Felicia Day in Tim Travers And The Time Traveler's Paradox

In director Stimson Snead's science fiction comedy, Tim Travers And The Time Traveler's Paradox (2024), the titular character played by Samuel Dunning decides to alter reality by travelling back in time to kill his younger self. There are obvious echoes of other films that have employed a similar idea about changing the future, including James Cameron's classic science fiction action double-bill The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2 (1991), and Jonathan Frakes' Star Trek: First Contact (1996).

Unfortunately, for Tim Travers, reality remains intact. Instead, he's confronted by multiple versions of himself. Felicia Day plays Tim's love interest Delilah, who works for a conspiracy theory media empire run by James Bunratty, played by Joel McHale.

Day created the web series The Guild (2007-2013), about a community of gamers, which ran for 70 episodes across six seasons. She also starred in the musical comedy-drama web series,...

The “time traveler’s paradox” – that brain-bending question of what happens if you alter the past in a way that prevents your future self from existing – has always struck me as one of science fiction’s most irresistible thought experiments. It’s the kind of idea that can fuel late-night dorm room debates or, in rarer cases, a genuinely inventive film.

“Tim Travers & the Time Travelers Paradox” dives headfirst into this temporal quandary. Our guide is the titular Tim Travers, a reclusive physicist whose intense dedication to his work seems to have built the very walls of his isolated laboratory. He isn’t content to merely theorize; Tim decides to put the paradox to the ultimate test by traveling back a mere minute to confront, and potentially eliminate, his younger self.

This initial, audacious act immediately signals the film’s peculiar blend of rigorous scientific inquiry and a darkly comedic,...

“Tim Travers and the Time Traveler's Paradox”, is a new comedic, live-action, science fiction feature, written and directed by Stimson Snead, starring Samuel Dunning, Danny Trejo, Joel McHale, Keith David and Felicia Day, releasing May 30, 2025 in theaters:

“…’Tim Travers’ seeks to solve the time travelers paradox. Would it--for example--literally destroy the universe? Tim Travers, self-hating mad genius, is going to find out!

“Along the way, he'll piss off an international crime syndicate led by ‘Royce’ (Trejo), engage in a battle of wills with conspiracy theorist radio host ‘James ‘ (McHale), even attempt to squeeze in a date in with the dangerously unstable ‘Delilah’ (Day).

“Tim will have to learn how to literally coexist with the worst parts of himself, before his own demons destroy him and the universe with it…”

Stimson Snead: As far as the budget goes, all I'll say is it costs a lot less than it should, but still a lot more than I would've liked. It is so interesting going through the business side versus the artistic side of this film. On the artistic side, this film has been met with uniform praise at festivals. We've connected beautifully with audiences. Critical response has been very generous. It's been the fuel that has gotten us through the last year and a half, and it is just how warmly received this film has been. It's been an experience that has meant the world to me. It has been a great payoff to all the work that went into this.
