Michael Keaton Transformed Back Into Beetlejuice “Like He Was Possessed By A Demon,” Says Tim Burton


After 30-plus years away from the character, Michael Keaton had some doubts about finding Beetlejuice again for the forthcoming sequel, 'Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.'

“I had to go, ‘What was my unusual imagination even thinking about when I was developing it in the first place?’ As opposed to seeing a coffee mug or a golf-club cover [adorned with Betelgeuse’s face].” “ Insane.” Jenna Ortega put it thusly: “It was like an animal with a gun had just walked into the room. To watch him physically change and appear and Michael Keaton to be gone, and for me to be dealing with this Beetlejuice guy…It blew my mind.”
