Charlie's angel Drew Barrymore is anxious to resume her role as Gertie Elliot, but only if Spielberg, who directed the first film, agrees to oversee the project.

According to some reports, the sequel will see ET return to a now grown up Gertie, desperate for help saving his family from extinction.

Steven Spielberg did not make any official comments on the project but has recently stated that another ET would be out of fashion.
