  • last month
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Movie - Featurette - Astrid might be the new kid on the plot, but she is already proving she’s a Deetz through and through.

Beetlejuice is back! Oscar-nominated, singular creative visionary Tim Burton and Oscar nominee and star Michael Keaton reunite for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the long-awaited sequel to Burton’s award-winning Beetlejuice.

Keaton returns to his iconic role alongside Oscar nominee Winona Ryder (Stranger Things, Little Women) as Lydia Deetz and two-time Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt$ Creek, The Nightmare Before Christmas) as Delia Deetz, with new cast members Justin Theroux (Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi, The Leftovers), Monica Bellucci (Spectre, The Matrix films), Arthur Conti (House of the Dragon) in his feature film debut, with Emmy nominee Jenna Ortega (Wednesday, Scream VI) as Lydia’s daughter, Astrid, and Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (Poor Things, At Eternity’s Gate).

Beetlejuice is back! After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia's life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it's only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice's name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.

Burton, a genre unto himself, directs from a screenplay by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar (Wednesday), story by Gough & Millar and Seth Grahame-Smith (The LEGO® Batman Movie), based on characters created by Michael McDowell & Larry Wilson. The film’s producers are Marc Toberoff, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Tommy Harper and Burton, with Sara Desmond, Katterli Frauenfelder, Gough, Millar, Brad Pitt, Larry Wilson, Laurence Senelick, Pete Chiappetta, Andrew Lary, Anthony Tittanegro, Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg executive producing.

Burton’s creatives behind the scenes includes director of photography Haris Zambarloukos (Meg 2: The Trench, Murder on the Orient Express); such previous and frequent collaborators as production designer Mark Scruton (Wednesday), editor Jay Prychidny (Wednesday), Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood (Alice in Wonderland, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sleepy Hollow), Oscar-winning creature effects and special makeup FX creative supervisor Neal Scanlan (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and Oscar-nominated composer Danny Elfman (Big Fish, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman); and Oscar-winning hair and makeup designer Christine Blundell (Topsy-Turvy).

00:00Who's Beetlejuice?
00:02Don't ever say that name
00:04Beetlejuice. Ashton's typical team hates her parent
00:08Which is so strange because obviously Lydia is the coolest woman on the planet. Leave me alone
00:12She's dealing with the loss of her father. I think she holds a lot of resentment. So she kind of puts it on her mom
00:19Yeah, sometimes I think life is harder. I felt like I was seeing a younger version of myself only a hundred times cooler
00:27She's exactly who you would expect the child of Lydia needs to be. Pain and suffering are always inevitable. Where have you been all my life?
00:35It's entertaining to watch Lydia take the same crap from Astrid that I took from Lydia
00:41Stop torturing your mother
00:45Jenna she just got the tongue. She's so strong comedically. She's tremendous fun
00:50She just brings another perspective to it and she represents another generation, which is what the movie is about
00:56I feel a little tingle. I was scared of everything when I was younger
00:59I would have recurring nightmares of Beetlejuice where he would show up and offer me grape juice
01:04I find myself already feeling nostalgic for the experience. This is the coolest thing I'll ever be a part of
