To celebrate the first ever
Blu-ray release of Steven Spielberg's film classic, E.T. and to coincide
with the film's 30th anniversary, Universal Pictures is proud to announce that
Sydney's Madame Tussauds is set to bring the film's most iconic character to
life for the first time.
The Extra-Terrestrial star will be immortalised in
Madame Tussauds’ signature wax at Sydney's Madame Tussauds on October 22, 2012. The Sydney activity will be part
of a global unveiling, which will see six locations (Amsterdam, Berlin, London,
Hollywood and Tokyo) also feature the beloved E.T. character.
All six E.T. figures
are being constructed simultaneously by a huge creative team at Merlin Studios
in West London, using a raft of reference photographs and footage from the film
to capture a perfect likeness.
