Exactly after 36 years of fans waiting, I saw the original movie during the 90s and love it, the follow up to Tim Burton’s classic supernatural comedy is set to be released in cinemas. The first movie that came out in 1988 show the audience a world of chaos that is Beetlejuice a spirit that is called out by saying his name three times, its funny how this second iteration of the film has his name twice on it so a clear indicative that a third movie might be on the works just before jumping into this second iteration. It was a cultural hit, the cartoon itself was a success, mixing the whimsical with the dark side in a way that people all around the world found fascinating, back in the day there was no IMDB of RTT but they still manage to collect data now days showing an 82% acceptance from the audience and 85% from critics. Now Burton has revive the "Ghost with the Most" for another round of the after life comedy, the new film brings back some of the major actors from the first movie and also brings in new actors to the series. While waiting for this much awaited sequel, people have mixed feelings of joy and wonder on how Burton will be able to recreate the same kind of experience that the first movie gave to its audience and at the same time come up with new ideas, lets consider that back in the day there was a large following of kids watching the cartoon, we are all adults now but probably our interest have change drastically. In an attempt of attracting both the old and new audience the sequel is a combination of elements from the past and new ones.

Some of the new faces that will be seen in the new iteration include Jenna Ortega of the recent Netflix series Wednesday portrays the role of Astrid, the teenage daughter of the protagonist Lydia, she had to be born in the perfect time and era to catch twist two very gothic theme productions that fit her perfectly. Ortega really proved herself in Wednesday and her ability to play the dark and eccentric characters which is ideal for Beetlejuice.
Willem Dafoe is also on the cast as Wolf Jackson, a ghost detective in the afterlife, we all know Dafoe is a talented and a very versatile actor who has appeared in many films such as Platoon and Spider Man. Monica Bellucci is Delores, the mysterious wife of Beetlejuice, an Italian actress and model have worked in Hollywood as well as in European films, she gorgeous women, great addition that will attract a good amount of male audience to the film.
The cast for the new Beetlejuice movie is no joke, a very talented and versatile one, with Keaton comedy side, will be a new and innovative sequel of the popular movie, combining the spirit of the first part with the enthusiasm of young actors.

This is one of those movies that face a challenge the minute they decide to produce it with such a high successful predecessor, but this time the main cast is coming back and they are all very seasoned successful all star actors, the film has to confront is the need to be the successor of the highly praised original work while simultaneously being unique. That is why there is something to look forward to, with Burton as the creative genius and the OG cast combined with new and fresh faces.
Family drama and the development of the mythology of the afterlife can give context and substance to go with what is expected to be the humor and visuals, AI, CGI and special effects are going to be a key factor too. I have notice that online there are a few articles with enough reason to challenge Keaton and Burton, if they both still have what it takes to make this film a success, is not the first time for the audience and critics to have divided opinions, I would guess it was the same case on the first movie was not that warmly welcomed at first either, it was an adaptation of a cartoon. This entire situation is the perfect drama for something great, the king that is coming back to repeat and becoming and icon of comedy and gothic style movies.
