Wasn’t there an ET sequel planned where half the movie is some bad aliens coming and torturing the kids to find ET and then at the end ET turns up and saves them. Big mystery why they scrapped that one

Big mystery why they scrapped that one Anyway yeah I don't think they did a sequel because Spielberg was already in his "I don't need to do poo poo for anyone ever again if I don't want to" phase of power in 1982, and he had enough rights ownership that they'd have to go through him. They did make a sequel novel, which by all accounts is terrible, and the Universal Studios ride is based on the novel/what the planned sequel would have been and it's also pretty terrible. It involves more ET aliens and their plant homeworld and it's just... nobody cares. Nobody loving cares. The entire core of ET revolved around a lonely single parent kid finding his footing by being a surrogate big brother to a dopey Jesus alien. There's nowhere else to go with that premise. You either go into tedious lore bullshit no one wants, or you try to square the circle of showing the lonely kid become an adult with/without the Jesus alien. The former is barely enough for a theme park ride, and the latter sounds so soul-crushingly depressing I had to call my doctor and get my zoloft prescription extended just to finish this post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgEOSd50Pac Plus that ET Atari video game was such a colossal failure. Like it's a historically significant event, that game failing. It redefined the entire US video game market and basically allowed Nintendo to enter the West. The game was so unprofitable they mass-buried cartridges in the loving desert and it became a tourist excavation in the 2010s. While that event didn't really tarnish the reputation of the movie-- and why would it? the movie is still good-- it did kind-of ensure that the franchise was encased in amber forevermore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_video_game_burial   quote:Beetlejuice, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Willow and Top Gun Beetlejuice-- they've tried, but no one had a strong enough pitch and the key talent moved on; Kevin Smith of all people has a famous story of jokingly saying "What you want to do 'Beetlejuice goes Hawaiian?'" to studio execs and getting commissioned to do a spec script, and that was 25 years ago. It never really found legs in nostalgia/merchandise and it's such a bizarre cocktail (that honestly barely worked in the first place) that no one really has an obvious revival angle. Who Framed Roger Rabbit-- rights issues. The thing was basically Spielberg's entire network pulling in every favor they had at the time and still only barely getting the go-ahead from every company to use their characters. Then Spielberg wisely decided to use the momentum from that to create all the 90s WB cartoons like Tiny Toons and Animaniacs-- which he and his pals could fully own-- and that ended up being the bedrock for Millennial nostalgia instead of the Roger Rabbit Toontown stuff. Willow-- not a big hit, doesn't really have the cult following you might think it would, and it was really expensive. There's no real nostalgia for it and once Lord of the Rings raised the bar for production standards there was no chance of it ever coming back, and Lord of the Ring was twenty loving years ago. Top Gun-- oh they're doing the sequel and every guy whose profile pic is them in a truck with sunglasses, a hat, and/or a goatee is absolutely going to be there opening day. It'll probably suck. Tom Cruise legitimately looks like Troy McClure:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSqVVswa420 mind the walrus fucked around with this message at 12:21 on Jul 12, 2020 |

The previously mentioned ride at Universal Studios is based off of the proposed sequel idea. I think the movie is special to Spielberg and would explain why there's never been a sequel. Rumor has it that if they ever removed it from Universal Orlando, he would never work with Universal Studios again. It checks out because it's only original ride left at the park and they've removed it from all their other parks.

When I was a kid watching ET the part where it was wearing a wig came on. My brother said it looked like Whoopi Goldberg. Completely ruined the movie for me.

The planned sequel for E.T. was called "E.T.: Nocturnal Fears", where carnivorous evil E.T.'s come to earth and mutilate cattle while hunting the political criminal E.T.: https://www.ranker.com/list/cancelled-sequel-to-et-the-extra-terrestrial/zack-howe Also, there was a script written for a Roger Rabbit sequel called "Toon Platoon" about toons using their functional immortality to help the allies win WWII: http://www.filmbuffonline.com/FBOLNewsreel/wordpress/2005/08/07/script-review-roger-rabbit-ii-the-toon-platoon/ Drink-Mix Man fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Jul 12, 2020 |

honestly, if I had to take a stab at a serious answer: there's no loving way in hell they didn't consider making one. however, there's several problems. first off, Spielberg doesn't like doing sequels to his movies. the only one he's directed in his entire career was The Lost World, which was 1997 (a pretty long while after ET). this is probably the biggest issue: if it were a more typical blockbuster, this wouldn't be a problem (didn't stop them from making Jaws 2), but it's a type of movie that only Spielberg was really known for at that time, and someone else trying to imitate him would've been blatantly weird and bad. second off, there's not much room to write a sequel that isn't just kind of rehashing the first one. ET phoned home; there's just nowhere else to go with it after that, unless you want to get deep into the weeds of how the aliens work in a way the first movie was extremely not interested in. thirdly, while they could have gotten away with one right off the bat if they'd rushed it out, the second ET became a "revered family film" it was too late to make a sequel. you don't make sequels to movies that reach that kind of revered status, because even if it's good people will almost certainly hate it.

I'll admit I only saw Beetlejuice once and it was at another kid's birthday party and I hid in a box for most of it and then ran to tell the kid's parents the kid was watching a scary movie and the mom made the kid turn the movie off and I never got invited to another birthday party for the rest of elementary school.
