After a family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by 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 share why filming Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice was an experience they’ll never forget. Tim Burton said he would only make this movie if Michael Keaton returned to reprise his role. Keaton said in March 2014 that this was the only sequel he was interested in making.. The film references the “French physicist”; Maria Sklodowska-Curie; she is actually one of the most famous Polish scientists in history, often considered second only to Copernicus.. Beetlejuice: I think Dostoyevsky said… Later, the damn… SPOILER: There is a dedication at the end credits to Bob the Skinner, who died in the film..

The acting was good. But there were so many stories. And none of them had enough time to fully develop. Either story could have been the focus of the entire film. Every story was rushed and ended so quickly. It’s really unfortunate. And they focused too much on Lydia’s father. Honestly, they didn’t even have to address the fact that he wasn’t in the movie. The real-life actor is a sex offender, so why discuss his character? It didn’t add anything to the film. There are also a lot of ghosts from part 1 that I felt should have been in this sequel – just use makeup and special effects like they did for Beetlejuice. Or reformulate them if you don’t want them to look aged. Also, I almost walked out in the first hour. It was boring. The movie didn’t get good until the second hour.
