Movies: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (Sep 6th, 2024)

[Osprey]

I wasn't looking forward to this because sequels made decades later are rarely (if ever) good, but this... actually looks promising?

It's directed by Tim Burton, scored by Danny Elfman and written by the creators of Wednesday. It also has Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara reprising their roles, with Jenna Ortega and Willem Dafoe joining them.

Smooth, not surprised that Ortega is playing in this. Perfect movie for her.

Community basically manifested this movie with one of the best running gags on tv

I'm looking forward to this one especially after hearing they only used practical effects to give it the same look and feel as the first movie. Michael Keaton looks great as Beetlejuice again......

I will see it, for sure.

I hadn't heard that. That's fantastic. Come to think of it, the trailer does feature what looks to be an actual scale model (not CG) town and that's probably partly why it evoked the original film for me. I wish that more movies would use models and practical effects as much as possible, especially when they're sequels to movies made without CGI.

I was telling my wife last night that they basically had no choice but to cast Jenna Ortega. How could they not cast her in this? It's just perfect for her.

It's amazing how perfectly Michael Keaton aged into the role. He didn't even need makeup this time around.

Michael Keaton looks great as Beetlejuice again......

That was one of my first thoughts as well. Slightly aged, but it's perfect for the character. Looks like he hasn't missed a beat!
