On one hand, the teaser trailer makes it look like some effort has been made to capture the spirit of the original. (Sorry, Freudian slip - not intentional bad pun.)

On the other hand, Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian was the one time the creative artist won against the system. He intentionally wrote a bad screenplay and the studio dismissed it. Today, they'd throw the script at the screen no matter how bad it was. But when it happened, it happened and he got them.

But now that's been taken away. The Empire's one loss has been avenged, the creative artist is forced to make the sequel he never wanted to make, and the precedent has been set that literally every creative artist must fall in line and do as they're told or else a sequel will be made without them.

Im excited, but ever since his Willy Wonka movie his movies seem completely soulless to me. Thats also when he started using cg nonstop everywhere.
all his older movies had such creative direction and art being told with heart. Ever since then everything just feels like a cheap money making thing he just threw out.

so I want to be excited, but like all his movies now Im sure Ill feel disappointed.

They had some meta commentary about this in Matrix 4

One positive thing I will say is, Michael Keaton sounding old might actually be an improvement.

Burton's gone on record saying that this will have practical effects in it, for a change, to harken back to the original. So real puppets and stop-motion again. :)

I haven't watched any teasers or anything cuz I'm deathly afraid they're going to fuck it up, but I want to believe. The original Beetlejuice is so good, it will always be one of my favorite movies of all time, but, remakes / reboots of shit like that have NOT gone well, historically.

Well Rick Moranis is apparently coming back for a new Honey I Shrunk movie, Shrunk, after giving up acting entirely to focus on his kids. His kids are older now so he doesn't have that obligation, so perhaps Burton did become inspired for a true sequel.

You should just check out the trailer. It looks like everyone from the main cast is there minus the dad + Olivia Rodrigo as Lydia's (I assume) child. And as TC said, it does feel like they captured the spirit of the original.

Yeah, the last 125 years of cinema has been completely devoid of artistry or originality.

Hocus Pocus 2 was fun.

It didn't reinvent the wheel or anything, and the first movie is still probably better, but sometimes a movie simply being fun is fine.

Yeah, that was an enjoyable flick.

I also really enjoyed Ghostbusters Afterlife, and Top Gun Maverick was brilliant.

When people lose relevance and/or need money, they often fall back on what made them popular in the first place. And, yes, studios do often badger people to return to properties which they had eulogized.

You mean you never saw the movies? Because I was born almost a decade after Star Wars and was hyped by the Phantom Menace trailer. Its definitely nostalgia bait but being sequels, especially far flung, they automatically rely on that.

I've seen Ghostbusters 84 and i think Ghostbusters 2 is pretty good. I was very familiar with Star Wars although RotS came out when I was 5, a lot of my friends were floored by the Episode 7 trailer but I didn't really respond to it.

Is there a sequel to a film from your youth that you would be floored by or are you just not prone to nostalgia / falling for OMG We're Back trailers?

From my youth, I honestly can't say there is. Maybe like... Rise of the Guardians?
