It isn't how I see it while reading or thinking about the story and it confuses it all.<br />On the other hand, it would reach so many more people.<br />Love the books- I can see the movie in my mind and doubt anyone else is seeing the same thing.

As with so many other adaptations, the screenwriter might take a little license by bringing in elements from the later books in the series, but I think one big blockbuster would be the way to go. It should not have too much computer generated crap in it, either; just enough to satisfy the teenagers. The movie version should display the adult theme of Close Encounters and the character development of E.T., with plenty of the captivating magic of both.Floyd M.
