Steven Spielberg on "E.T." SequelPosted: June 14th, 2012 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
"ET: The Extra-Terrestrial" hit theaters during the busiest summer for movies, but still grossed almost $800 million worldwide. A treatment for a sequel, called "ET: Nocturnal Fears," was quickly thrown together, but it was so dark that producers had to pass on it.
Speaking to the American Film Institute, Steven Spielberg explained why "ET 2" never happened. "Sequels can be very dangerous because they compromise your truth as an artist," he said. "I think a sequel to 'ET' would do nothing but rob the original of its virginity. People only remember the latest episode, while the pilot tarnishes."
In the follow-up a second spaceship lands, but the aliens onboard are evil. They're searching for a stranded extraterrestrial named Zrek (aka ET), who is sending a call for "Help." The evil creatures are carnivorous and are an albino fraction (mutation) of the same civilization ET belongs to. The two separate groups have been at war for decades. Later in the script, Elliot and his friends are kidnapped and violently interrogated by Korel (the alien commander), demanding to know the whereabouts of Zrek. Thankfully, ET is aware of the attack and arrives to save the day.
Spielberg added that it will take a lot for him to direct an "ET" sequel. "I'm waiting for a dream project, but it will not be 'ET 2,'" he said. "Because I can't imagine ever making another one, unless I wake up one morning with a master thought."

What BadChad said. I was thinking about the Indiana Jones series throughout that whole article. What were you saying about sequels robbing the original of its virginity Steven? Pass the bong fella!
And what Brody said.
@pornfly --- for clarity. It's my basement and not the tool shed Heather fled from (I've heard of 'playing hard to get'... but her chewing through those ropes and leaving without a thank you bang... what a bitch!).

E.T 2? Seriously.
As Indiana Jones 4 isn't bad enough, what Steven Spielberg going to do with E.T?
Put him in a fridge and flying in the air from a nuclear explosion or making him swing like a monkey during a swordfight or maybe make him fly into the air into a riverfall in a vecihle.
No E.T 2 because E.T. doesn't want to go back home on Earth.

This is the guy that directed Kingdom of the f*cking Crystal Skull, talking about artistic integrity? LMAO.
But don't worry. They'll either remake ET or do a sequel. It'll happen. Just wait.

Master thought...Reboot ET to bring the magic to today's generation of kids. Actually scratch that, nothing will ever surpass the original virgin. It will end up looking like Super 8 anyways.

"Sounds ten times more interesting than the original."
The original is fine, I guess, but it's just a movie, and not exactly the greatest film ever made either, on par with Jaws, but a bit better, yet people think it's just one of those films that can't be remade or rebooted or sequelized because it's the the holy grail of films because they saw it as a child.
Whatever. Boy meets alien, alien dies, alien comes back to life, alien phones home. Kinda like Jesus Christ, but with less homosexuality.

"Why is Minkowski a gay pedophile?"
So if I'm a gay pedophile, that must mean I rape little boys, and yet you said I raped your daughter, so thus you're either a f*cking liar or a piece of sh*t. Or both. A. B. C. I'll go with C.

Does anyone have an original idea left? Or are we doomed to nothing but sequels, prequels, reboots, and remakes from here on out?
