Academy Reconnects with “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial”

Beverly Hills, CA(RUSHPRNEWS) October 29, 2007 — “E.T. The Extra Terrestrial” is phoning home again, 25 years later. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will screen Steven Spielberg’s depiction of the heartbreaking, hopeful encounter between a diminutive alien visitor and two distinct groups of human beings, adults and children, on Thursday, November 29, at 7:30 p.m. at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.

Several members of the film’s cast and crew will participate in a panel discussion after the anniversary screening.

“E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” explores the intense relationship between E.T. and the young Elliott (Henry Thomas), in contrast with scientists’ relentless pursuit of the alien.

Campbell, Ben Burtt) and Visual Effects (Carlo Rambaldi, Dennis Muren, Kenneth F. Smith). It also received nominations for Best Picture (Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy, producers), Cinematography (Allen Daviau), Directing (Spielberg), Film Editing (Carol Littleton) and Writing – Screenplay written directly for the screen (Melissa Mathison).
