Back in the late ’80s and early ’90s sequels to hit movies weren’t as linear as they are today. It was more like “let’s re-do the situation but in a different location.” Remember Hastighet 2eller National Lampoon's European Vacation? Til og med Aliens, as good as it is, follows a lot of the plot points of the original; people stuck on a ship, an android, a little girl in peril instead of a cat. So it makes sense that one of the most popular supernatural comedies of all time, Bille juice would follow the same pattern.

In 1991 Tim Burton was interested in doing a sequel to his 1988 original, det het Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian:

“The Deetz family moves to Hawaii to develop a resort. Construction begins, and it’s quickly discovered that the hotel will be sitting on top of an ancient burial ground. Beetlejuice comes in to save the day.”

Burton liked the script but wanted some re-writes so he asked then-hot screenwriter Daniel Waters who had just got done contributing to Heathers. He passed on the opportunity so producer David Geffen offered it to Troop Beverly Hills skribent Pamela Norris til ingen nytte.

Eventually, Warner Bros. asked Kevin Smith to punch up Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian, he scoffed at the idea, sier, “Didn’t we say all we needed to say in the first Beetlejuice? Must we go tropical?”

Nine years later the sequel was killed. The studio said Winona Ryder was now too old for the part and an entire re-cast needed to happen. But Burton never gave up, there were a lot of directions he wanted to take his characters, including a Disney crossover.

“We talked about lots of different things,” the director sa i Entertainment Weekly. “That was early on when we were going, Beetlejuice and the Haunted Mansion, Beetlejuice Goes West, whatever. Lots of things came up.”

Spol frem til 2011 when another script was pitched for a sequel. This time the writer of Burton’s Mørke Skygger,  Seth Grahame-Smith was hired and he wanted to make sure the story wasn’t a cash-grabbing remake or reboot. Four years later, in 2015, a script was approved with both Ryder and Keaton saying they would return to their respective roles. In 2017 that script was revamped and then eventually shelved in 2019.

During the time the sequel script was being tossed around in Hollywood, in 2016 an artist named Alex Murillo posted what looked like one-sheets for en Bille juice sequel. Although they were fabricated and had no affiliation with Warner Bros. people thought they were real.

Perhaps the virality of the artwork sparked interest in a Bille juice sequel once again, and finally, it was confirmed in 2022 Billejuice 2 had a green light from a script written by onsdag writers  Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The star of that series Jenna Ortega signed on to the new movie with filming starting in 2023. It was also confirmed that Danny Elfman would return to do the score.

Burton and Keaton agreed that the new film titled Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice wouldn’t rely on CGI or other other forms of technology. They wanted the film to feel “handmade.” The film wrapped in November 2023.

It’s been over three decades to come up with a sequel to Bille juice. Hopefully, since they said aloha to Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian there has been enough time and creativity to ensure Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice will not only honor the characters, but fans of the original.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice will open theatrically on September 6.

Kanskje det er fordi Eksorsisten feiret nettopp 50-årsjubileum i fjor, eller kanskje det er fordi aldrende Oscar-vinnende skuespillere ikke er for stolte til å ta på seg obskure roller, men Russell Crowe besøker djevelen nok en gang i nok en besittelsesfilm. Og det er ikke relatert til hans siste, Pavens eksorcist.

Hans fremmedgjorte datter (Ryan Simpkins) må finne ut om han er i ferd med å falle inn i sin tidligere avhengighet, eller om noe enda mer forferdelig skjer. "

Deadpool og Wolverine kan være tiårets kompisfilm. De to heterodokse superheltene er tilbake i den siste traileren for sommerfilmen, denne gangen med flere f-bomber enn en gangsterfilm.

Den Adamantium-infunderte X-Man har litt synd på festen når Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) kommer på scenen som deretter prøver å overbevise ham om å slå seg sammen av egoistiske grunner.
