BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE Trailer (2024)

Tim Burton commissioned Jonathan Gems to write Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian, a 1990 follow-up to Beetlejuice (1988). "Tim thought it would be funny to match the surfing backdrop of a beach movie with some sort of German Expressionism, because they're totally wrong together," Gems stated. After the Deetz family relocated to Hawaii, where Charles is building a resort, the narrative followed them. They quickly learn that his business is constructing on an old Hawaiian Kahuna's burial site. The spirit returns from the afterlife to wreak mischief, and Betelgeuse uses magic to win a surf competition and rises to hero status. Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton agreed to star in the movie with the proviso that Burton would direct, but both of them got preoccupied with Batman Returns.
