'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' Interviews with Jenna Ortega, Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder & More!

Intro it's called acting like I was so so moved get out of here yeah no I mean get out of here I can't believe I'm doing this Beetle Juice Beetle Juice Beetle [Music] Juice it's showtime I had to say it Michael Keaton On How Lip Syncing Brough Him Back To The World Of 'Beetlejuice' because all right I am so excited for you to be back in Beetlejuice thanks me too and I was very curious uh what liner moment truly made you feel like you were back because Tim was saying like you were possessed on set I people keep asking me this and I'll remember like later today but they there were so many fun moments just you know the I also don't want to give too much away CU people go to see but the scene where were were in the you know in the in the room with all the shrunken head guys and Tim had this idea it just made me laugh I think I it's I think I lip sying twice in the movie don't I yes yeah yeah so the first time is really fun yeah I love that scene cuz just out of nowhere it's like the mic and then the different audio and it's like oh I I see where we're going this okay the juice is loose when you did the first Did The Cast Revive The Iconic 'Juice' Chant? one they sort of had like that chant on set where it's like juice juice did they do it again for Beetle Juice Beetle no no I don't even know what what's spurred the first one cuz I hadn't done anything yet what the it was wild I still don't understand how that happened that was wild probably the costume just like that does everything like when in the full Justin was talking about how when he first saw you in makeup and costume he's like oh my God I'm here I'd been looking for him on set and Justin Theroux Describes Meeting Michael Keaton For The First Time kind of going like I should probably meet Michael you know like at some point and we were just missing each other during like hair and makeup tests and stuff like that and then I came into they were like oh he just went to his trailer so I was like okay knock knock knock open the door he's in full Beetle Juice reg full makeup and he's like hey man but he wasn't not in the voice obviously um and it was like the Pervert wait to just immediately slip right in because there he was like you know standing above me you know in his trailer I thought oh my God this is like you know and then there were multiple Pinch Me moments throughout the whole process oh yeah cuz like then once you break the ice with that it's just it's icing for the rest of it and then just walking on the sets you're just like are you kidding me it's incredible yeah I The Moments Jenna Ortega And Catherine O'Hara Felt (Back) At Home On Set think a lot of the sets for the first time for me personally like I've never seen a set like the afterlife before and I think I just walked by it and then I just got I went in there when you guys were shooting somewhere else and just took it all in it's insane the floor is uneven and there's texture on all the walls and every poster has some sort of inside joke or saying it's just so detailed and so incredible so good they killed it I'm just thinking that Tim's look in his eyes talking about what he wanted to do and Al and what ideas do you have and what do you wanted to do and just that oh I'm so happy to be here so energetic yeah everything you expect from Tim Burton yeah I'm happy for him I 'I Was So Moved': Winona Ryder On Working With Tim Burton Again was really really moved I remember um after we did the first one I read an interview with Tim where he said that he identified so much with Lydia and I didn't know that when on the first one and I was I just remember being like I was so so moved and and yeah because in all of his movies he he is one of you know oh he is Edward Scissor Hands he is kind of Lydia esque you know but also Al like I feel like he's so uncompromising and he's so singular but he is also very sincere it's not like just all aesthetic you know like he really cares and when you know I was when when this finally happened because we'd been talking about it for for years and years and I kept getting my hopes up and you know and I but everyone knew it like had to be perfect and no compromising and it was a very emotional experience being on that set seeing everyone for the first time and and it was emotional for Tim as well oh yeah I thought I heard stories about you both like walking around the reconstructed set it's like oh I remember that oh you remember that oh my God it but but uh also I think just in terms of how he his Direction I the the first stuff we shot I I was trying like I I was really nervous about it and um I remember the you know that first day and trying it a few different ways and trying to find it and then Tim just said like let's try one where just you're really sincere like you know and and then we did that and it it worked and that was sort of the way I applied that to the whole journey and and and if you think about Lydia in the first one and she is she seems cynical and dramatic and all these things but she actually is a very sensitive person and there is something very pure about her and and her heart and and her connection to these ghosts and I you know I just I really like that we sort of captured that a f tingle well no no so sweet and Jenna Ortega and Catherine O'Hara On Working With Burton & Ryder easy they're both so easy like so welcoming so kind so they really took the pressure off of you know joining something like this it's hard not to care for Winona and what and what her character what Lydia was going through so I think we really connected on that whether we said it out loud or not it just you instantly feel it you know when you care about the characters you don't and almost every that's all you need that's she gave us what we needed to feel about her yeah and almost every scene we do I feel like there's always at least one look at each other eye contact yeah I don't know if it's a movie I'm worried about you're not getting married I turned around to you like Monica Bellucci Describes Her Favorite Scene As 'Delores' I was already very excited when Tim told me there is a key role in the film for which I thought about you so I was very happy to accept it and to play it and then he showed me what you wanted to do with the dancing scene and when I saw that I said oh my God there is this horror dancing scene that I felt like a MIM I felt like a broken doll but it was so much fun and I have to say that I was really helped because I had 3 hours of makeup every day and also to get in these amazing sets to wear those beautiful costumes of Colleen Atwood and also Tim loves to draw so there are always drawings of characters and situations and also he likes practical effects instead of CGI so you have real monsters to react to instead of a green screen so you can go farther with your fantasy and your imagination and when I saw the movie I was so surprised even though I knew everything but I had such a pleasure to play Dolores it was one of those scripts Justin Theroux On How He And Tim Burton Workshopped His Character 'Rory' that you get and you think God I hope this is good you know CU I talk to Tim he's like I'm going to send you the script and I said great and then you not that I ever doubted Tim but but I thought like oh I hope that um this is as good and then page after page I was like this is so good this is so good and then the part I think you know my part Rory was like a little it was sort of like we wanted to just layer it and make it as as funny as it possibly could be so um we just had me and Tim had multiple conversations about what could just make him funny and we found that like you know making him like overly emotional could be funny you know that he was now starting to sort of dress like Lydia could be really funny you know and there were just all these things so we sort of started developing it and and there was a bunch of stuff that we sort of improved um you know that was just made him so stupid that made us laugh and it was so great because it's like you think back to the original it's like it is just a grab bag of characters and like Rory's kind of like a new oo so to speak where it's like the really wild one on the Spectrum versus like astd being the most serious totally yeah well it's one of those things that together everybody sort of makes sense but if you took any of these characters and put them in their own movie none of them would make any sense so oh no it's like a really weird you know be on HDTV like doing haunted homes yeah I don't know what he would be doing God he's poor Rory oh dear I'm good so obviously From 'Heathers' To 'Tropic Thunder': The Projects The 'Beetlejuice 2' Cast Would Always Return To Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is coming back about coming back to this world back to these characters and introducing new ones as well but from your past careers what role would are you like most eager to go back to now that you've done this oh jeez oh no I'm drawing a blank yeah you are going well yeah I'm in the middle I'm in the middle of Wednesday right now that's what black hair and thanks so that's always exciting good answer yes very adro pivot yes Wednesday Wednesday is good Wednesday is good she's very cool so I it's nice to kind of slip right back into that physicality again that's great uh forget your child again Morgan Fairchild from SCV what are you smiling at you're not taking me seriously are you no I don't know trying to think somebody I played years ago I want to revisit all of your characters personally yeah look I would just gladly take that satv documentary from Netflix I would gladly take that coming out early one day it will yeah it will might want to try to do another version of uh because I liked it so much multiplicity yeah multiplicity was fun hard but fun I love that movie yeah me too oh my God there's so many of them that I want to go back to um as an actor you know it's hard to say because you can never visualize the thing unless you know for example I don't think there should be a mle in Drive 2 or you know something like that um I don't know I mean I still find like as a writer you know you know things that are in the vein of Tropic Thunder are really funny um that I'd like to sort of I wouldn't want to revisit that movie or make a sequel of it but there's versions of it that I think could Exist Elsewhere that I think it could be very funny is that working Mercury it's high science man it's art form yeah you an artist it's what we do right there's been that Les Grossman spin-off that people have talked about for forever like do you think we should still get that or you think like the the available I would love to do it you know I mean Tom's the businessman in Hollywood obviously um and show business but yeah if you ever called me I would absolutely be like let's go look stick I'm incredibly busy so why don't you get the hell out of here before I snap your dick off and jaming into your no not you I don't know because I I would have I for years was trying to to get everybody to get on board with it for Heathers but I think uh you know that that ship has sailed that that was another that I thought could be a fun like return but I hey this this is an absolute first for me to revisit something it's and now I know like it's like you're spoiled like you don't ever want to do this unless it's absolutely perfect yeah like that's the key like the sincerity is there the heart is there that's why it took so long yeah and we were also needed Jenna to be born and grow up because she is like such a great she's like the missing puzzle piece you know like I mean she's so brilliant she's so so brilliant and as is Monica and William and Justin I mean it it was just sort of dream Dreamcast you both get to be family with Did The Deetz Family Do Anything To Bond On Set? 'It's Called Acting' Monona Ryder in this film and I wanted to know was there any sort of like bonding exercises like something that you all sort of shared that was like linked you together yeah I know it's very new age I mean it's like how did you all how did you all sync up together your perform is it a it's called acting yeah L right try acting my dear boy so but no not to be rude that our dance sessions were pretty that was kind of late in the game we finally got it together yeah find the connection yeah all throughout the shoot we were like and then we started dancing together why is she here I kept asking we developed a respect for each other through dance yeah definitely spill your guts who wants to go first all right I will see I'm willing to do the work We Remind Michael Keaton Of The Time He Spoiled 'Batman' For Everyone obviously with a movie like this secrecy is key and and it was funny because when I was doing the prep a reel came up of yan Letterman accidentally spoiling Batman back back in the day oh jeez so I was curious how did that totally like me so stupid yeah yeah God what did I say I witnessed Batman Bruce Wayne Witnesses the uh the murder of his parents when he's a kid and the Joker had done that yeah but he doesn't know it till later I'm kind of blowing the plot here yeah like nobody's going to go see it now I like oh everybody learns that later but but didn't everybody know that no really because it was like Joe Chill was the guy that like did it in comic Cannon get out of here yeah no I mean get out of here okay fine cin Blends out really see I'm a dunce all right anyway well what well I'm not going to blow this cuz the endings on it's good I'm not going to say anything they got I want some of that long green lay down your long green at the box office then we'll talk go see it in Dolby we saw it in Dolby for the the Press screen you see IMAX oh that's next yeah are they do you know if they're doing 40x I have no idea I want 40x cuz that's like a theme part hey who doesn't want 40x I'm going to make you so Catherine O'Hara Loves A Good Dollar Store... But Not Just Any happy nice socks yeah you solid out of any out of all places dollar triade really dollar R actually oh yes fair enough yeah cuz I said Jo Oliver thing on Dollar Tree would make you not want to shop there oh 99 cent which one was it no it was Family Dollar that was the problem which Family Dollar I think really worse yeah around the same lelus no dollar is good dollar Ram is pure Winona Ryder Has The Best Idea For CinemaBlend's Next Business Venture Cinema Blends like a coffee you know what I keep telling them we should do one and it should be cinnamon because I sometimes trip over the name and it sounds like cinnamon blend right and like Cinema it has to be cinematic you know like the the foam latte of like camera oh get like the art the latte art latte art Cinema PLS
