Sequels stemming from Steven Spielberg's films didn't have the best record. Of course, Films "Indiana Onesons" There were two great films after "Indiana Ons: Thieves of the lost casket", but Films "Jurassic Park" never caught the Dino-Metian magic of the original, and less to say about The "jaws" sequelsthe better. However, a sequel that never came true was Spielberg's 1982 gem followed, "Extra-Territorial". Fortunately, Spielberg fought hard to ensure that the stranger hoped to call home, never made a return.

While recently appeared at the TCM Classic Film Festival: Newouper Pop-Up x 92ny with Drew Barrymore (through Hollywood reporter), the Oscar -winning director explained how he stood firmly about the little man who made you believe that a bicycle boy could fly. "This was a real tough victory because I had no rights. Before ET, I had some rights, but I didn't have much rights, "he explained. "I didn't have what we call" freezing ", where you can prevent the studio from making a sequel because you control the freezing of extensions, remake and other IP auxiliary uses. I didn't have that. But just because the director eventually fought against it, it didn't mean that he didn't actually entertain the idea of ​​a sequel.

If your heart is not in something, it is probably best to leave it. That was the decision Steven Spielberg eventually brought her when he thought about the idea of ​​following his gem in the scientific-family. "I just didn't want to make a sequel. I flirted with that a little - just a little bit to see if I could think of a story - and the only thing I could think about was a book that someone wrote it wrote the book about it called the "Green Planet", which was going to be held in Et's home, "he admitted. Well, there was that and Much darker chapter entitled "Et Nightly Fear", Co-written by ET writer Melissa Matters, where ET protects Eliot (Henry Thomas) from a carnivorous off-the-heart of her own species. However, the "Green Planet" sounded much cheerful.

Written by William Kotzvinkl three years after the launch of the original film, "Et: The Book of the Green Planet" follows our foreign paler while he heads home, just to watch out for his human friend, Eliot (Henry Thomas). Seeing that both he and his friend are changing, Et breaks the laws of his planet and returns to Earth to set his friend properly. "We could all go to ET's home and see how ET lived," Spielberg revealed. "But it was better as a novel than I think it would be like a movie." Well. Let's keep it that way.
