Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her teenage daughter, Astrid, accidentally opens a portal to the Afterlife. Jenna Ortega, Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Justin Theroux, and Monica Bellucci share why filming Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was an experience they’ll never forget. Tim Burton has said that the film will only be made if Michael Keaton returns to reprise his role. Keaton said in March 2014 that this is the only sequel he’s interested in making. The film is a reference to the “French physicist” Marie Skłodowska-Curie; she is, de facto, one of the most famous Polish scientists in history, often considered second only to Copernicus.. Beetlejuice: I think Dostoyevsky said… Then, fuck.. SPOILER: There’s a dedication in the end credits to Bob Skinner, who died in the film.. Starring in Late Night with Seth Meyers: Michael Keaton/Connor O’Malley (2024).

For some reason, people are bombarding this film with reviews. I don’t know why. This was a competent and clever sequel that lives up to its predecessor in almost every way. It helps that most of the original cast is back, as well as a few welcome new faces. It’s also nice to have Tim Burton back in the director’s seat. He managed to keep the feel of the original and translate it enough to keep it stylish without feeling like a boring rehash. Good job, Tim! My only real gripe with the movie is that it takes a while to get to all the Beetlejuice storylines. Yes, there is a lot of backstory to cover between the original and the present, but some of it could have been condensed into shorter segments. Overall, it is a faithful continuation of the original with all the crazy and weird stuff that the original has. Even if it takes a while to get going, once it does, you will be hooked. If you weren’t a fan of the original, this one won’t change your mind. However, if you were a fan and want more backstory, you can’t go wrong with this unnecessary but welcome sequel. 4 Bobs out of 5.
