The sequel has scored a PG-13 rating.
The original Beetlejuice is a seminal experience for burgeoning horror fans, as its slapstick nature allows younger audiences to get their first taste of terror, but the MPA has confirmed that the sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has scored a PG-13 rating as compared to the original's PG rating.
The sequel earned the rating for"violent content, macabre and bloody images, strong language, some suggestive material, and brief drug use," and while some of these elements can be found in the original movie, it's currently unknown if this follow-up manages the same tone of the debut movie or if it takes the more intense subject matter to new heights. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice lands in theaters on September 6th. Throughout the '70s and '80s, a number of movies landed in theaters with PG ratings, despite their intense subject matter. In 1984, Gremlins and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom landed in theaters with PG ratings, despite their violence and intense sequences, which resulted in the development of the PG-13 rating. Even though Beetlejuice was released in 1988 when the PG-13 rating had become commonplace, it still only earned a PG, despite the scene in which Keaton's Beetlejuice quips,"Nice f-cking model!" The new movie is decsribed,"Beetlejuice is back! After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia's life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it's only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice's name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem." Burton, a genre unto himself, directs from a screenplay by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar , story by Gough & Millar and Seth Grahame-Smith , based on characters created by Michael McDowell & Larry Wilson. The film's producers are Marc Toberoff, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Tommy Harper, and Burton, with Sara Desmond, Katterli Frauenfelder, Gough, Millar, Brad Pitt, Larry Wilson, Laurence Senelick, Pete Chiappetta, Andrew Lary, Anthony Tittanegro, Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg executive producing.
