Will Beetlejuice 2 recapture the magic of the original?

Why Tim Burton's sequel looks promising

More than 35 years have passed since the release of Beetlejuice, but love for the movie remains strong. The original currently has a critic score of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the audience score not far behind at 82%. Although Burton has made several popular films since Beetlejuice, including Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood and Corpse Bride, the 1988 film remains a highlight of his career. With the original standing the test of time so well, it's certainly fair to wonder whether the next sequel will be able to recapture that same lightning in a bottle.

O elenco de Beetlejuice Beetlejuice é um dos motivos para estar animado com o novo filme, com Keaton, Ryder e O'Hara retornando. Ortega também, graças ao seu papel principal em Wednesday e na franquia Scream, tornou-se conhecida por aparecer em projetos com temática de terror. Além dos novos personagens interpretados por Bellucci e Theroux, Willem Dafoe também aparece no filme como um falecido astro de ação de um filme B servindo como policial na vida após a morte.

As Keaton previously attested and as was revealed in the film's last look, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is also returning to the cinematic practice that gave the original such a unique visual style. This old-school movie may help give the sequel a look and tone that not only feels nostalgic, but also helps make everything more tactile and real. It remains to be seen whether Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will reach the same heights as the original, but the latest images are certainly a promising sign.
