BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE
The Juice is loose, and moviegoers were ready! Beetlejuice Beetlejuice raked it in at the box office shattering expectations for the long-awaited sequel. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is releasing the new sequel on 4K, Blu-Ray, DVD, and digital this week for movie lovers to add to their collection.
Michael Keaton slips back into the title role as if no time has passed in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Rumors of a sequel have been gestating for at least a decade now. Patience was key, as I can’t imagine a better cast of new actors and characters to join in on the fun. The Deetz family is just as dysfunctional as we last left them. Winona Ryder’s Lydia Deetz still sees ghosts, and she’s turned that into a career as a psychic mediator and host of her own television series. Justin Theroux plays her boyfriend and producer, Rory, whose Earthy New Age ways seem a little off. Lydia’s daughter, Astrid (Ortega), is off at an arts school and basically wants nothing to do with her mom. The family must come together when Delia Deetz (O’Hara) informs Lydia that her father, Charles, has unexpectedly passed away. In the Afterlife, Beetlejuice runs an afterlife call center still pining over Lydia and afraid of his ex-wife, Delores.
Beetlejuice Beetljuice has the right creative team behind it as Danny Elfman’s score and the script, by the creators of Wednesday, bring you right back into this kooky world. Director Tim Burton and his creative team have gone back to what made the original so special by forgoing CGI and using practical set pieces, practice special effects and a gnarly hair and make up design to make this a seamless transition.
