"We were all going to be able to go to E.T.'s home and see how E.T. lived. But it was better as a novel than I think it would have been as a film."

E.T. is one of the most beloved movies ever made, so it's probably for the best that no foll🙈ow-up ever released that might've ended up tarnishing that legacy.
