Michael Keaton on fire as Beetlejuice in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Summary While Beetlejuice 2 is officially releasing 36 years after the original classic, a previous Tim Burton movie already served as a worthy follow-up to the 1988 horror-comedy. Tim Burton’s movies often feature overlap in themes, types of protagonists, and dark subject matter that carry the filmmaker’s distinctive touch, but only on two occasions has he actually directed a sequel to one of his hits.
Victor and Lydia also share some important character traits, with both being disillusioned with life “upstairs,” finding greater companionship with ghosts than the living, and feeling like outcasts in their families. Victor and Lydia also share some important character traits, with both being disillusioned with life “upstairs,” finding greater companionship with ghosts, and feeling like outcasts in their families. Among the bigger comparisons between Beetlejuice and Corpse Bride is their similar visual styles and fantastical worlds, utilizing similar approaches to color and lighting when highlighting differences between the living and the dead.
Since Jenna Ortega’s ghostly appearance in the afterlife inspired theories that her character Astrid Deetz is dead in Beetlejuice 2, the movie could draw even bigger comparisons to Corpse Bride. Though it could just be a Halloween costume, the outfit and makeup Otrega dons in the afterlife aren’t too different from Emily in Corpse Bride, with teases of Astrid getting married in the sequel making these resemblances more difficult to ignore.
Beetlejuice 2 Can Replace A Live-Action Corpse Bride Movie Beetlejuice 2 Reveals What A Live-Action Corpse Bride Movie Could Look Like Given the longstanding adoration for Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride movie, there have been various calls over the years for a live-action adaptation of the spooky animated musical. However, since it seems unlikely that a live-action Corpse Bride movie will happen, the story similarities in Beetlejuice 2 make Burton’s 2024 sequel a great substitute for that wish.
