But for the forest scenes at the beginning and end of the movie – when E.T. is stranded on Earth, and later when he reconnects with his spaceship to fly home (say it with me: “I'll be right heeere”) – Spielberg ventured to the dense redwood forests of Northern California, near Crescent City.


Are sequoias and redwoods the same?
