Jenna Ortega Beetlejuice Beetlejuice interview with Catherine O'Hara and Michael Keaton

the coolest Trio of relatives has ever been in a film that's great I think that's all them really I I remember Tim asking me and just going and I sat and I met with Winona and we were talking and she was talking about how exciting it was that it was going to be your daughter and I was like H and then I shot with you and like was a good idea no very very cool I'm going to say say her to say things like that cool I'm going to say 33% for all three of you I can't decide you're all amazing I want to be like when I start over I want to be reincarnated and then be like you I think we all do just just an icon um so whoa oh that's so sad to even question but first I I thought him honestly was what his name rzed that his name yeah oh my God I love him that's the first thing I thought what an incredible actor sorry is RZ the text version of Charisma it's short yeah basic language based on text yes right Nate Nate what you it can be anything Fascination alienation just anything just n such a little part of the word the R so oh I think one of the most iotic cultural references in the original movie is the hambur for the recently deceased and I um I was so pleased to see it make a comeback in this movie set of a handbook of your favorite memory from working on this movie what would you put in it a lot of the videos that we watched leading up to the I was going to say that the whole church thing yeah yeah yeah oh there's so many shots from as there there there so many shot in the movie good 10 minutes or something yeah a 30 minute cut of the day that's a big scrapbook full of yeah the snaps like everything I know yeah it's becoming your thing yeah we'll see what they say when they watch it cuz I don't know the first time I saw that I didn't know how tow a book about that yeah a handbook for the dancing dance challenged well except yeah no we're good dancers what am I saying I'm a terrible so yeah who told you that oh it's evident I don't think we look like dancers but nobody should ever tell you when they can't dance no yeah hey yeah I'm writing an email to brat as we speak I think if anyone deserves a brat do it is you right thank you you should that would be so cool that would be so cool you know what brat should do I know they don't do it but they should make it like malleable you should be able to like take the eye out or you know like add the knife in or take Sabrina's arm off you know that don't do that for yours yours will be the first that is v j will take of brat Stone yes removable eyes yeah yeah really and cool clothes oh yeah yeah yeah I mean look at you your Tom Brown number you lady I think that's kind of mean think you're mean and you can't dance like the most clever women you've ever met in your oh there you go her wit oh go on it's legendary it genuinely is enough about me I've never seen anything like it before actually get out of town no I'm not going to say nice things about you now you're asking ask no I'm not asking towards you I don't want to hear but then you want to do it for other people it's unfair because you're just really cool you are you're wonderful we're done we're done okay in Venice photographers were yelling the sunglass thing is is really lovely private and you're really nice with the cameras on yeah why don't you say some of the things you say to me when there's no camera and sound I went to like an opening thing of that um it was yeah one of the um most surreal moments of my life I think this probably tops it it's got a lot of good sad songs do still I dream of it is just amazing right definitely more pressure but I also like to think about it because I mean Beetlejuice was only Tim's second movie right it must have been such a strange conversation to be okay so there's this Peewee PE Big Adventures gu totally dropped out of school to make some money so I could go back and I started working at the in in this little public television station in Pittsburgh doing anything I could anywhere you know a public station then shoot these little 16 mm films and I was one a crew so i' set up a couple lights and then needed to walk by and say something I said a few times but oddly at the beginning I didn't I mean I I kind of off the bat I went boom and I got asked back in New York and me and Larry David and I just met him yeah you did stand up oh man now I really feel like a journalist you um comedy drama do you is there anywhere your heart lies more or is it really just dependent on the character yeah it's hard though I think I cuz no one is aware of whether or not I'm being serious see this me pretending that it's not happening because you figure well if I give in to really like laughing no it gives too vulnerable often times it's credit maybe it's that maybe it's like a swallowing of I can't let them know yeah yeah so what's that about I'm not entirely sure you like that when you're little little it it was it's only in I've really gone inside myself in recent years maybe it's just like insecurity or um I think also being a young adult for the first time and feeling the weight of the world and responsibility and my career isn't a very just feels the pressure feels more substantial I'm also an immense overthinker so I think that it you're going to pass through it you're going to like have to come out the other end of it but I mean I got a lot to say about that so when you got the call you already knew hey you know something I just remembered um yesterday as well I remember auditioning for Dumbo I actually auditioned for Dumbo really I was like 14 or something like that and I was so excited I couldn't believe that Tim was making a movie it had been a minute I was like a man this this would just be no swinging of the arms perfect posture no blinking you know like it was whole it's true I didn't think about that it's actually harder isn't it to play a character that's been done two three four times before I wouldn't say that it's harder cuz I don't I can't think of Beetle Juice I can't compare anyone to Beetle J it must have been such a strange conversation to be okay so there's this Peewee PE Big Adventures Guy totally know what he was talking about I mean he was trying to explain it to him it wasn't bad it was actually interesting a few days go by and I had another meeting I just know this guy is something and he had said a couple things that gave me an idea like he's born he's from any any time period or is of no time fun to walk on a set isn't it yeah oh it's unlike anything you've ever seen before it was the first time I had ever done coverage and been told to put like put a slight Bend in my left knee so that I was straight It's oddly messy yeah which is so funny considering the the name and stat and and leg for the most part you know he likes to keep it short and quick the first time I met with him it was 5 minutes long yeah we exchanged almost almost nothing and there were some warnings on sets that I've worked with him where he just he doesn't even say much he just shows me the the image we strangely have a very um similar sense of humor from from it everything else is just kind of a waste what's the thing you said I'm still open for interpretation I realize that I in fact this person am open for other other people's interpretation of me that's wild it's a phase you know I mean I ain't going to last is it unrelatable or I feel like sometimes I have to speak differently or carry myself differently in order to assimilate myself because I do want to connect and I I I do have some people that um I have been able but it's it's very few and far between honestly a majority of my friends that are my age I did I've known since I was four but only because they know it means something to me they don't really care same thing with my family like none of my my siblings really that's very healthy care yeah I got luy like they're respectful of it but it's not like that yeah like the Press of it all yeah oh yeah yeah when you're having to do that you inviting people to come watch it you could feel it even from crowds occasionally the kind of like tension or or um I don't know it's very easy for things to become misconstrued or you know or blown out of proportion yeah or they love you and then they hate you and then they love you again that's why you can't really yeah if I follow go bad and then they'll get good get worse and then it goes fast f show
