Huge 80s blockbuster movie to get mega-money sequel with Netflix star, Warner Brothers confirms
ICONIC 80s movie Beetlejuice is set to get a mega-money sequel, Warner Brothers has announced.
The film studio has confirmed that a follow-up to the legendary movie is officially in the works.
The horror comedy was first released in 1988 and now over 30 years later will be getting a brand new edition with a Netflix star set to head up the cast.
Warner confirmed the news during a panel event at CinemaCon 2023.
20 year old Wednesday actress Jenna Ortega is allegedly in talks to appear in the new blockbuster in a leading role.
Jenna has achieved international recognition over the past year thanks to her role in the Netflix hit.
According to Deadline, should Jenna sign up she will be playing the role of the daughter of Lydia Deetz.
That would make her character’s on-screen mother Winona Ryder, 51.
No other official details are thought to have been confirmed at the event.
Alongside rumours of Jenna’s appearance, it has also been alleged that 64 year old Tim Burton is in talks to return to the flick as director.
It is believed that production on the film could begin as soon as June in London.
A year ago, an IMDb page for the film was set up that listed a release date of 2025 and also had Jenna Ortega on the cast list fuelling speculation even further.
As of now, whilst the page still exists, the release date has been removed.
Jenna remains listed in the cast section alongside original star Micheal Keaton prompting speculation the 71 year old will also be back for the movie.
