Los Angeles, March 1 (Ians) Actress Drew Barrymore has dashed film fans’ dreams of an ‘E.T. The Extra Terrestrial’ sequel by revealing that its director Steven Spielberg told her he will never make a follow up as he doesn’t want to be “greedy” or “water down” its impact.

She told E! News: “Steven Spielberg became like a father to me, and I remember sitting in his house one day and he said to me, ‘I will never make a sequel to this movie. And I really understood were he was coming from – (it was) something so beautiful and contained, and (he said) ‘I don’t want to be greedy and water it down in any way.'”

Drew added that despite working in the showbiz industry since she was 11 months old – when she appeared in a puppy ad – she will always feel like an outsider, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
