“It was a really difficult victory”-Steven Spielberg about what you had to prevent science fiction et et on a continuation

There could be an ET continuation, but fortunately her director Steven Spielberg fought demanding to make sure that it did not happen.

I think we all know that it is quite sporadic, that continuations justify themselves. This is, of course, on even rarer occasions, they end better than the first! But mostly it is better to leave movies on one and do to save us all the heart. ET is one of such films in which I never imagine getting a continuation, but as it turns out at some point that they are wanted. “It was a really difficult victory because I had no rights,” said Spielberg in relation to preventing continuation ET during a conversation as part of the TCM Classic Film Festival: New York Pop-Up X 92NE. (By The Hollywood Reporter).

“I had some rights before ET, but I didn’t have many rights. I did not have what we call “freezing”, where you can stop the studio from continuing, because you control the freezing in the case of alterations and other auxiliary applications of IP. The director continued to explain that “he just didn’t want to do a continuation.

The world would probably be a deserted wasteland, if we got a continuation, so let’s be grateful to Spielberg at this particular point. In addition, I am sure that he earned more than enough money, considering that it was once the best -paid film of all time.
