Michael Keaton STILL Interested in ‘Beetlejuice 2’
It has been over six years since Michael Keaton first declared his desire to return as the “Ghost with the most” in Beetlejuice 2, and unfortunately Tim Burton has decided he’s rather do garbage like Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Sweeney Todd. While Warner Premiere at one time had hinted at continuing the franchise as a direct-to-disc series (much like they’re doing with Lost Boys), nothing has come to fruition. Earlier this year star Gena Davis said she’d love to return, and now Keaton has once again expressed interest. “Oh I’d do that in a heartbeat,” he told Moviehole at a junket for Toy Story 3, “that’s the one thing I’d love to do again.” Obviously a stars desire doesn’t equal any sort of progress, but it’s insane to me that WB hasn’t even made a renewed effort at this point. What do you guys think?
Every film in the Insidious franchise has received a PG-13 rating to date from the Motion Picture Association (MPA). That streak holds strong with Insidious: Out of the Further.
The sixth and newest installment has been rated PG-13 for “strong violent content, bloody images, terror and some strong language.”
Insidious: Out of the Further opens in theaters August 21 via Sony and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster.
As its title implies, the denizens of the Further are spilling out into our world in the new film, and its new MPA rating brings a fresh batch of images.
The film follows Gemma, a young mother raising her daughter in the house she grew up in, who discovers she can travel into The Further, the purgatorial realm of lost souls at the heart of the Insidious universe.
When something evil comes after her, Gemma discovers an ability that changes everything: she doesn’t just enter The Further, she can bring what lives there back to the real world. Once the demons realize her power, our world becomes their playground.
Franchise star Lin Shaye reprises her role as Elise Rainier alongside Amelia Eve (“The Haunting of Bly Manor”) and Brandon Perea (Nope). Island Austin, and Maisie Richardson-Sellers (“Legends of Tomorrow”) star.
Sam Spruell (“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”) plays the malevolent entity known as Cyrus.
“[He] was truly scary,” Shaye previously teased. “When I met him on the street, I had a visceral response, which was crazy. So it’s a whole new catalog of people and even of ideas.” Get a peek at Cyrus below.
Jacob Chase (Come Play) writes and directs, sharing story credit with David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick (The Conjuring: Last Rites, Orphan). David Garbett (Evil Dead Rise) serves as director of photography.
Jason Blum, Oren Peli, James Wan, and Leigh Whannell produce, with Johnson-McGoldrick, Ryan Turek, Steven Schneider, and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones as executive producers.
