Jenna Ortega & Catherine O’Hara Praise Tim Burton’s ‘Lopsided’ Vision

by

As a seasoned film critic with over three decades of viewing under my belt, I must say that the anticipation for Tim Burton’s latest masterpiece, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” has been palpable – and it certainly did not disappoint!

It’s undeniable – a Tim Burton film stands out distinctly as his own, and this is true for his eagerly anticipated sequel, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” As reported by stars Catherine O’Hara and Jenna Ortega, the unique director behind films like “Beetlejuice” (1988) and “Edward Scissorhands” offers his actors an array of practical sets to work on, a creative playground reminiscent of Picasso. Collaborating with Burton is also said to be a fun experience. When asked about the most “Tim Burton” element on the set of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” O’Hara replied (as reported by ComicBook.com):

“This entire setting encompasses his drawings, uneven flooring and walls, stunning visuals, live puppetry, and impressive in-camera effects. He provides a significant portion of the ultimate visual experience that can be achieved on a film set. “

In the sequel, Astrid, played by Ortega, who is Lydia Deetz’s (Winona Ryder’s character) daughter in the Beetlejuice family, contributed to the discussion.

1. “Absolutely, that was incredibly enlightening. It’s fascinating when actors discuss their process of getting into character by donning suitable costumes, makeup, and hairstyles, as it’s so revealing to see how they transform their movements.

4 decades after initially playing Delia Deetz in the initial supernatural comedy, O’Hara once more takes on this role. Regarding her director from the ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ movie, she had something to say.

He’s not only competent as a boss but also playful. He creates an atmosphere of excitement, making it seem as if he’s always asking, “How about this?” or “What are your thoughts on this?” in a friendly and engaging manner.

Some Beetlejuice Characters Are Noticeably MIA in Sequel

In Tim Burton’s eagerly awaited follow-up, Lydia Ryder and Delia O’Hara Deetz, along with newcomer Astrid Ortega, encounter the iconic ghost (Michael Keaton) once more. However, the 2021 film, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, doesn’t include some crucial characters from the original 1988 movie. This time around, the story unfolds as Lydia, Delia, and Astrid return to the Deetz residence, a haunted manor in the fictitious town of Winter River, Connecticut, to say goodbye to Charles Deetz (Jeffrey Jones), who has sadly passed away.

Without a doubt, the conspicuous lack of Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin’s characters, Barbara and Adam Maitland from the original “Beetlejuice” film, is keenly felt. Interestingly, Burton chose to explore a fresh dynamic for the 2024 sequel, opting to concentrate more on the Deetz family instead of the ghostly Maitlands. In an interview with PEOPLE, Burton expressed this intention.

In simpler terms,

The movie “Beetlejuice” is set to premiere in cinemas on September 6, with exclusive previews happening on September 4. Don’t forget to explore Regal’s unique and spooky popcorn buckets that come as a three-piece set: a Saturn Sandworm, a copy of the “Handbook for the Recently Deceased,” and Betelgeuse’s mysterious tombstone.

If you haven’t watched Beetlejuice yet, it’s currently streaming on Max. Also, don’t forget to watch the second official trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which is linked below:
