Tim Burton Explains Why Alec Baldwin & Geena Davis Aren’t In ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’

After starring alongside Alec Baldwin in 1988's 'Beetlejuice', Geena Davis previously offered a theory for why they aren't in the sequel.

Director Tim Burton recently explained why the actors did not reprise their roles as the ghostly couple Adam and Barbara Maitland from the original 1988 movie for the long-awaited sequel, which premieres Sept. 6 in theaters. In the first movie, the recently-deceased couple enlists the help of the titular ghoul (played by Michael Keaton) to help them scare away the yuppie family that moved in after their death. But when the family’s death-obsessed teen Lydia Deetz ( Winona Ryder) meets the mischievous spirit, all hell breaks loose on the Connecticut home.
