On a similar note - Steven Spielberg has vowed never again to edit his films to make them more politically correct.
The Oscar-winning director said he “deeply regrets” altering a scene in his 1982 film E.T. to make it more suitable for family viewing.
Officials hunting the alien carried guns in the original movie but were instead shown holding walkie-talkies for a 20th anniversary DVD version.
Spielberg said he now plans to re-release the original version alongside the new when it comes out on Blu-ray marking its 30th anniversary.
He told the Daily Mail: “A lot of kids only know E.T. from the digitally enhanced version.
“So, in order not to traumatise that entire generation, I’ll probably come out with the old version and the enhanced version but sell both at the same time, for the same price, so you can make your choice.”
Earlier this week, Spielberg criticised modern film making, claiming there have been very few great movies made over the past two decades.
The 64-year-old, responsible for movies including Schinder’s List and Jaws, said there were not “not a lot of films” worth watching.
Spielberg is currently working on a film version of the theatrical hit War Horse which is due to be released in the UK on January 13.
