The Pod People The Pod People (original title Los nuevos extraterrestres, literally "The New Extraterrestrials") is a 1983 French-Spanish science fiction film directed by Juan Piquer Simón. The film's original draft was meant to be a straightforward horror film about an evil alien on a murderous rampage, but the producers demanded script alterations in order to cash in on the success of Steven Spielberg's "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" by featuring a child and a cute, lovable alien. Director Simón was dissatisfied with the final result. The film was largely forgotten until 1991, when it was lampooned by B movie-mocking cult TV series "Mystery Science Theater 3000".
