What is interesting is that Spielberg went with a Korean Company over Apple a US Company for his phone sign off.
The Blu ray movie is being mastered in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio, and will contain a newly mastered 7.1 channel DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack. The package will include both a Blu-ray and HD DVD version of the film, as well as access to an Ultraviolet Digital Copy.
The best scene has got to be ET trying to phone home by stabbing his glowing finger on to the touchscreen of a Galaxy S3.
Spielberg has also reinstated all the bits of E.T. that were missing from the DVD version of the movie. This includes the change he made to the police holding guns, which were replaced by walkie talkies a few years back when the the moral police stepped in.
