Plot
After a family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River
Still obsessed with Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her teenage daughter, Astrid, accidentally opens the portal to the afterlife. Jenna Ortega, Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Justin Theroux and Monica Bellucci talk about why filming Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice was an experience they’ll never forget. Tim Burton has said that this film would only happen if Michael Keaton returned to reprise his role.
Beetlejuice: I think it was Dostoevsky who said
Keaton said in March 2014 that this is the only sequel he’s interested in doing. Lydia informs Astrid that Rory wants to get married at midnight on Halloween night. This would make it November 1st, since midnight is the start of a new day, and therefore it would no longer be Halloween..

🤔 The sequel just didn’t capture the magic of the original
Beetlejuice, especially Beetlejuice, and maybe Bob, were the only decent things about this sequel. The original Beetlejuice is legendary and I’m going to pretend this one doesn’t exist because, seriously, come on. The charm, wit, and unique style that made the first film a classic were missing.
Fans of the original will probably be disappointed
It felt like a cash grab rather than a true attempt to continue the story. It’s a shame because there was so much potential. Hopefully future projects will do more justice to the Beetlejuice legacy.
