Stranded on Earth Uncovers the Dark, Untold Origins of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

Stranded on Earth by Max Evry
Before E.T. phoned home, Steven Spielberg was developing something far darker. Acclaimed film historian and author Max Evry (A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune—An Oral History) takes readers behind the scenes of one of Hollywood’s most unlikely creative transformations in Stranded on Earth: How Night Skies Became E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, a new nonfiction book tracing the evolution of Spielberg’s abandoned alien horror project Night Skies into E.T.

Part film history and part investigative chronicle, Stranded on Earth traces Spielberg’s fascination with UFOs and extraterrestrial storytelling from his teenage feature Firelight in the 1960s through the phenomenal success of 1977’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind. From there, Evry ventures into the ambitious—and ultimately doomed—development of Night Skies, the dark science-fiction horror film that would take Spielberg’s alien mythology in a terrifying new direction.
