There are four alternate endings. Most of them involve Evan and Kayleigh having a chance meeting as adults in a timeline where they never knew each other as children. In the first, Evan turns around and talks to Kayleigh at the same time. In the second, Evan turns around after Kayleigh has already turned around and follows her. The directors referred to this as the "happy sappy stalker ending" and said that if the studio had insisted upon it being in the theatrical cut, they'd have publicly distanced themselves from the movie. In the third ending, Kayleigh turns around first and then Evan turns around and Kayleigh walks away. Evan stands there for a minute then walks away and does not follow her. The directors called this the "happy sappy ending" and said it was the minimum ending they'd be willing to accept in the theatrical cut if the studio insisted on it since Evan at least learns *some* lesson about self-sacrifice. In the fourth one, Evan watches a home movie of his birth rather than him meeting Kayleigh. He travels into the movie and strangles himself in the womb. (This can be seen at the end of the Director's Cut.) This was always the directors' preferred ending, but it was deemed by the studio to be too grim for the theatrical release, which features the ending of Evan telling Kayleigh off at a childhood party, thus keeping them from developing any relationship.
