In a recent interview, director Tim Burton revealed the reasons behind excluding Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis from the ‘Beetlejuice’ sequel. The actors, who portrayed the ghost couple Adam and Barbara Maitland in the original film, hold a special place in the hearts of fans. Burton explained that his decision to not bring back the characters stemmed from his vision for the sequel. The director wanted to explore new dynamics and narratives, focusing on the passage of time and generational relationships. ‘Beetlejuice 2’ will feature Michael Keaton reprising his role as Beetlejuice, alongside Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz and Catherine O’Hara as Delia Deetz, along with newcomers Jenna Ortega, Justin Theroux, and Monica Bellucci. The original ‘Beetlejuice’ was released in 1988 and followed a pair of quirky ghosts whose home was invaded by sophisticated New Yorkers.
