Now, that film has a trailer.
Dubbed Atari: Game Over, the film examines not only ET's successful excavation (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-04-27-that-et-atari-game-really-was-buried-in-new-mexico), but its creation along with why the people behind it were so confident it would be a success. The documentary is being directed by Zak Penn, who co-wrote The Avengers, X2, and is in the process of penning Pacific Rim 2.
Academy Award-winning producer Simon Chinn (Searching for Sugar Man and Man on Wire) and Emmy-winning producer Jonathan Chinn (FX's 30 Days and PBS's American High) are also on board through their multiplatform media company, Lightbox.
