Line 18:
** [[Stan Winston]] turned down the opportunity to work on ''E.T.''. He would regret doing so.
** The book "E.T. from Concept to Classic" features many plot points and scenes cut from the script. One subplot from an early draft was to have a rival to Elliott named Lance who wanted to expose E.T. The spaceship was going to land in a parking lot, but it was changed to a forest because that sounded more magical, amongst many others.
** Spielberg mentioned once there was an idea for a sequel called ''Nocturnal Fears'', which would be a horror movie. Yes, ''a horror movie''. Supposedly, this [[Darker and Edgier]] continuation of the story would see Eliot and his family terrorized by far more malevolent aliens until E.T. returned to Earth to help his friends. Probably not a bad thing that this idea didn't get past planning stages.
* [[Word of God]]:
** [[Steven Spielberg]] stated that E.T.'s species is more similar to plants than any other creature and is genderless. Also, a series of trading cards from the 1980's list the family's last name as Taylor.
