Beetlejuice 2 stars Willem Dafoe and Monica Bellucci REVEAL life on Tim Burton's eccentric set

Intro wow this this guy's in his Groove he he loves doing this evil saking evil once an actor always an actor recognize this puss never seen Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Trailer that chip before in my life or afterlife we doing thisle juice Beetle Juice Beetle Juice I'm need it upstairs B P down the fort Monica your entrance in this film Monica Bellucci on saying yes before seeing a script is one of the best definitely one of the most distinctive entrances I can think of in a film certainly recently how did you react when Tim first told you this was going to be your opening scene and what was that like to well he showed me some drawings and situations so I said oh my God this is going to be crazy but actually I said yes without reading the script because I was so confident and uh and I'm so so happy that I had the chance to be part of this amazing project and to play this character because for me she's dead but she's so alive she's mean but she's so comic and she's scary and mean but so emotional at the same time so there are so many facets about this character yeah and and that's I suppose in many ways the same for for your character for Wolf Jackson as well um what I mean obviously he's an actor or was an actor in his past life Willem Dafoe on laughing at himself did you kind of draw on any an actor obviously um did you draw on any of your own experiences or perhaps any of your friends and coars for sure I mean for me it's uh you know it's an opportunity to kind of uh make fun of myself make fun of actors you know um there's lots of jokes there uh who he is and his lack of self-awareness and his uh sense of self-importance is all there in the context of knowing he was an actor and in some ways he's still an actor and in terms of you know obviously the the set of a Tim Burton movie I imagine is a very magical place to be with a lot of imagination and collaboration and practical effects as well what's it like to kind of set foot on the set for the F for the first time for this film it's like being at an Life on a Tim Burton set amusement park because there's so many little jokes and different pleasures and you go through like if talk about uh uh the the the office I don't participate in this this has been created for me and I go and there's so much information there there's so much interplay there's so much good um it tells you what to do that that really strikes that strikes me that it's a complete world and then you fold into it and that's always a pleasure as an actor yeah for me too I mean it was so helpful to be in these beautiful sets to wear those amazing costumes and also my makeup I had 3 hours of makeup every day and uh and also I mean this is the Practical part but then you know you have to get into the emotion of in the feelings of this character so I thought she's like all of us you know she has emotional scars we all have emotional scars it's just the difference is that she she has real scars and I played with all those little things and uh she came out as a a Evil Soul evil and you know I had so much fun yeah and obviously the first beatle juice film is got such a massive following still you know people love love it and it was obviously a landmark film in Tim's own career as well so with The pressure of making a Beetlejuice sequel that in mind was there a kind of certain pressure or did you sense a pressure on Tim's part to really get this right and to really kind of feed into that Phantom that still exists for the first film I feel the pressure but I'm I'm positioned in a different way I'm an actor coming into uh FL out uh you know an ensemble and F flesh out the story once I arrive it's really already moving but Tim I mean Monica can probably answer this better than I can but Tim was in good shape he was happy he was laughing uh it was a very energetic and very efficient Set uh I thought wow this this guy's in his Groove he he loves doing this uh you know we we didn't we didn't talk a lot uh but and we invented a lot of things on the spur of the M it was very Lively and I think you feel that you know and and it's not it's not precious it's kind of um has a good sense of humor and a good uh you know kind of plays even with itself it's that similar to and also we are we are part of a new entry yeah but you know it's beautiful to see all these actors they you know they still have the pleasure to play their own roles and they have grown with their characters and even for me to see uh the Synergy the creative Synergy between Tim and Michael and all the actors Through The Years so and we came together in this beautiful family and we were accepted and we became part of this beautiful group and the chemistry between everybody is so amazing and I think this is also very helpful to create the atmosphere of the movie also he's working with a lot of people that he's worked with before I mean it's his world so I don't I don't know whether he was nervous it just felt like he was having a good time
