The Gang’s All Here
Michael Keaton’s been quite the superhero lately, but now he’s stepping back into Beetlejuice’s shoes, or should we say, his striped socks! With Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara reprising their iconic roles, and new faces like Jenna Ortega and Justin Theroux spicing things up, this sequel is brimming with excitement.
The story’s premise is still under wraps, but we know it kicks off with a mysterious death. Tim Burton is keeping his lips sealed on the details, but one thing’s for sure: Beetlejuice is about to stir up some major trouble. And who knows what’ll happen next with new stars like Monica Bellucci and Willem Dafoe in the mix?
A Trip Down Memory Lane
Tim Burton and Michael Keaton have been mulling over a sequel for ages, but they wanted it to be just right. Remember those zany ideas like Beetlejuice in Hawaii? Well, they’ve settled on something way better, focusing on the Deetz family, especially Lydia. It’s all about connecting the past with the present, and even Burton is getting all nostalgic about it.
“I so identified with the Lydia character, but then you get to all these years later, and you take your own journey, going from cool teenager to lame adult, back and forth again,” Burton told Entertainment Weekly. “That made it emotional, gave it a foundation. So that was the thing that really truly got me into it.”
A Crafty Comeback
Burton’s bringing back some old-school movie magic with stop-motion animation, giving the film that classic Beetlejuice vibe. He’s determined to make this sequel feel as handmade and heartfelt as the original, proving that some things get better with time.
Why Not Beetlejuice 2?
After more than three decades, “Beetlejuice 2” just didn’t cut it for a title. So, Burton went with a straightforward choice, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” to mark this new chapter. Just be careful not to say it three times, or you might get more than you bargained for!
Mark Your Calendars!
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is set to hit theaters on September 6. So, get ready for a wild ride with the ghost with the most. It will be a spooktacular adventure you won’t want to miss!
