Original ET The Extra-Terrestrial model could fetch nearly $1M at auction<br /><br />An original model of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is the showstopper at Sotheby’s 'There Are Such Things: 20th Century Horror, Science Fiction, and Fantasy on Screen' auction. The model of the gentle alien from Steven Spielberg’s 1982 hit is estimated to reach nearly $1 million. The model was designed and built by special effects artist Carlo Rambaldi, the visionary 'monster-maker' behind E.T., Dune, Alien, King Kong and other films. It is one of only three E.T.s used during the making of the 1982 classic. Standing at just over 3 feet (91.44 cm) tall, the model starred in the film’s iconic 'closet scene,' in which E.T. disguises himself among stuffed animals.<br /><br />REUTERS VIDEO<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br /> <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#ExtraTerrestrial<br />#sotheby
