[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetlejuice

the film is a sequel to Beetlejuice that takes place 26 years after the original film. Currently, they have Tim Burton on board (although his capacity is currently unknown) and hope to get Michael Keaton back for the sequel, but that they haven't approached him yet because the script is still being written. It is unknown if any other cast members from the previous film will return

didnt even know this was happening :amazed:

Looks like this is finally happening.


CinemaCon is underway in Las Vegas and while Sony kicked things off with a big presentation last night, it's Warner Bros. stepping up to the bat today. The studio is not messing around in making sure theater owners of the world know they have a lot coming down the pipeline, including two entries in beloved franchises. For one, the studio has indeed confirmed that "Beetlejuice 2" is in development and will seemingly, finally happen after nearly 35 years. Meanwhile, "The Conjuring 4" has been given a title that may be telling of where that series is headed.



During a sizzle reel that played to open up WB's panel, a title card for "Beetlejuice 2" was shown. No further information was revealed right away, but if they bothered to include that in the presentation right up front, it's clear that this project is finally headed in the right direction (for those who want to see a sequel, anyway). For what it's worth, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav made it clear that the company is going to lean into franchises in the future, and this is a sequel that has been stuck in development hell for ages.

We've also heard rumblings of this coming together behind the scenes, with "Wednesday" star Jenna Ortega said to be in talks to star. Will Tim Burton return to direct? Will Michael Keaton return as the title character? These questions may well have answers very, very soon. But for now, we wait.

Good as the First Film is Great.

[Will Michael Keaton return as the title character?]


If he likes the role
I think he could take the Lead Role
again.

The trailer for this might be released tonight, as Michael Keaton and Catherine O'Hara are said to be making some sort of an announcement while they present an award during tonight's Oscars.

Love Beetlejuice

[Ray.]

Finally. I was starting to feel like Beetlejuice in the waiting room.

…finally…

…it doesn’t give us much, it’s a mini trailer….but a great cast and it’s enough to draw us in….


…I always get a bit nervous when it’s a movie I’ve loved so much with the first one and then a long, long time in the making of the sequel…and hoping it lives up to…

[arista]

Clever to use that village toy set
again.

[LaLaLand]

This has massive potential (and the legacy of a fantastic movie to potentially ruin) so I really hope it delivers!

[Vanessa]

I hope they have a good story for it.

[GoldHeart]

I hope they have a good story for it.

I won't hold my breath, but we'll see.

[Ray.]

Even from just that teaser, you can tell that Keaton hasn't skipped a beat. For me, seeing him back as that character will be worth it even if the movie as a whole isn't quite up to snuff. But I'm not big on legacy sequels anyway, so I'm already well-versed in the art of contenting myself with the original and pretending the sequel doesn't exist. If it does end up being a disappointment, my basic attitude will be: well that's a shame, but at least the Keaton parts were great - basically the reaction that most superhero movie fans had to The Flash. Though I actually enjoyed The Flash for the most part, even if it was led by a confirmed child groomer like Ezra Miller.

[James]

Another trailer.

This might do well.

[Niamh.]

Can't wait for it

[arista]

Looks great

Thanks for the Clip

The title "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice" almost certainly suggests they'll be a third movie.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice - released in another 36 years, with an elderly Winona Ryder battling Michael Keaton's actual stuffed corpse brought to life by complex animatronics.

I'd watch it.

[Ray.]

Did anyone here actually get around to seeing this? I'm finally gonna knuckle down and see it tomorrow. Hopefully it meets and surpasses my admittedly easy to please expectations. I was rewatching the first one recently. Still a classic.

I think our Vanessa might have seen it. She mentioned it recently that she wanted to.

It's enjoyable and good fun, but inevitably not as good as the original.

That's my extremely brief review.

Sounds about what I'm expecting. :laugh: Still, your review is a nice change of pace from every legacy sequel nowadays being described as either better than the original, or in most cases, best since the original. :rolleyes:

[Ray.]

Saw it today. At first I wasn't sure I was really feeling it, but in the end it a lot of fun and much wackier and more off the wall than the original. Having said that, it was also very indulgent in all the wrong areas. That wedding sequence with the characters miming the song was interminable. Seemed to go on forever. And just what the hell was the point of Monica Bellucci's character? Completely superfluous to the plot. In a lot of ways I think the perfect time to do a sequel to the original was back in the early nineties.

[Barry.]

I liked it, it flew so fast. I liked the pace and I liked the characters.

[user104658]

And just what the hell was the point of Monica Bellucci's character? Completely superfluous to the plot.

I have to agree with that, the aesthetic of it was fine and certainly fit but as a plot point it felt like a chunk of some other draft of the film that was scrapped but for some reason this ended up being left in :shrug:. It had nothing to do with anything and that runtime would have been better put into a longer "build up" of family stuff before delving fully into the chaos.
