Background

However, later, due to their secret dealing being leaked to the public, he decided to fire Matthew Broderick and increase the pay of Jonathan Friedman's clients, Brian De Palma and Simon Westeros, to quell the public outcry. He also appointed David Giler, who had worked with Fox on the Alien and its sequel Aliens, as the main producer of the The Butterfly Effect.
