Does this mean the videogame based on this movie will crash the game industry?

Yes... and if you've read the projections - the industry is about due for one

Elliot was annoying as hell in the movie.

But, the first ET was pretty damn bad.

I hope the second movie focuses around ET coming back, reading gerties mind and being disappointed at the things she did while growing up. Then returning home where people are nicer.

E.T. II: Curlys Gold

I like City Slickers references and all, but I don't get what that's supposed to mean.



Also, this will never happen. I guarantee it.

Over my dead body... literally! Speilberg thinks he had a stalker before, imagine millions of ET fans! Fuck, make a sequel to Casablanca, Citizen Kane, whatever, but dont fuck with the GREATEST movie of all time. And I really like Drew, but sheesh, please go and make another movie with Adam Sandler, cause thats the only thing that your good at!

ET must come back to Earth to save the galaxy from the stink coming from between Drew Barrymoore's legs

 

[Razoric]

Some of you guys are freaking out over nothing. Spielberg has a pretty strict policy when it comes to developing sequels, and this sounds like something Drew's pushing -- not Spielberg.

I take it you didn't see Jurassic Park 2?

 

[effzee]

did he direct jurassic park 2? i always thought it was someone else.

 

[Escape Goat]

He did the second but not the third.

Nope, for some reason I thought the same thing. IMDb says differently though. I think it's main reason for failure was that there was a second book out there but they decided to create a hollywood script to whore out there, with a little bit of the original author involved. I mean, why not, they added everything that would make you a blockbuster. Tons and tons of people in the flick, all the more for the dinosaurs to eat, A 20 minute t-rex raid on San Diego, a cameo by the original's doctor towards the end to wrap it up with a warm message and moral that made no sense.. Meanwhile, wtf happened to Vinc Vaughn's character? He was actually pretty well developed and the last time we see him he just leaves the island and doesn't appear again.

And the problem of a dinosaur in a city was sure taken care of easy enough :lol Didn't fit into the pacing at all but hey, let's give the flick a little extra zest with a special effects splooge. You know people would come to see it, if only to see a dinosaur in a city. So how do you wrap what should have been mass chaos up without the scope of wtf happened in the city/world? You have the main characters decide it's their problem, bring him back after 15 minutes of people screaming their heads off and dying, with a few cute little jokes (there's a dinosaur in our backyard"), and close with a message from John Hammond. Where were police or military at this point? Absolutely nuts they were.

Do not want.

Spielberg did say that doing "The Lost World" was his way of giving fans ET2, because it being so beloved he never wanted to mess with it or something like that...
