‘Beetlejuice 2’ Scares Up 3-Minute Venice Standing Ovation for Michael Keaton and Jenna Ortega’s Performances in Kooky Sequel
Tim Burton, Jenna Ortega, Michael Keaton and the cast of 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' earned a standing ovation at the Venice premiere of the sequel.
The clapping would have most likely gone on much longer but the Venice programmers quickly dimmed the lights as Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’ Hara and Jenna Ortega took a bow and lapped up the applause. Warner Bros.’ fantasy comedy horror will land in theaters 36 years after Burton’s cult 1988 original, with Keaton, Ryder and O’Hara reprising their roles alongside new cast members Ortega, Monica Bellucci, Justin Theroux and Willem Dafoe. The long-in-the-works sequel was first touted shortly after the first film, which became a critical and commercial success and grossed $74.7 million, with scripts commissioned in 1990.
