Scenario
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 Beetlejuice was an experience they’ll never forget.. Tim Burton has said that this film would only be made if Michael Keaton would return to reprise his role.
Beetlejuice: I think it was Dostoevsky who said
Keaton said in March of 2014 that this is the only sequel he’s interested in doing.. Lydia informs Astrid that Rory wants to get married at midnight on Halloween night. That would make it November 1st, as midnight is the start of a new day, and thus it would no longer be Halloween..

It’s fun to see Michael Keaton reprising one of his most famous roles
As a big fan of the original, it pains me to say that the long-awaited sequel is a dull, scattered mess. There are too many storylines unfolding in this movie and not all of them are interesting enough to make us care. He slips back into that striped suit like he hasn’t missed a beat.
By then, it’s too lateThe original Beetlejuice was perfection
But the movie doesn’t really come alive (or become undead?) until the last third of the film. That’s when the pace ramps up and the laughs start flying in rapid-fire fashion. The sequel is a good example of why people say perfection is something you shouldn’t mess with.
