Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star Michael Keaton had a strict condition for returning for the forthcoming horror-comedy sequel. Released in 1988, the original Tim Burton-directed Beetlejuice cast Michael Keaton as the titular character, a charismatic and cunning “bio-exorcist” who was hired by a recently deceased married couple who want to scare off new homebuyers from taking their house.

I was ultra-clear about that. I said, Honestly, we'll blow it if we do that. We'll really screw this thing up if we say, Let's just have a lot of Betelgeuse. That would get very tiresome in my opinion. Yes, he's politically incorrect, but you know what? That's why I love it. Prior to starring in Beetlejuice, Keaton was still an up-and-comer who had appeared in a few comedy dramas and sitcoms. However, his eccentric and captivating performance in Beetlejuice catapulted him to stardom and in turn helped the movie’s commercial success as well. He played the stringy green-haired character to perfection, and even with limited screen time he left the most lasting impression, which has helped the character live on far beyond the movie.
