Why Tim Burton Didn’t Ask Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis Back for ‘Beetlejuice 2’


Tim Burton explained why he didn’t ask ‘Beetlejuice’ stars Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis to reprise their roles for the sequel

Davis, 68, and Baldwin, 66, starred in the 1988 horror comedy as recently deceased couple Adam and Barbara Maitland who died when they accidentally drove off a bridge while swerving to avoid hitting a dog. Now in the afterlife, the duo find themselves at odds with the Deetz family — Lydia ( Winona Ryder), Delia ( Catherine O’Hara) and Charles ( Jeffrey Jones) — after they move into the Connecticut home in which the Maitlands used to live. For the 2024 sequel, which hits theaters on Friday, September 6, Burton teamed back up with a handful of the original cast including Keaton, Ryder and O’Hara, along with new faces Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe and Justin Theroux.
