What is more, at a cost of about $1.5 million, he was cheap. As Spielberg points out, Marlon Brando gets about three times as much. And E.T. will earn his keep with the usual spinoffs: candy, dolls, T shirts, an alarm clock, a toy game to be made by Texas Instruments, whose Speak & Spell game is part of the device E.T. makes to re-establish contact with his spaceship.
