E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial/Trivia: Difference between revisions

* [[Deleted Scene]]: [[Harrison Ford]] filmed a scene as the principal of Elliot's school, set after he frees the frogs, which Spielberg cut because he felt Ford's presence was too distracting.

* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Filmed in chronological order so that the cast could become genuinely attached to the E.T. character. Young [[Drew Barrymore]], in particular, took it the hardest: she was genuinely frightened when she walked in on Eliot with E.T. in his room and in tears during his [[Disney Death]] scene.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: The first choice to play Gertie? [[Juliette Lewis]]. Her father made her turn down the role and Barrymore was cast instead.

** [[Stan Winston]] turned down the opportunity to work on ''E.T.''. He would regret doing so.
