In the June 24th, 2001, edition of The New York Times, Steven Spielberg gave an interview where he revealed a few new details for his plans for the re-release of E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial as well as the DVD release.

"Even though his "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977) was going to be released only on a handful of 70-millimeter prints, Mr. Spielberg said he spent 17 weeks on the sound for it, almost as long as he spent shooting the film. Most of the country, at the time, saw the film with a monaural soundtrack. Only later, with videocassettes and now, with the release of the DVD of the film, can most people hear what he created.

And next year, he said, he intends to release a DVD version of "E.T." that will include, for the first time, a Digital Theater Sound, or DTS soundtrack. The emotional experience of seeing it with that enhanced sound, Mr. Spielberg said, will be qualitatively different."

Sounds exciting, and with the theatrical reissue of E.T. due in the early part of 2002, hopes are for a DVD release by the following Fall. Stay tuned.
