In 2014, Rick Baker revealed an amazing series of behind-the-scenes images from his work on the “Night Skies” alien crew. “I was so excited to be working on this project, to be able to design different alien characters of the same race,” Baker wrote. The characters he created all bear a strong resemblance to one another (and to the future E.T.), while simultaneously expressing a range of personalities, from the cute, friendly Buddee to the sinister Skar.

The resulting screenplay by John Sayles was titled “Night Skies.” Ryan Lambie on Den of Geek describes the script as “grisly yet sometimes quirkily funny.” The family is visited by five bug-eyed, short-statured aliens: “Hoodoo, who appears to have hypnotic powers. A pair of mischievous creatures named Klud and Squirt, a young, wide-eyed alien named Buddee, and the scariest member of their group, Skar, who can mutilate with a touch of his long, bony fingers.” The story centers on the family’s children, a teenage girl and two younger brothers.

With the “Night Skies” script in hand, Spielberg and Cobb began storyboarding it. They worked well together—Cobb was gratified to see that Spielberg appreciated his ideas, and together they built on Sayle’s script. Then Cobb got an unexpected offer: Spielberg asked him to direct it.
