Steven Spielberg first approached Rick Baker about doing the designs for E.T. while Baker was prepping for An American Werewolf In London (1981). Baker did a number of designs and tests before Spielberg became furious at Baker for requesting more time and more money after the initial story changed leading to a falling out between them for some time. Spielberg next approached Chris Walas, who was booked to work with David Cronenberg on Scanners (1981). Spielberg then approached Rob Bottin, who was working with John Carpenter on The Thing (1982). Spielberg finally went to Carlo Rambaldi, whom Spielberg had worked with on Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (1977). Rambaldi quickly took the job.
