Beetlejuice Beetlejuice coming this fall
- Thread starter Steevy Maximus
- Start date
Is that really the title?
Is this going to end up being a trilogy? Or will Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, BEETLEJUICE be some kind of meta stage play or VR experience?
While the teaser reveals nothing, it sure does have a lot of memberberries. I wonder if it's Lydia's dad's funeral they're attending? I mean, you can't get Jeffrey Jones back.
I hope they manage to get Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin back for cameos, at least. Weren't they supposed to be stuck in that house for like 100 years or something, according to the Handbook for the Recently Deceased?

Would you prefer Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian Instead?
Delia finally found the number for some good exterminators.
I have to agree with the title, as it is basically one Beetlejuice away from summoning the ghost with the most into our world.
I mean, I wouldn't mind Gina Davis. But Alec Baldwin? You do realize we're not trying to make the cast and crew into actual ghosts, right?Is that really the title?

In a blink and you miss it frame Jeffrey Jones' face is on the tombstone.
I rarely go to the theaters anymore but I'll be there opening weekend for this. I'm not sure a sequel is necessary and am skeptical they'll be able to pull it off, but I've watched the original so many times since I was a kid so I feel compelled.
And yeah, Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin and their exploration of the afterlife were big parts of what made the first one so good. I get they're ghosts and shouldn't age which is kind of tricky 30+ years later, where as Beetlejuice you can at least sort of pretend a little bit behind makeup. But heck, figure something out. Beetlejuice looks 70 as a side effect of getting his head back to normal. Geena and Alec look old as some unforeseen consequence of the ceremony in the first movie. Everyone would be happy to just roll with the flimsiest excuse.
This could be neat. Nothing I would venture out to the theater for though.
I could even buy that as standard issue ghosts (not the forced-into-public-service type that are otherwise seen in the original film) they slowly age over the course of their 100 year haunting before moving on in pure spirit form to the actual afterlife.
Now that's a decent idea for where they went. Maybe volunteering to work one of those bureaucratic afterlife jobs is an alternative to the haunting/purgatory confinement, with time getting taken off for your public service.
I'm kinda surprised how on point that is to RGB's humor.
Good lord...can the world survive the scene chewing that Keaton AND Dafoe are bringing here?
EDIT: I do love the intentional "low fi" look they are striving for with the effects. Any other film would be lambasted for the effects, but in this situation, it gives that "unnatural" look that jives the feel of the film.
