A Hollywood hit
Released this Fri 6 September, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, re-unites original cast stars Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, and Michael Keaton with a host of new faces and silver screen icons, and alongside them all, The Brain Tumour Charity’s celebrity supporter, Amy Nuttall.
The sequel continues the plot from Burtons’ much-loved 1980’s comedy-horror original. This time three generations of the Deetz family come together after a family tragedy with the eponymous Beetlejuice demon being accidentally summoned to cause chaos and dark mischief once again.
Director Tim Burton told press: “I tried to treat this movie like the spirit of the first movie, where we had a script, but there was a lot of improv that went on. I’m very lucky to work with people like Michael and Catherine that are very good at improv, so we just tried to do it in the spirit of that. We’d shoot quickly, and all the actors contributed. They really took it from the page and made it something else.“
