ET The Extraterrestrial 2 (ET 2 Sequel Movie Film Ideas)

Development of the ET The Extraterrestrial 2 Movie E.T. 2: By the end of 1982, the original ET The Extraterrestrial film was the most lucrative motion picture of all time created on a budget of around $ 10 million U.S. dollars. Universal Studios owns the intellectual property rights to ET The Extraterrestrial and immediately wanted to develop a second adventure based in the reality of the ET The Extraterrestrial universe.

However, director Steven Spielberg was at first reluctant to continue the story to his most personal film. After intense pressure from Universal Studios, Steven Spielberg allowed Universal Studios to hire various screenwriters to work out a continuation of the ET The Extraterrestrial plot.

Story Premise Behind ET The Extraterrestrial 2 ET 2: The basic idea for the ET The Extraterrestrial 2 movie was for the ET alien to return to Earth a few years after the conclusion of the first ET The Extraterrestrial film. Several script writers proposed different concepts, which involved ET saving Earth from an invasion by a hostile species of extraterrestrials, ET helping Earth avoid ecological disaster or ET leading to the disclosure to the citizens of Earth that alien entities are in fact real.

For reasons Steven Spielberg has never explained, none of these plot proposals were acceptable to Steven Spielberg. The creative development of ET The Extraterrestrial 2 became even more frustrating and time consuming than the nearly two decades it took for Steven Spielberg to finish Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Year after countless year passed and Universal Studios made no progress in getting ET The Extraterrestrial 2 filmed. After about ten years after the 1982 theatrical release of the ET The Extraterrestrial film, the basic idea for the sequel had to change because Henry Thomas, the actor who played the role of Elliott in the first ET The Extraterrestrial film, was no longer a child. Steven Spielberg refused to re-cast the Elliott character with a younger actor. Subsequent story ideas featured ET returning to Earth after many years when Elliott was an adult.

Eventually Universal Studios abandoned any hopes of producing ET The Extraterrestrial 2 E.T. 2. Universal Studios was reluctant to continue the story without the approval and involvement of Steven Spielberg. For 2002 (the 20th anniversary of the cinematic release of ET The Extraterrestrial), Universal Studios re-issued a special edition version of ET the Extraterrestrial to cineplexes around the world.

Apparently, this is the closest Universal Studios will ever get to having ET The Extraterrestrial 2 in theaters because Steven Spielberg currently has no interest in continuing the ET The Extraterrestrial movie franchise. The next film based on ET The Extraterrestrial won't likely occur until after ET The Extraterrestrial enters the public domain.

ET 2 Box Office Gross Potential of ET The Extraterrestrial 2: $ 450 million U.S. dollars in North America + $ 650 million U.S. dollars overseas internationally = $ 1.1 billion U.S. dollars total worldwide box office earnings
