Director Steven Spielberg admits that he has regrets about removing guns and replacing them with walkie-talkies in his classic 1982 film E.T.
Director Steven Spielberg reflects on his regrets regarding the removal of guns from his 1982 film E.T. the Extra Terrestrial. The film follows a young boy named Elliott who comes upon an extraterrestrial, befriends him, and eventually enlists the help of his family and friends in getting E.T. back home. E.T. was an instant critical and commercial success, becoming the highest-grossing film of all-time for a period after its theatrical run.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT [Removing the guns] was a mistake. I never should have done that. E.T. is a product of its era. No film should be revised based on the lenses we now are, either voluntarily, or being forced to peer through. E.T. was a film that I was sensitive to the fact that the federal agents were approaching a bunch of kids with their firearms exposed, and I thought I would change the guns into walkie-talkies.
