It’s Finally Showtime: The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Teaser
It’s no longer just a rumor, or a discarded script in the dark corners of the Internet about going Hawaiian: Beetlejuice 2, or Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, is real enough now for the first teaser trailer to poke out of the model graveyard. Winona Ryder returns to the role of Lydia Deetz. Catherine O’Hara is also back in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice as Delia, her self-absorbed mother. Jenna Ortega plays Lydia’s offspring, and looks remarkably like Young Lydia did in similar gothwear so many years ago. But the most important cast member in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (who took up less of the original film than you remember) is Michael Keaton as the striped ghoul himself, the man so nice they named the film after him twice. Is using a “dramatic” recreation of the Banana Boat Song too predictable and on the nose for something like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice? Most definitely, but did they do it? Yes: THE LOOK ON LYDIA’S FACE. Mwaha! After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to

Teaser Released For Alien Romulus
20th Century Studios put out a teaser trailer for Alien Romulus, the next Xenomorph-centric picture, early this morning. The release date is five months from now and the studio hasn’t revealed much about it. We don’t even know why it’s called Romulus yet….we assume that’s the name of the spaceship, but we could be surprised. But from the impression the trailer gives, there doesn’t seem to be much we NEED to know. From all appearances this is a back-to-basics Alien picture: no elaborate backstory, no political theater, no Space Marines, just a simple fight for survival. The plot description is just one sentence: “While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.” It does hold a couple surprises though: since when can the Facehuggers break through glass? I recall them having trouble with it in Aliens. It was stated in an interview that Romulus is meant to take place between
