"ET" Flies Back Into Theaters on October 3
Mon, September 10, 2012 As if it wasn't cool enough to have Raiders of the Lost Ark back in theaters this week, we'll be getting another Steven Spielberg classic back on the big screen when Fathom Events presents E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, playing in select theaters on October 3.
Like Raiders, which gets a box-set blu-ray release on September 18, E.T. will be coming out on blu-ray on October 9, so the re-release is to coincide with that. But Fathom does have some extra goodies planned for their screenings, which will include an introduction by Turner Classic Movies' Ben Mankiewicz with behind-the-scenes extra features and an interview with Drew Barrymore, who played little sister Gertie in the film.
This is a one-night only event, although there will be some matinee showings too, so the kids can see E.T. on the big screen for the first time (but on a school day? whose idea was that?!). I've seen E.T. in theaters five times - three in 1982 and twice during the 2002 re-release - and it's well worth it.
You can order tickets here, and don't forget to pick up the blu-ray edition on October 9:
