Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Behind The Scenes

[Music] a haunted haunted house oh could you love me now a haunted haunted haed House a haunted haunted house if you too scar get out a haunted haunted after 35 years we finally get to see more of what Beetlejuice has been up to I think I speak for most of us fans when I say we were shocked at the announcement [Music] while we wait for the release of beju beju today we wanted to go back at when they were filming and just how they put this all together and what it was like coming back to a set like this [Music] people have been asking for a sequel to Beetlejuice for a very long time and those involved with the film Dodge the question or said they'd be interested or some variation of those words if the right people were involved with the [Music] project but before we get into more of these onset rehearsal today's trivia question Tim Burton is very well known for his demeanor and unique style of film what was this first film Project he had worked on leave your guesses in the comments down below and stick around till the end of the video to find out if your answer was correct [Music] well he's completely singular there's there's nobody like Beetle Juice there's there's you know he's kind of I feel like he's more than an individual he's like this sort of just entity energy spir you know you can't really Place some and I I can't there's no other character like that that's great his confidence I think is very appealing yeah people want to be like him except for the Dead [Music] [Applause] [Music] part she's a be Cho's bride they had a short and intense love story that ended very badly in death actually and and when she wakes up in the afterlife full of rage and Desperation and obsessed with vengeance uh she puts herself back together in a scene that is almost like a horror dancing scene and it took two three days to film it and uh and I felt a bit like a mine because this role is very much about body language so I tried to play like a broken doll and it was so much [Music] fun Burton spoke about retur returning to the world he created in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and what questions he wanted to answer heading into the film but to revisit it now was nice because Lydia was a character that I always felt strongly about Burton explained for me then you start to use your own life experience what you know you start out you know you're an interesting teenager what happens to you when you become an adult what do you do you have children what are your relationships like what what have you become you know and so it was quite emotional for me to kind of revisit those characters and cuz you know things happen to all of us as we get older change relationships children [Music] [Applause] [Music] whatever I was feverishly scribbling in my journal for a week then I went and I met him again and then uh when I went to you know open up my journal and present these ideas he just placed the script of Beetle Juice in my journal and he didn't tell anyone he just said oh okay there's you know no pressure Jenna but I think there's a party for you but again if if you don't want to do it like you know don't and I just said okay thanks Tim [Music] as I

two Beetlejuice sequel scripts were commissioned in 1990 the first Beetle Juice in love was penned by screenwriter Warren sacran who did a heavy rewrite on the first film script [Music] [Applause] [Music] in 2022 a sequel was announced again this time produced by Brad Pit Studio Burton stated that he was not involved in the project but backtracked Days Later saying nothing is out of the question he ultimately returned as the film's Director and tried to strip everything from the story to go to the basics of working with good people actors and puppets well that was a dream to work with sand worms that was arguably my I mean they're such sweet guys and I love them all bits no I mean I think we shot that for maybe an hour on a sound stage with a gray screen and a sandbox and uh like a little artsy Tim Door and that was about it Burton credited the years of his life since the original film's release as the reason he couldn't do Beetlejuice Beetlejuice until then as genius as St Burton is it has been called out by his castmates and crew such as Beetlejuice himself in numerous occasions Katherine O'Hara needless to say makes me laugh all the time um and it's my first time working with her too so I have the added benefit of um being able to just Plum her for all of all the questions of you know all every single movie that she's ever worked on um obviously notably Christopher Guest movies which I love and every single one of her performances in those so that's sort of one of those great things where I'm sort of quietly like she I don't wouldn't tell her this but I'm sort of quietly interviewing her of all the things that I want to know about her life and career and as Jenna Ortega joins the cast as writer's character Lydia Deets the cast has praised her for her talents and being quote unquote born to play this role I said the other day I said it's almost like she had to be like when people say well she was born to play it I'm starting to think I wonder if she was literally born to play it because you know so obvious you know like she just it just she just well she's really she's really nice young woman but also really smart and as far as the answer to a trivia question Beetlejuice came out in 1988 but believe it or not wasn't the first project of his the first was peewee's big adventure in 1985 little bit emotional and also Tim was kind of taken back and a little stunned because I guess they had the measurements of the original house so everything was the exact same down to you know placement of this wood panel and same space and oh man I I don't remember it being this big but it was and oh yeah cuz remember this and they just kind of went back to details of the original so to be able to kind of be a fly on the wall in that moment and examine that was really really special but we wanted to turn this around to you guys what do you think about all these moments which one was your favorite and which character are you most excited to see let us know what your thoughts are in the comments down below make sure you're subscribed with notifications on for more videos just like this that's it for today though we'll see you all next time with a brand new video bye guys Tim because he puts so much trust in everybody when you come on his sets he he kind of Almost Doesn't Like give you performance notes he just lets you figure it out yourself and I think that that um when I first started working with him I hated it it was so confused not I didn't hate working with him but I hated the feeling that it gave me the anxiety the pressure because OB obviously I wanted to do a good [Music]
