood.com」等權威媒體點名力讚，被譽為有高度創意，再創科幻驚嚇片新視野，超越《回到未來】系列電影的磅礡氣勢。

此外，《連鎖蝶變》全片在加拿大溫哥華拍攝，幕後製作陣容鼎盛，由加拿大著名的「Toybox」特技效果公司全力支援，該公司曾替《芝加哥》、《娃鬼新娘》等經典名片，創造過不少觀眾記憶猶新的視覺特技。

《連鎖蝶變》肯定是本年度不可多得的驚慄佳作。

故 事 大 綱

命運能否隨意刪減？

艾雲（艾斯頓傑查飾）對不愉快的童年印象模糊，失憶令他在困擾中成長。兒時心理醫生著他保存的生活筆記，和青梅竹馬的摯友姬莉（艾美絲蜜飾）、連尼（艾特漢信飾）及湯美（威廉李史葛特飾），是他對往事的僅餘線索。

十數年後，艾雲意外地發現筆記簿可帶他回到過去，再次經歷成長。艾雲知道要擺脫夢魘，一定要改寫過去。他孤注一擲，決定借童年的自己，扭轉今日的命運──他與青梅竹馬女友姬莉的關係撲朔迷離，好朋友之死也令他悲慟不已……

然而，當艾雲每次在「過去」改變歷史，「現在」的境況也一同會變異，仿似物理現象的連鎖反應──不可思議的「BUTTERFLY EFFECT」，令情況越變越懷，竟致一發不可收拾…

甚 麼 是 蝴 蝶 效 應 Butterfly Effect ？

要清楚明白《連鎖蝶變》的故事源起，必先從英文片名Butterfly Effect －「蝴蝶效應」開始探索。究竟甚麼是Butterfly Effect？

在「渾沌理論」當中的「蝴蝶效應」，意謂一些渺小不起眼的事件或現象，在紛擾和不可預測的混沌之中，極大可能扮演具影響性的關鍵角色。據悉，曾經試過在中國北京的一隻蝴蝶振翅，輕微改變了氣壓，而這些擾動竟同時改變著附近地方的氣壓，一傳十、十傳百的連鎖傳開；一個月後，太平洋對岸的美國芝加哥因氣壓改變而下雨。

於是氣象學家Lorenz提出一篇論文，名叫「一隻蝴蝶拍一下翅膀會否在德州引起龍捲風？」Lorenz指出，如果某一系統的初期條件差一點點，結果將很不穩定，他把這種現象戲稱做「蝴蝶效應」。這情況就像我們投擲骰子兩次，無論我們如何刻意去擲，兩次的物理現象和投出點數，也不一定是相同的。

氣象學家Lorenz親身體驗

Lorenz為何要寫這篇論文呢？一切要從1961年的冬天說起。當時他如常在辦公室裡操作氣象電腦。平常他只需要把溫度、溼度、壓力等氣象數據輸入，電腦就會依據三個內建的微分方程式，計算出下一刻的氣象數據，從而模擬出氣象變化圖。然而這天Lorenz想更進一步了解某段紀錄的後續變化，他把某時刻的氣象數據重新輸入電腦，讓電腦計算出更多的後續結果。在那個年代，電腦處理數據資料的數度不夠快，所以在電腦算出結果之前，足夠他喝杯咖啡並和友人閒聊一陣。

一小時後結果出來，他看得目瞪口呆。相比起原來的資訊和現在結果，他發現初期的數據雖然差不多，但越到後期，數據差異就越大，就像是兩筆截然不同的資訊。問題並非出在電腦上，而是他輸入的數據差了0.000127！如此輕微差異竟可造成天壤之別，由此也說明了要長期、準確地預測天氣，根本是不可能。

《連鎖蝶變》故事發展，也徹底吻合了「渾沌理論」中的「蝴蝶效應」。片中艾雲每次在「過去」改變歷史，「現在」的境況也一同會變異，驚人結果始料未及；這仿似物理現象的連鎖反應，一發不可收拾。

男 主 角 艾 斯 頓 傑 查 介 紹

《連鎖蝶變》男主角艾斯頓傑查是美國新生代人氣男星，從學生少女到全城OL，都被他陽光搞笑的形象迷得神暈顛倒。這位當紅小生以《玩串婚後事》、《今夜多戀事》走紅大銀幕，還在美國「百視達」(Blockbuster) 的觀眾票選中，成為「最想與他纏綿」的男星第一名。《連鎖蝶變》中的艾斯頓首轉戲路，刻意在臉上蓄起短鬚，性格豪邁、性感無比，再度以男性魅力把全球女性電得飄飄然，大受歡迎。

男模出身的艾斯頓身高191公分，在大學主修生物工程，俊帥又有頭腦，對「渾沌理論」中的「蝴蝶效應」原來相當熟悉。艾斯頓在《連鎖蝶變》飾演的艾雲飽受童年陰影的摧殘蹂躪，他說：「艾雲這個人根本不知道自己是誰，他早就忘記以前創傷回憶，而在整部影片當中，才慢慢發現他根本不需要喜歡真正的自己。」

儘管艾斯頓由喜劇演員起家，他卻很高興有機會演出深沉角色。「我一直都想飾演真實生活化人物，詮釋比較戲劇化的角色，現在竟有個大好發揮機會，真多謝上帝。」為了好好闡述這個角色，他特地研讀心理學，尤其是導致「病患抹滅創傷記憶」的「感知分離失調」（dissociation disorder）案例，「我想知道是什麼原因，使得人們隱藏情感，避免正視這些傷痛，這點很似艾雲的行為。」

除此之外，艾斯頓在《連鎖蝶變》中也首次參與幕後工作，擔任執行監製一職。年紀輕輕的他，而晉身為成功的全能電影人，前途無可限量。

女 主 角 艾 美 絲 蜜 介 紹

《連鎖蝶變》女主角艾美絲蜜，是近年荷里活最搶手的新紮甜姐兒。自著名電視片集《Felicity》和《The 70's》令她一炮而紅，艾美隨即獲多間電影公司垂青，邀請進軍大銀幕，拍攝不少優質電影，包括：千萬特技鉅獻《星河戰隊》和「夢工場」出位喜劇《四仔旅行團》等。

拍畢《連鎖蝶變》，艾美下部作品將會是《Starsky & Hutch》，與《火拼時速》型仔奧雲韋遜和《非常外父揀女婿》笑匠賓史迪拿合作。

兩位導演及編劇 艾力伯斯、J.米奇古巴 介紹

艾力伯斯、J.米奇古巴兩位才子，是荷里活數一數二最合拍的幕後拍檔。米奇畢業於USC Film School，擅於電影攝影；艾力則是Syracuse University的高才生，對聲音工程有極深刻的研究。二人相識於就學年代，當時他們代表自己學校的電影習作出外參賽，結果一同獲得多個獎項。

二人首部合作的獨立電影《Blunt》，由艾力執導、米奇編劇，成績非常出眾。它除了榮獲1998年「紐約國際獨立電影節」的最佳喜劇獎項外，也勇奪同年「新奧爾良電影節」榮譽大獎，成為十大影片之一。

2001年，他倆回歸主流電影懷抱，執筆編寫了《死神又來了》，成功突破上集的驚慄意境，以新派手法將所有觀眾嚇過死去活來，全球票房非常不俗。《連鎖蝶變》則是他們籌備多載的最新作品，並得到很多電影公司招手，爭相購買版權。但艾力、米奇不約而同表示，他們與「New Line Cinema」合作多時關係良好，所以最後還是把版權高價賣給「New Line」。

Scriptwriter of "Final Destination" &

Visual Effect Specialist of "Star War"

A Great Hit of US Box Office No. 1, the most brilliant thriller of the year

《The Butterfly Effect》

Story OutLine:

Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher) has lost track of time. From an early age, crucial moments of his life have disappeared into a black hole of forgetting, his boyhood marred by a series of terrifying events he can't remember. What remains is the ghost of memory and the broken lives around him - the lives of his childhood friends, Kayleigh (Amy Smart), Lenny (Elden Henson) and Tommy (William Lee Scott).

Throughout his childhood, Evan was under the care of a psychologist who encouraged him to keep a journal, detailing the events of his day-to-day life. Now in college, Evan reads from one of his journals and finds himself thrust suddenly, inexplicably back in time. He comes to realize that the notebooks he keeps under his bed are a vehicle by which he can return to the past and reclaim his memories. But these recollections only leave Evan feeling responsible for the damaged lives of his friends, most crucially that of Kayleigh, his childhood sweetheart who he continued to love into adulthood.

Determined to do something now that he was incapable of doing then, Evan purposely travels back in time, his present-day mind occupying his childhood body, in an attempt to re-write history and spare his friends and loved ones these traumatic experiences. By altering the events of the past, Evan hopes to transform the present.

But every time Evan changes something in the past, he returns to the present to find that his actions have unexpected and disastrous consequences. Try as he might, he can't seem to create a reality that allows he and Kayleigh to live "happily ever after."

About the cast:

Ashton Kutcher

Already well known for his series-lead role as Michael Kelso on "That '70s Show" for Fox, Ashton Kutcher has established himself as a leading man on the big screen with box-office hits like 20th Century Fox's Dude, Where's My Car and Just Married.

He is an executive producer and co-creator of the hit MTV show "Punk'd," a hidden camera show in which he and his cast of pranksters "Punk" celebrities. Kutcher is currently in development on the feature Guess Who's Coming to Dinner as well as some other projects for both film and television.

Kutcher was born and raised in Homestead, Iowa (population: 100) where he lived on a farm with his parents, older sister and twin brother. After being discovered by a local model/talent scout, Kutcher moved to New York to pursue his interest in acting.

Amy Smart

Amy Smart recently co-starred with Christopher Walken, Andy Dick, Maura Tierney and Kevin Corrigan in Scotland, PA, a re-telling of Shakespeare's "Macbeth," set against the unlikely background of a fast-food eatery in the early 1970's. Smart co-starred opposite Breckin Meyer and Tom Green in the DreamWorks' feature Roadtrip and appeared in the ensemble feature comedy Rat Race, directed by Jerry Zucker. She will next be seen opposite Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller in the highly anticipated Starsky & Hutch.

Smart heated up the small screen as Noel's love interest on the WB's "Felicity" and was also seen in the NBC miniseries "The 70's," which chronicled the lives of four young people, forever intertwined, after witnessing the Kent State shooting of 1970.

Smart's additional film credits include Miramax's Outside Providence, with Alec Baldwin and Shawn Hatosy, Paramount's Varsity Blues opposite James Van Der Beek, Starf*cker with Loren Dean, Starship Troopers and The Last Time I Committed Suicide.

About the filmmakers:

Eric Bress & J. Mackye Gruber (Screenwriters/Directors)

Native New Yorkers, Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber met in 1994 while Gruber was graduating USC Film School. Bress had recently moved to Los Angeles after graduating Syracuse University and collaborated with Gruber on his USC senior thesis. By then, Gruber already had a professional background in cinematography which nicely complimented Bress' previous work as a sound engineer. Both had numerous awards from their respective film schools and an equally twisted sense of humor. A partnership was formed.

Their first feature film, Blunt, was completed three years later, written by Bress and directed by Gruber. The controversial indie film went on to tour the festival scene and won accolades including "Best Comedy" from the 1998 New York International Independent Film Festival and later the prestigious "Lumieres" in the 1998 New Orleans Film Festival, an award distinguishing it as one of the Top Ten Films.

The next year, the pair explored the prime time network television front and sold their first one-hour pilot to Disney/ABC. From there, they sold their first major spec script, Frozen, to Phoenix Pictures.

In 2001, they penned the hit thriller Final Destination 2 for New Line Cinema. The Butterfly Effect is the only screenplay they have refused to let out of their hands despite numerous purchase offers and is the second collaboration of what they hope to be a long lasting relationship with New Line Cinema.

Since completing The Butterfly Effect, they've completed rewrites for the feature film Cellular, their second teaming with director David R. Ellis, who had earlier helmed Final Destination 2, and have recently sold a one-hour drama television pilot to Fox Television.

Chris Bender & JC Spink (Producers)

Chris Bender and JC Spink are partners in Benderspink, a diversified management/production company specializing in initiating and managing the careers of screenwriters, directors and actors.

The company opened its doors in November 1998 with fifteen screenwriter clients. Working out of a house, Bender and Spink sold twenty-four client spec scripts, co-produced Universal Pictures' American Pie and convinced executives at Disney to take a chance on a first-time director for Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalo. On the heels of that success, both New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Television signed the company to separate first-look deals.

Over the next year, Benderspink set up twenty-eight projects. The company saw the successful release of New Line's Final Destination and began filming Warner Bros.' Cats & Dogs and Universal's American Pie 2 by summer 2000.

In 2001, Benderspink set up over thirty feature projects and renewed its first-look deals at both New Line Cinema and Twentieth Century Fox Television.

Additionally, Warner Bros.' Cats & Dogs and Universal's American Pie 2 found large audiences in theatres across the globe with worldwide box office receipts of $200.4 million and $285.4 million, respectively. Cats & Dogs became the third franchise for Benderspink and its clients, while American Pie 2 managed to out-perform its predecessor.

Benderspink maintained a feverish pace in 2002 with a number of high profile spec sales. In mid-October, the Benderspink-produced DreamWorks' film The Ring hit #1 during its opening weekend and maintained one of the top three spots for four consecutive weeks. The film grossed over $128 million domestically and, with a sequel in development, became the fourth franchise for Benderspink and its clients.

The company is maintaining its impressive spec track record in 2003 with a number of script and pitch sales. Additionally, the production side continues to burgeon with two recent films, Universal's American Wedding and Lions Gate's Blind Horizon. The long-anticipated release of American Wedding topped the box office the first weekend of August with an impressive $34.3 million, providing Benderspink with the number one hit of the weekend. And, by early September, the film moved past $100 million mark.
