Trivia:
Barry is shown to be surprised by the extraterrestrials. Director `~943~` had two crew members hide in boxes off camera, one in a clown suit and one in a gorilla suit. One popped out, then the other as the cameras rolled, catching young `~13697~`'s bewildered reaction. Spielberg then whispered to the gorilla to remove his mask, eliciting a smile from Guffey. The small aliens in the film were played by local girls aged between 8 and 12 years old. Girls were used instead of boys because `~943~` felt that they moved more gracefully. The iconic five-note melody was a chance arrangement that both `~945~` and `~943~` happened to like out of hundreds of different permutations. `~15508~` auditioned to play Veronica. SPOILER:`~943~` has confessed that if he had a chance to make this movie today, Roy would never have abandoned his family to go to outer space. Source: "Spielberg on Spielberg", 2007, TCM.:SPOILER `~99~` was so impressed by `~13697~`'s performance that he wanted him for the role of Danny Torrence in !~shining~!~The Shining~!. `~13697~`'s performances were so good that they only ever had to do one or two takes of each shot he was in. He became known as One-Take Cary on the set, and `~943~` had a t-shirt printed up for him with the phrase written on it. It is possible to see an upside down R2-D2 in part of the large spacecraft that flies over Devils Tower. During the dinner scene just before Roy piles on the mashed potatoes, you can hear the little girl say, "There's a fly in my potatoes." This was unscripted and almost caused the rest of the cast to laugh. The scene was kept as-is. `~13694~` was continually trying to improve his English during production, and he was self-conscious of his heavy French accent. When he delivered the line "They belong here more than we" (after he learns the Army plans to dust the mountain with nerve gas), several crew members thought that he had said "Zey belong here, Mozambique." Several T-shirts were printed with this quote as a joke. When he heard about this, Truffaut supposedly burst out laughing. `~943~` mentioned on a laserdisc documentary for !~th_et~!~E.T.~! that Truffaut later used a variation of the line in a congratulatory telegram after !~th_et~!~E.T.~! was screened at the Cannes Film Festival. The telegram to Spielberg read, "You belong here more than me." `~943~` had approached `~6211~`, `~4826~`, and `~6790~` for the role of Roy Neary. `~1668~` was also considered. McQueen turned the role down because he said he wasn't able to cry on film. Opened in the same week that !~th_wars_4~!~Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope~! overtook @%Jaws%@ to become the biggest blockbuster of all time. `~13694~`'s English was not strong. In order to get through some of his scenes, he stuck pieces of paper with his lines on them on various objects where he could read from them but the camera would not pick them up. In one case, as he arguing stands face to face with an Army officer (who has his back to the camera), he is in fact reading his lines off a card pinned to the man's chest. (He had shown the same trick being used with an actress who was having trouble with her lines in his own @%Day for Night%@, in which he played the director of the movie-within-the-movie.) The `~945~` score was created before the film was edited. `~943~` edited the film to match the music, a reverse of what is usually done in film scoring. Both Spielberg and Williams felt that it ultimately gave the film a lyrical feel. Actors `~Lino Ventura~` and `~Yves Montand~` were considered for the role of Lacombe. According to the book @%Reel Gags%@ by `~Bill Givens~`, The Grateful Dead singer `~Jerry Garcia~` was an extra during the scenes in India, and he can be seen in a crowd shot. Lacombe is `~13694~`'s only acting role in a film that he did not direct.
