One callback is made complex by the trailer.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The first trailer for Beetlejuice 2 contains a detail that indicates one hoped-for callback to the original movie’s Adam and Barbara Maitland won’t be possible. Tim Burton’s upcoming 2024 sequel Beetlejuice 2 is bringing back a few key characters from his 1988 horror-comedy, who are already teased to make several callbacks to past ghosts, scenes, and jokes.
Covering The Town Model Means Beetlejuice 2 Can't Repeat The Original's Opening Credits Beetlejuice's opening credits pulled off a great camera trick Close Similar to how Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2 repeated the 1993 original movie’s establishing shot of the town in the opening credits, it would have been fitting for Beetlejuice 2 to also do the same opening credits.
While repeating the original’s opening credits would have been a great callback to Adam and Barbara in Beetlejuice 2, one Jenna Ortega moment from the trailer makes this nearly impossible to happen. In the teaser trailer, Ortega’s Astrid is seen pulling a sheet off the Maitlands’ town model in the attic. With the model having been covered up by the Deetz family members for years, the opening credits wouldn’t be able to pull off the same camera trick to emulate traveling through Winter River.
How Beetlejuice 2 Can Still Beat The Original Movie's Opening Credits Trick Beetlejuice 2 can put a darker spin on the opening Tim Burton could still cleverly pay homage to the 1988 movie’s opening credits in a few different ways. One possibility would be to have the opening credits shot actually go through the real Winter River rather than the model, thus flipping expectations from the original film.
