Drew Barrymore Truly Believed E.T. Was Real

The original cast of E.T. will be having a reunion on The Drew Barrymore Show. The film has had a special IMAX run and a new home release to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

We have been waiting for this one for a long time and we think it will be amazing. In the preview clip for Halloween Monday, we get a glimpse of how much Drew behaved around the alien. She told Dee Wallace and Henry Thomas that she believed E.T. was real.

You asked the wardrobe lady if you could have a scarf for E.T. because he was going to get cold, so you wrapped the scarf around.

Wallace said, "We found you over there, just talking away to E.T., and so we let Steven know." Steven put two guys in charge of keeping E.T. alive so when you came over to talk to him, he would be more than happy to respond to you. We can't wait to learn more once the episode airs and goes online on the Drew Barrymore website.

Don't forget to watch the clip below.

The 40th anniversary edition of the E.T. is now available in a number of formats.
