Interesting facts
In one of Evan's flashback scenes he is heard reading an excerpt from Ray Bradbury's short story "A Sound of Thunder". In that tale a group of people travel millions of years back to hunt dinosaurs; one of them accidentally treads on and kills a butterfly, which dramatically alters the future.
