Steven Spielberg reportedly spent $100,000 on the 20th Anniversary re-release of the movie in 2002. The new version, released theatrically and on DVD, contained some additional scenes, small CGI enhancements of the E.T. puppet, and in the scene where Elliot and his friends escape from the FBI, the rifles held by the federal agents were digitally replaced with walkie-talkies. Spielberg stated that he always regretted using this scene in the first place, and that he would remove it if he ever re-issued the film. However, in 2011, he changed his mind again, stating that there would be no more digital alterations of his movies, and urging people to watch E.T. in its original, unaltered 1982 version. The Blu-Ray and UHD editions that were later released contain only the original theatrical version, and the 20th anniversary DVD version has since gone out of circulation.
