Beetlejuice 2 Excitement Soars: Michael Keaton Can't Keep Tim Burton Sequel Praise Contained!
Beetlejuice fans rejoice! Michael Keaton has confirmed a sequel with Tim Burton at the helm After 35 years since the original release, Burton's decision to use practical effects has excited fans for what's to come Get ready for more spooky humor and iconic characters
Michael Keaton, star of Beetlejuice 2, has expressed his excitement about working with director Tim Burton again on the long-awaited sequel. The original film, released in 1988, was a hit with audiences thanks to its unique blend of supernatural comedy and its memorable characters, including Keaton's obnoxious "bio-exorcist" and Winona Ryder's strange and unusual Lydia Deetz. Despite the long gap between the original and the sequel, Keaton has reassured fans that the filmmaking process has been just like making the first film, with Burton returning to his "handmade" approach to crafting movies.
Tim Burton Going Practical Is Great News For Beetlejuice 2
Working on Beetlejuice is an experience filled with immense joy and thrill. We are following the same approach as the first movie, which makes it even more exciting. Picture this: there's a woman in the waiting room for the afterlife, who is literally using a fishing line to pull the tail of a cat to make it move. This detail is something I absolutely adore and want people to know about.
The original Beetlejuice stood out not only for the memorable performances by Keaton and Ryder, but also for its unique visual style that was entirely crafted from the mind of director Burton, without the use of modern digital effects. It's exciting to see Burton returning to his roots and embracing handmade techniques once again, especially after his recent CGI-heavy films like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland. While these movies were commercially successful, some argue that they lacked the same level of creativity that Burton's earlier works were famous for.
Keaton has emphasized that he always intended for Beetlejuice 2 to maintain the practical elements of the original. He recalled how he and Burton had discussed the idea of a sequel, agreeing that it needed to be done in a similar style to the first film. In order to bring Beetlejuice back to life, Keaton explained that they had to rely on improvisation and creativity. While it remains to be seen if they can recapture the magic of the original, all indications suggest that the sequel will be a crowd-pleasing return for the beloved character.
