37 years ago, ET landed in theaters and in the hearts of moviegoers. Now, thanks to Xfinity, the ‘Extra-Terrestrial’ is back to bring everyone a nostalgic feelgood in time for the holidays.Comcast NBCUniversal is continuing the story of friendship by reuniting ET and Elliott – played by a grown-up Henry Thomas. In the story, the iconic characters from the Universal Pictures classic tell the updated tale of connection using technology from Xfinity and Sky. In a scene that will look familiar to the millions who have seen the original, a couple of kids hear a noise and search their back yard. There, they see the gangly arms of ET hiding behind a snowman. Turns out it's Elliott’s kids, and they bring their father out to reunite with his old alien friend. During the four-minute film, ET gets in touch with new technology, like VR headsets, speech-activated television remotes and Xfinity-powered tablets, along with having analog fun like tobogganing and watching classic Christmas movies on the couch as a family. Everything seems comfortable, until ET realizes he must go home again, but not before a bicycle trip across a moonlit sky.This story was made in connection with Universal Pictures, part of the Comcast family of companies, and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners (GSP).CreditsClient: ComcastBrand: XfinityAgency: Goodby Silverstein & PartnersClientSVP, Brand Marketing & Communications: Peter IntermaggioSVP, Brand Marketing: Todd ArataVice President, Brand Marketing: Dustin HayesSenior Director, Brand and Experiential Marketing: Rose HoldenSenior Manager, Brand Marketing: Kristen SmithSocialExecutive Director, Social Marketing: Nader Ali-HassanSenior Manager, Social Marketing: Beth McDermottSocial Marketing & Community Manager: Lacey KetchellAgencyCreativeCo-Chairmen: Jeff Goodby and Rich SilversteinChief Creative Officer: Margaret JohnsonExecutive Creative Director: Jim ElliottCreative Directors: Tristan Graham, Felipe Lima, Roger BaranAssociate Creative Director: Ricardo Uribe, Eduardo QuadraArt Director: Jennifer Fisher, Hans SchenckCopywriter: Anthony PagazaSocialCopywriter: Guy Olson, Sam DworkinArt Director: Neha Guria, Mike RodriguezDesignDesign Director: Ryan SelfDesigner: Benny Gold, Pedro ZuccoliniAccount ServicesManaging Partner: Leslie BarrettExecutive Group Account Director: Chad BettorAccount Director: Kirsten TsitsosAccount Manager: Lauren BerryAssistant Account Manager: Sara Jane StevensSocialAccount Director: Tom PowersAccount Manager: Katie FreedmanAssistan Account Manager: Sarah ThomasBrand and Communication StrategyPartner, Head of Brand Strategy: Bonnie WanPartner, Head of Communication Strategy: Christine ChenDirector of Brand Strategy: John ThorpeGroup Strategy Director: Katie CoaneCommunication Strategy Director: Maren SevertsonGroup Director Research Data & Analytics Strategist: Cassi HusainCommunication Strategist: Rosie KerstetterSenior Data & Analytics Strategist: Tony VinellaBrand Strategist: Madison CameronJunior Communication Strategist: Taylor BellProductionExecutive Producer: James HornerAgency Producer: Kateri McLucasAssistant Producer: Lily DurstonSocialExecutive Producer: Danielle RiccardiProducer: Megan MonticoneBusiness AffairsDirector of Business Affairs: Judy YbarraProduction CompanyCompany Name: Park PicturesProduction Company City: Los AngelesDirector/DP: Lance AcordExecutive Producer: Jackie Kelman Bisbee, Scott HowardProducer: Caroline KousidonisEditorial CompanyCompany Name: ExileEditing Company City: Los AngelesEditor: Kirk BaxterAssistant Editor: Zaldy LopezHead of Production: Jennifer LockeExecutive Producer: C.L.
