    I’ll take, “Things that didn’t need a reboot, remake, or sequel” for $100, Alex.

    Oh wow, another remake cash grab for millennial nostalgia with no hint of any original plot or story line. Simply one “look it’s the person from Beetlejuice” shot again after another.

      This is more for GenX nostalgia. The oldest millennials were barely 7 when this came out and most probably didn’t see it until they were older.

        That’s why the nostalgia is for Millenials, they grew up watching this movie from childhood.

        Hey, if being interested in some semblance of original thought makes me a grumpy old man, then…

        get off my lawn!

        Since you like remakes:

        Ah hey, yet another remake money grab for millennial nostalgia without creativity. Just “ooh that guy from Beetlejuice” scene one after another.

    I can’t tell if it’s a straight remake using much of the original cast reprising their roles, or a sequel with much of the original cast reprising their roles.

    A sequel could be cool. A straight remake, using the original actors, seems weird. It’s like… Not even a remake. It’s just a reshoot. Decades later.

      Looks more like a sequel based on the daughter of Lydia. Which is interesting but looks really like it might be the same movie.

    I’ve seen Beetlejuice 167 times and it keeps getting funnier every single time I see it!

    Crap, I really wanted to like it, but the teaser was underwhelming (to say the least)

      I feel like this is exactly what movie trailers should be - short and quick to the point without revealing too much. Movie trailers have gotten so long that you could just connect scenes together.

      Its a Tim Burton movie in 2024. Underwhelming will be the best we can expect.

        I can’t argue with that point, but I think Michael Keaton is a great actor and could lift the movie, but the trailer didn’t excite me at all…

      They should’ve released a red band version complete with all the horn honkin’ f bombs they can pack in there.

    I’m actually optimistic on this one. It took them over a decade to get the right script to bring the actors back. I think there is hyper awareness to not screw this up so I imagine it’s at least ok. Look at the reboot of Ghostbusters (afterlife I think). That was a nice blend of nostalgia to keep us older heads happy and fun enough to engage the younger population. I am hopeful for the same with Beetlejuice.

    I worked on this in VT and got injured on my first day. 🤣. Looks like it’s going to be one of those victims of its own nostalgia. It’ll be cameos and callbacks, I’m guessing.
