You can’t expect Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis to show up in Beetlejuice 2 no matter how many times you speak their names.
Recently, director Tim Burton gave an explanation for why the actors in the eagerly anticipated sequel, which opens in theaters on September 6, did not play the ghost pair Adam and Barbara Maitland from the first 1988 picture.
In the first movie, the newly dead couple uses Michael Keaton’s character, the titular ghoul, to scare off the yuppie family that moved in after them. However, chaos breaks out in the Connecticut home when Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder), the family’s death-obsessed teen, discovers the mischievous spirit.
“I think for me it was that I didn’t want to just check any boxes,” said Burton People“Even though they were such an amazing integral part of the first one, I focused on something else.”
In Beetlejuice After her father Charles (played by Jeffrey Jones) passes away, Beetlejuice Lydia goes home with her daughter Astrid (Jenna Ortega) and her boyfriend Rory (Justin Theroux). At the funeral, Lydia meets up with her stepmother Delia (played by Catherine O’Hara), and Beetlejuice makes a triumphant comeback.
The sequel describes how the pair discovered a “loophole” that let them escape, whereas the first movie made them haunt their old house.
Geena Davis, who is now directing Flash twice under Zoë Kravitz, recently provided a notion as to why the characters in Beetlejuice 2 do not return.
“No, I’m not. In April, Davis told Entertainment Tonight, “I’m not in the remake.”
“Our characters were forever stuck in the way they looked when they died,” the actress continued.
It’s simply been a minute, yet it feels like a long term. Beetlejuice on Wednesday At its worldwide finest at the start of the Venice International Film Festival, Beetlejuice was met with a standing ovation that lasted for more than four minutes.
Returning, Burton collaborated with Miles Millar to co-write and direct the screenplay. Willem Dafoe and Monica Bellucci are also featured in the sequel.
