E.T.: The Extraterrestrial will be released on Blu-ray this year in its original version. What?, you say. Was there ever a different version. Yes, there was. When the film was reissued in 2002 for its 20th anniversary, Steven Spielberg, apparently having been influenced by George Lucas' constant tampering with Star Wars, decided to "improve" the movie by tweaking some CGI effects, adding previously deleted scenes and digitally removing rifles from the hands of the men who were hunting the lovable alien. (Spielberg replaced the weapons with walkie-talkies!) Now the director has issued a mea culpa and promises that the Blu-ray version will revert back to the original theatrical cut. For more click here
