[edit] | [hide]About E.T's Forest
E.T. Producer Kathleen Kennedy, a native of Weaverville, CA, told Spielberg that the Redwoods would be the perfect location for the film's opening and closing forest scenes. The company arrived at Crescent City in December, (1981), for several weeks filming, mostly on private land owned by Miller-Rellim Redwood Co. Kennedy was worried about the possibility of heavy rains, but Spielberg wanted to see breath and mist and haze of winter cold. But the rain that year was not too inconvenient -- when they completed shooting they wondered why they hadn't shot more of the film there. It turned out they filmed an additional scene of a dying E.T. face down in Little Mill Creek. The opening five minutes included the aliens gathering plants, interrupted by mysterious alien hunters played by 8 locals, with E.T. left behind as his fellow aliens fled in their space ship. The last 15 minutes of the film sees the return of E.T. and his new friends to the forest where they are followed by the alien hunters, but E.T. is able to say goodbye and escape in his spaceship.
