Though Beetlejuice Beetlejuice doesnt exist without Michael Keatons titular character, Tim Burton makes a great point about why Jenna Ortegas Astrid is the anchor of the sequel. When the long-awaited sequel to the 1988 horror-comedy was officially announced, the initial appeal was the confirmation of Tim Burton back in the directors chair and Beetlejuice 2s returning cast members Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine OHara. The returns of Betelgeuse and the Deetz family reiterated which figures were the true emotional crux of the franchise, but one more piece was still required to complete the puzzle for a compelling story.

Thankfully, Burton noted in his directors commentary that he wouldnt have done the sequel had Keaton, Ryder, and OHara not all agreed to come back. However, the returning cast members and Burton have agreed on the new addition to Beetlejuice 2s Deetz family story that gives the sequel its necessary heart and...

Winona Ryder has had her career ups and downs since she made her film debut at age 15 as a high-schooler who befriends Corey Haim, her bully-targeted classmate, in 1986’s “Lucas.” She reigned as one of the most in-demand film actresses in the ‘90s as she transitioned into more adult roles. Ryder hit an unfortunate speed bump in 2001, after she faced shoplifting charges for stealing $5,500 worth of merchandise from a Saks Fifth Avenue department store. She ended up sentenced to three years of probation, 480 hours of community service and various fines while receiving both psychological and drug counseling.

Ryder took time off from acting between the time of her arrest until 2005, when she appeared in a string of indie films. But her true comeback arrived in J.J. Abrams‘ 2009 “Star Trek” reboot as Spock’s human mother Amanda Grayson. These days, she is best known as single mother Joyce Byers, whose...

Just a few days ago, Andrew Garfield praised his Hacksaw Ridge director Mel Gibson for the “beautiful healing with himself” the controversial Oscar winner has done over the years. Based on comments Gibson made today at Lax about the Vice President of the United States, the We Live In Time actor might want to reconsider his perspective.

Caught at the airport by TMZ cameras, Gibson said that Kamala Harris has the “Iq of a fence post.”

Beforehand, the trucker hat wearing Braveheart director/actor declared he was voting for Donald Trump to get back in the White House. Gibson added that it “ain’t good” if the current VP won the very close election over Trump. “Miserable track record, appalling track record, and no policies to speak of,” Gibson proclaimed of Harris – as you can see below.

Deadline reached out to Gibson’s reps for a statement on the actor’s words about Harris,...

Tim Burton's rule for continuing his 1988 classic cemented the success of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The sequel follows up on beloved characters from the original, exploring their lives 36 years after their first contact with the crude bio-exorcist. While some key absences are felt, Beetlejuice 2 features the return of stars Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz, Catherine O'Hara as Delia Deetz, and Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice. The movie centers around Lydia's troubled relationship with her daughter Astrid (Jenna Ortega) and sees them being pulled into the Neitherworld by not one, but two cheating dead entities.

A lot of thought went into Beetlejuice's legacy sequel, which the Wednesday director has delayed creating since the early 1990s. Talking to EW, Burton mentioned having discussed many Beetlejuice sequel possibilities with Keaton over the years, before both agreed they had "no burning desire to do it" unless it felt right. While Beetlejuice Beetlejuice's ending...

Mass Effect: Andromeda was released in 2017, and I played it at launch. Like many people, I wasn't thrilled about my first experiences, and I ended up quitting the game before I completed it. A big part of why I quit was the countless bugs and glitches I encountered that often made sections unnecessarily frustrating, or even seemingly impossible to complete. However, now that I'm ready to give the game another chance after 7 years, it's sad to realize that Andromeda won't be able to reach its full potential.

After the hit trilogy that made up Mass Effect, a new adventure started with Mass Effect: Andromeda to take us to our neighboring galaxy to uncover what mysteries it holds, and figure out how to create new homes there in case the Reapers weren't defeated back in the Milky Way. Because of the long distance we traveled as Ryder, Andromeda takes place over 600 years into the future,...

The world may have first fallen in love with Jenna Ortega in the Netflix series, Wednesday. However, the actress has come a long way since then. With her starring in a Sabrina Carpenter song and even in the recent revival of Beetlejuice, the 22-year-old has cemented herself as one of Hollywood’s favorites. Although fans of Tim Burton expected the latest film to be horrific, there was one creepy scene that no one saw coming.

The scene might have set the stage for a potential third part of the franchise. However, it also left a lot of questions circling in the minds of fans. After all, the Ortega scene has even been dubbed one of the most disturbing moments in the whole film.

The Jenna Ortega scene that left fans disturbed

Just days ago, Jenna Ortega’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice made its way to theatres.

Exclusive: Talia Ryder has boarded Rob Burnett’s comedy film In Memoriam alongside Marc Maron.

Burnett (The Fundamentals of Caring) wrote the script, and he will direct the film for Invention Studios (Thelma).

In Memoriam will begin shooting in Los Angeles on Monday, telling the story of a veteran Hollywood actor (Maron) who becomes obsessed with securing a spot in the Oscars’ “In Memoriam” montage after he receives a terminal cancer diagnosis. This leads to a heartfelt journey of self-exploration as well as ego, humility and legacy.

Ryder has appeared in films like Little Death (2024), The American (2023), The Sweet East (2023), Dumb Money (2023), Do Revenge (2022), Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between (2022), Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story (2021) and Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020). She can next be seen in Ethan Coen’s Honey Don’t! for Focus Features.

Aside from The Fundamentals of Caring starring Paul Rudd,...

Rutger Hauer’s bedraggled, trench-coated hitchhiker John Ryder is everything the Joker always wanted to be, just without the film bro philosophising and cosplay-friendly get-up. A true agent of chaos who exists outside of rules, society, and possibly even reality itself. The way he appears and disappears, floating in and out of the worst day of hopeless everyman Jim Halsey’s life, showing up just in time to send another calamitous domino tumbling, is, very plainly, supernatural. A character who’s so far beyond the realms of reason or humanity, he’s practically primordial; more of a lesson than a person. Don’t trust strangers – you will be dragged kicking and screaming into a cross-country cat-and-mouse game that will surrender your very soul, and potentially get a little bit homo-erotic too.

Famously written by Eric Red from the lyrics of The Door’s 1971 classic Riders on the Storm (“there’s a killer on the road…...

Warning! This article contains Spoilers for Beetlejuice 2 (2024)!The primary conflict for Winona Ryders Lydia Deetz in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice revolves around her strained relationship with her teenage daughter, Astrid, but one of their biggest points of contention could have easily been resolved by Delia. Over 36 years after the original movie, Ryder, Catherine OHara, and Michael Keaton return in Beetlejuice 2s cast as the Deetz family returns to their haunted Winter River house for the funeral of Lydias father, Charles Deetz. When the movie kicks off, tensions are already high among the Deetz family, with Lydias teenage daughter Astrid (Jenna Ortega) resenting her and denying her ghost-seeing ability.

Though Lydia built a famous television career around her gift to communicate with ghosts, which originated with the deceased Maitlands in Winter River, Astrid never believed the ability was real until she met Jeremys ghost in Beetlejuice 2. Before developing the ability herself,...

Celeb chef Guy Fieri is known for his rockstar approach to food. Recently, however, the upbeat personality shared a heartbreaking loss with his many followers. What happened?

Celeb Chef Guy Fieri Has Built A Culinary Empire

Many people may make fun of Guy Fieri for his frosted tips, or the fact that his style choices are perpetually stuck in the early 2000s, but, it’s a formula that has worked well for him over the years. Everyone recognizes his iconic look, and he has done a great job of branding it, to the point where even those who don’t like him know him.

Guy Fieri’s net worth in 2024 sits at an impressive $100M, so, he is certainly doing something right. This is largely due to his lucrative contract with the Food Network, as well as his numerous restaurants, cookbooks, and more. He has certainly found ways to maximize...

New Stranger Things season 5 behind-the-scenes photos have been released, teasing a potential flashback to season 1. Created by Matt and Ross Duffer, the hit Netflix series returned for season 4 in 2022, ending with Hawkins becoming ground zero for an Upside Down incursion into the real world. Stranger Things season 5, which is still filming after entering production earlier this year, is set to pick up after a time jump, but behind-the-scenes photos from several months ago suggested that the show could also be flashing back to young Will's time in the Upside Down.

Stranger Things executive producer and director Shawn Levy now takes to Instagram to share new behind-the-scenes photos from the show's set, one of which supports the flashback theory. The second image in Levy's carousel features the Duffer brothers, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, and an unidentified woman, but it's what is in the background that's most interesting. The image teases...

It was a few years in the making, but Second Sight Films recently sent their 4K and Blu-ray release of the 1986 classic The Hitcher out into the world, and you can pick up a copy of the 4K release at This Link. To celebrate this release, The Guardian got in contact with The Hitcher‘s director Robert Harmon and the film’s star C. Thomas Howell – and found that they both had some interesting things to say about Rutger Hauer’s contribution to the film and his approach to playing the homicidal John Ryder.

Directed by Harmon from a screenplay by Eric Red, The Hitcher has the following synopsis: While transporting a car from Chicago to San Diego, Jim Halsey picks up a hitchhiker named John Ryder, who claims to be a serial killer. After a daring escape, Jim hopes to never see Ryder again. But when he witnesses the hitchhiker murdering an entire family,...

Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator II” will world premiere next month as a Royal Film Performance, with a red carpet event in London that will also mark the centenary of the British crown’s Film and TV Charity, Paramount Pictures announced Tuesday.

The Nov. 13 premiere will include a red carpet event to be live streamed to 30 cinemas hosting regional premieres across the United Kingdom. It will mark the centenary of the Royal Film Charity, which provides financial assistance to people working behind the scenes in film and TV who are facing hardship.

From legendary director Ridley Scott, Gladiator II continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and vengeance set in Ancient Rome. Years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist.

Tim Burton tends to rely on a roster of trusted actors in his projects, making it possible for long-time collaborators to join Wednesday season 2's cast. The Addams Family-inspired series Wednesday has received widespread acclaim, and the inclusion of Addams Family alumni Christina Ricci suggests that more familiar faces could make cameo appearances in season 2. Stars like Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, and Eva Green, who have previously worked with Tim Burton, could bring their unique acting styles and versatility to the show, adding depth and intrigue to the characters.

When Tim Burton wants to bring his signature surreal universes to life, he tends to refer to a trusted roster of actors, many of whom could be in Wednesday season 2's cast. Ever the visionary, Burton relies on the same crew of "strange and unusual" heroes who tend to do the best job at bringing his tortured souls and unsung heroes to life.

The resistance is coming together, if ever so slowly.

The question that never honestly got answered in Invasion Season 2 Episode 7 is: who is the enemy, the military or the aliens?

The smart money would still have to go on the transformed aliens, now flat-out killing machines.

But, after an initial round of unity after the aliens invaded, humanity has splintered again. But instead of having hundreds of nation-states, it's broken down into the military and civilians.

Unfortunately, while the civilians are developing good ideas about conquering the aliens, the military has the guns and a rigid mindset regarding civilians.

You would think that Trevante Cole, of all people, would understand that, being former military and all.

But Trevante is a civilian on a mission now. Fate has thrown him together with Rose, who may be even more obsessed with the aliens than him, if that's possible.

Rose had taken up...

Madison Beer is more than ready to open up. From the moment I ask a question from inside a karaoke room at a club event for Las Vegas's Jbl Fest, she's prepared to tell the truth. "[I'm someone who was subject to] massive amounts of online hatred and bullying, and to people constantly perceiving and having opinions about me," she tells Popsugar. "That's been very hard at times."

When it comes to the internet, which she calls "f*cking terrifying," she wishes there was more accountability for the kind of cyberbullies that came after her so intensely during the early years of her career. "There should be actual consequences for that. I would love to see something implemented where, actually, no, you can't just hide behind an account and be horrifically mean to people and cost people their lives sometimes. Maybe a system that finds these people and holds them accountable,...

Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie focuses on Skye, giving the story a personal slant and emotional payoff that helps ramp up the tension. Taraji P. Henson is the standout as Victoria Vance, nailing the theatricality of her character and providing memorable moments. While the film's dialogue and comedic timing may be subpar at times, it still succeeds as an engaging animation that kids will enjoy.

Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie upgrades its titular characters’ abilities, turning them into superheroes in an animated story that is sure to please its target audience. The sequel to Paw Patrol: The Movie, both of which are based on the 2013 series from Keith Chapman and Scott Kraft, is sweet and charming, if a bit humdrum. Its lessons are bare bones but relatable, with the kiddos easily able to take everything in without being overwhelmed, especially if they’re already familiar with the characters. The film offers some cute character interactions,...

In January 2021, Dumb Money producer Aaron Ryder was in the midst of a mandatory two-week quarantine in Montreal, and to pass the time, he began to track the ever-evolving situation with GameStop’s stock. The struggling video game retailer became the apple of the internet’s eye, as Redditors on the WallStreetBets subreddit and YouTube investors like Keith Gill’s Roaring Kitty (portrayed by Paul Dano in Dumb Money) were leading the Gme stock short squeeze in an effort to give hedge fund short sellers a taste of their own medicine.

Around the same time, Ryder’s company, Ryder Picture Company, had just launched and entered into a first-look deal with MGM, and as all this drama was still unfolding with GameStop’s soaring stock, the Oscar nominee became a part of the deal for author Ben Mezrich’s GameStop-related book proposal that would later become The Antisocial Network. Mezrich...

Henson, sounding like she’s having fun), a mad scientist who chafes at being referred to as a “mad scientist.

Matt Damon dated a few notable talents before settling down with current wife Luciana Barroso. But all he needed was to date celebrities a couple of times before realizing he might’ve been better off with partners who weren’t famous.

Damon had a couple of public relationships with his fellow actors in the past. Perhaps his most known relationships at the time were with Winona Ryder and Minnie Driver. Although his relationships with either didn’t last very long, Ryder and Driver still spoke very highly of their ex.

“Matt couldn’t be a greater, nicer guy. I’m really lucky that I’m on good terms with him,” Ryder once told Black Book (via Yahoo).

Meanwhile, Ranker reported that some of Damon’s lesser known celebrity flings included Claire Danes and Underworld star Rhona Mitra.

Actor Sam Claflin has had a storied career in the industry, but his portrayal of William, aka Prince Charming, in the Snow White and the Huntsman franchise begs the question of why he hasn't led his own Disney live-action remake as a prince. Disney's next live-action remake is 2024's Snow White, starring Rachel Zegler as the titular princess, Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, and Andrew Burnap as new character Jonathan. However, a live-action retelling of the classic Grimm Brothers fairy tale with a special twist, spearheaded by Universal, was released back in 2012, featuring Sam Claflin as Snow White's one true love.

Snow White and the Huntsman sees Claflin starring opposite Kristen Stewart's Snow White, in which he spends most of the film trying to find her. While the movie received mixed reviews (via Rotten Tomatoes), it still spawned a sequel, The Huntsman: Winter's War, which served as both...
