In the surreal, wonderfully cartoon-like comedy BEETLEJUICE, a childless couple, Barbara and Adam (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin), move to the country only to be killed in a car accident while passing over a quaint covered bridge. Their ghosts return to their beloved Victorian home, and find the 'Handbook For The Recently Deceased', which not only lets them know they're dead, but comes in handy when they learn that they can continue to live in their house, even though a new family--from the land of the living--is moving in. The new owners, fresh from the city, are quite a strange group themselves, and include the overpowering hipster mom Delia (Catherine O'Hara - HOME ALONE, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION), her pompous SoHo interior designer Otho (Glenn Shadix - HEATHERS), her meek husband Charles (Jeffrey Jones), and their morose teenage daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder), who befriends the ghostly couple. Though the threesome attempt to scare Delia from ruining the house with redecoration and her unpleasant personality, their attempts fail. As a last resort, they call upon the services of the demented, terrifying, but hilarious 'bioexorcist,' Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton - BATMAN, CLEAN AND SOBER). Director Tim Burton (SWEENEY TODD, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS) scores big with witty site gags, incredible special effects and sets, and a unique ensemble of characters. BEETLEJUICE is a visually inventive and imaginative comedy taken to a uniquely grotesque and funny level by the manic performance of Michael Keaton in the title role.

Michael Keaton has joined his Beetlejuice co-star Geena Davis in calling on movie bosses to commission a sequel - insisting he would reprise his role "in a heartbeat". Rumours of a possible follow-up to Tim Burton's ghoulish 1988 comedy have been swirling around Hollywood for several years, but the speculation stepped up after Davis recently admitted she would be happy to sign up. Now Keaton has also lodged his support for a sequel - because he would "love" to reprise his title role as the... Read more
