Drew Barrymore and director Steven Spielberg are in talks to make a sequel to the 1982 Hollywood classic "ET: The Extraterrestrial" reports WENN.

Barrymore is apparently anxious to resume her role as Gertie Elliot, but only if Spielberg, who directed the first film, agrees to oversee the project. According to reports the sequel will see ET return to a now grown-up Gertie, desperate for help saving his family from extinction.

"Drew has spoken to Steven about it," a Hollywood insider said. "Although he thought she was joking at first, he's actually giving it serious thought. Drew thinks the world needs another feelgood movie like ET right now and she's prepared to work with Steven to make it happen."

Thanks to 'Ant' & 'Bazza1977'.

Sigh. As much as I adore the original, and as much as I think Spielberg is highly talented, I don't like the sound of this. The story sounds ok I guess, but is it necessary for him to resume the past? I'd much rather see him come up with something new than see this happen :sad: I guess its the way of Hollywood these days. It could be good, but I'd rather not have them find out lol Then again, it could be kickarse and I'd have to eat my words
