Geena Davis Would Love to Be Part of a ‘Beetlejuice’ Sequel
Outside of playing the President in “Commander in Chief” Geena Davis has been taking it easy these days. So has Beetlejuice co-star Michael Keaton. While I wouldn’t say a Beetlejuice sequel is on the top of my wish list, it is something that could be cool to see before the studio decides to remake it instead. While there isn’t any real news here, it’s nice to dream, especially since there have been talks over the past 5 years (including an announcement of a potential DTV sequel by Warner Premiere). In an interview with Moviehole.net, Davis was surprised to hear about a potential sequel, yet added, “I would do that!” She continues, “Thing is, do ghosts age? Wouldn’t we be stuck in the age we were? Alec [Baldwin] and I would have to look as we did then – who knows, maybe we could? I better get in touch with Tim Burton.” The sequel was actually penned in the 90’s under the title Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian. You can read more about that at the link above.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
