May 19th, 2009 - 5:57 pm ICT by ANIWashington, May 19 (ANI): Filmmaker Steven Spielberg has ruled out any plans to make a sequel to the hit flick E.T., insisting that it is a “closed story”.
It was speculated that Drew Brarymore, who featured in E.T. when she was just 5, would again act in a sequel, which would be based on a tale about E.T. 27 years later.
However, Steven has clearly said that he has no plans to make a sequel.
“I’m never going to make E.T. II - E.T. is a closed story,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
“It had a beginning, middle and a definite ending, and we had nowhere to take it except to go home with him. Nor did I want to bring him back to Earth for a second time,” he added. (ANI)
