Just in from New Line Home Entertainment is the latest addition to their Infinifilm line, the Ashton Kutcher thriller The Butterfly Effect. A mid-level hit at the box office this past winter, New Line will pull out all of the stops for the DVD, which includes both the original theatrical cut and a new Director's Cut on the same disc. Each will be presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and Dolby Digital Surround EX (the Director's Cut also provides a DTS 6.1 ES option), and include a plethora of extras: the Infinifilm version of each flick, "Beyond the Movie" features ("The Science and Psychology of the Chaos Theory" and "History and Allure of Time Travel" featurettes and a subtitle trivia fact track), "All Access Pass" extras (audio commentary with director and screenwriter Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber, deleted scenes, "The Creative Process" and "Visual Effects" featurettes, a storyboard gallery and theatrical trailers) and extensive DVD-ROM content that is MCE-enhanced for playback on Windows Media Center PCs (ScriptViewer for the Director's Cut, a commentary digest, still gallery, scene medleys and weblinks). Retail for the set will be $27.95.
