Say My Name Say My Name


I still don't really know how to feel about a Beetlejuice sequel -- the first movie was formative for me even besides the formative goth content since it was the first movie I went to see in a movie theater without my parents; it holds a very special place in my heart and I have seen it approximately a gazzilion times. But we're getting this so we'd best prepare ourselves and this teaser poster (via) -- which is apaprently telling us the title of it is Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (which is practically begging for a third film, right?) -- is a good way to start. We'll probably get a trailer or a teaser at least too soon, I would guess, even though the film itself isn't out until September 6th. It does quiet some of the darker voices in my head that Burton got everybody that matters to return -- meaning Winona and O'Hara and Keaton, oh my -- although I admit I'd love to see at least Geena Davis too. But the additions of Monica Belluci, Justin Theroux, Burn Gorman, Jenna Ortega, and Willem f'ing Dafoe are promising as well. Who knows! Tim Burton is so hit or miss or miss or miss or miss these days. Let's hope he's on his game here.

Sadly, however, Sylvia Sidney as Juno won't be with them. She passed away in 1999 at the age of 98.
