The Big Picture Legacy sequels are all the rage in Hollywood these days, and they show no signs of slowing down. Although Vacation, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and The Exorcist: Believer didn't light up the box office, the success of legacy sequels such as Top Gun: Maverick and Alien: Romulus guarantees that studios' penchant for producing legacy sequels will continue, whether they are ill-advised or not.
Eventually, E.T. somehow hears Elliott's cries for help across the cosmos. He returns to Earth to save Elliott and his family, then banishes the evil aliens to another part of the galaxy. The evil aliens are mutants from the same planet as E.T., and they've been at war with E.T.'s race for decades. Ultimately, E.T. and the Taylor family share an emotional reunion, and the story ends much like the original, with the image of E.T. leaving Earth on his spaceship.
The Unofficial 'E.T.' Sequels Close While Spielberg decided against creating a sequel to E.T., there were subsequent adventures involving E.T. in other formats that offered continuations and new adventures with everyone's favorite friendly alien. First came the E.T. Adventure, which debuted at Universal Studios Orlando in 1990. Spielberg himself helped Universal Creative design and create the theme park attraction, where park-goers help E.T.
A sequel to E.T. was also published in book form in 1985, E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet. The book was written by William Kotzwinkle, who previously wrote the novelization of the original live-action feature. The Book of the Green Planet sees a lonely E.T. breaking the laws of his home planet so he can return to Earth and reunite with his friend Elliott, who is growing into a young man.
