Earth to Echo movie billboards...

"E.T. phone home", no wait, wrong movie.

But you can understand the confusion, as this ad creative for new science fiction movie, Earth to Echo, clearly evokes Spielberg's classic Extra-Terrestrial movie from 1982 - the outstretched glowing finger, the alien with big eyes, it's all very familiar.

In Relativity's Summer family adventure, four school friends must unite to save a stranded alien on Earth (the titular 'Echo'), after receiving a series of bizarre, encrypted messages on their phones (are you sure this isn't E.T.?).

These sweet Earth to Echo movie billboards were snapped along La Cienega Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue on June 12, 2014.

Let's hope this movie doesn't simply turn out to be another tired homage to a bygone age and that it can offer something fresh and exciting for a new generation.
