E.T. Sequel? "Never!" Says Drew Barrymore. But Why?

E.T. is one of the best-loved childhood films of all time, but Drew Barrymore reveals that a sequel is never going to happen. The film shot Barrymore into Hollywood stardom and she's been in the spotlight ever since. In this era of reboots, Barrymore says an E.T. 2 will never a priority in her busy schedule. Barrymore told Entertainment Tonight that everyone has moved on from that period of time. Also, director Steven Spielberg isn't always fond of sequels. Barrymore said, "He never wanted to make them, because he felt like what he did is just what it should be.”
