Geena Davis explains why she's not in Tim Burton's upcoming sequel to 1988's Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
“No, I’m not. I’m not in the remake,” she said. “Oh, you were expecting that I would be? Yeah, no, you know what? Because my theory is that ghosts don’t age … Not that I have.”
Davis, who played Barbara Maitland alongside Alec Baldwin’s Adam Maitland in the first movie, added, “Our characters were stuck the way they looked when they died forever, so it’s been a while, it’s been a minute.” Davis noted that she’d “heard” the first trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice had been released; however, she had not yet watched it at the time of the interview. “Somebody said they were crying, so I have to see the trailer,” she explained.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice sees Michael Keaton reprise his role as the titular character. Also starring in the movie are Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Jenna Ortega, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Willem Dafoe, and Burn Gorman. Burton, who directed the original Beetlejuice, is helming the film, while the script was written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.Brandon Schreur has been writing about comics, movies, television shows, and all things pop culture for roughly five years.
