Warner Bros. has set a release date for Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice 2.” Sadly, saying his name three times won’t summon the movie any earlier than Sept.
6, 2024.The sequel follows Burton’s 1988 horror comedy, which starred Michael Keaton as the titular character, a ghoulish “bio-exorcist” hired by a recently deceased couple (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) to rid their home of the pushy new humans who have just moved in (led by Catherine O’Hara and Jeffrey Jones). Of course, Baldwin and Davis end up connecting with the sensitive daughter of the overbearing couple, played by a young Winona Ryder.
Embraced for its offbeat sense of humor, inventive visuals (sandworms on Saturn) and music – both Danny Elfman’s unforgettable score and the Harry Belafonte songs on the soundtrack – “Beetlejuice” is a true classic.Plot details on the sequel are being kept under wraps, but Keaton and Ryder are expected to return. Burton’s “Wednesday” star Jenna Ortega is also in the film, supposedly playing Ryder’s daughter, with “Wednesday” creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar penning the script for the new movie.
(We talked to them on the eve of the writers’ strike and they were toiling away.)In the years since “Beetlejuice” premiered, it has lived on thanks to an animated series that ran from 1989 to 1991, a robust and ongoing consumer products program and a stage musical that premiered on Broadway in 2019 and became an unlikely sensation thanks to TikTok. A sequel for “Beetlejuice” has been in discussion since at least 1990, when Jonathan Gems, Burton’s collaborator on “Mars Attacks,” turned in a script called “Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian” that would become one of Hollywood’s most infamous unproduced screenplays.
The upcoming The Flash movie stars Ezra Miller, but many other big names are in the movie too.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Michael Keaton isn’t the only blast from DC’s past in Warner Bros.’ upcoming superhero tentpole “The Flash.” During an interview with Esquire Middle East, “The Flash” director Andy Muschietti revealed that none other than Nicolas Cage is making a cameo in the movie as Superman. It’s a shocking and full circle moment for comic book movie fans and Cage, who was cast in Tim Burton’s failed “Superman Lives” 25 years ago. “Nic was absolutely wonderful,” Muschietti said. “Although the role was a cameo, he dove into it…I dreamt all my life to work with him. I hope I can work with him again soon.” “He is a massive Superman fan. A comic book fanatic,” Muschetti added.
Aubrey Plaza has had an incredible year. The beloved actress and comedian starred in “White Lotus,” winning acclaim and award nominations for her performance. In a new interview, she discussed her work and called for Latinx diversity in media.

And, once again, she donned her trademark goth look with fringed black hair, black shirt and a pointy collar featuring white stitching.
Alec Baldwin has been criticised for a post about the conclusion of filming on Rust, with many calling it “tone-deaf”.In October 2021, while filming the movie on location, Baldwin was holding a Colt .45-caliber pistol that fired a live round, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.Baldwin and the movie’s armourer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, were then both charged with involuntary manslaughter, before the charges were downgraded last month.After production was halted, it recently resumed at the Yellowstone Film Ranch in Montana and wrapped this week.Taking to Instagram, Baldwin shared a photo of himself smiling with actor Patrick Scott McDermott, captioning the post: “Last day on the set of RUST with this guy. A very talented actor and lovely young man with a bright future ahead.”In the comments of the post, Baldwin was heavily criticised, with one saying it was in “horribly poor taste” that “they still moved forward with the film because “a human life was lost”.See the post here.Last month, Baldwin called for a lawsuit filed by the parents and sister of Hutchins to be dismissed.
Sophia Scorziello editor A new “Beetlejuice” chapter from Tim Burton is on the way, with “Wednesday” breakout Jenna Ortega joining stars from the original horror comedy. The film is a sequel to Burton’s 1988 classic about a family in their new home and the married ghost couple (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) trying to dispel them. The family’s curious goth teenage daughter, Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder), is the only human able to see the ghosts. After befriending them, Lydia soon finds herself mixed up in horrors and complexities of the afterlife. In 2013, Ryder addressed the possibility of a “Beetlejuice 2.” She told the Daily Beast, “It’s not a remake. It’s 27 years later. And I have to say, I love Lydia so much. She was such a huge part of me. I would be really interested in what she is doing 27 years later.”
