While many people regard Night Shift (1982) and Mr. Mom (1983) as Michael Keaton's breakthrough films, it turns out Beetlejuice (1988) ended up trumping them both at the box office. And now with the early success of the long-awaited sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024), it's clear as to why his son Sean Douglas thinks his dad has reached 'a wonderful, full circle place' in his career.

Because secondary school is not, as we are often told, the happiest time of our life, but by far the most stressful, and we need to stop pretending otherwise. Statistics released last week showed that NHS referrals for anxiety in children are more than double pre-Covid levels, with 500 young people a day being referred to mental health services in ­England.

Michael Keaton used to party hard with Jack Nicholson in the 1990s. The 72-year-old star met the 87-year-old iconic Hollywood actor when they costarred in 1989's Batman - Michael was Batman and Jack was The Joker. The Pennsylvania native - who is now in the sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - had some wild times with the three-time Oscar winner.

Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci lovingly held hands as they sat in the audience of his Hollywood Walk Of Fame ceremony Tuesday. The 66-year-old filmmaker was honored with a star on the world-renowned promenade at an event filled with celebrities. He was treated to speeches by Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, who have a professional history with him stretching back to the 1980s.

Winona Ryder glowed as she posed beside her longtime love Scott Mackinlay Hahn at the London premiere of her next film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The 52-year-old actress was just 17 when she became a star in the original Beetlejuice, a supernatural comedy directed by Tim Burton . Now she has reunited with the filmmaker for a sequel, which also sees her re-team with her co-stars from the first movie, Michael Keaton and Catherine O'Hara.

Beetlejuice fans have been left in a desperate bid to get tickets for London premiere with just hours to go, after the sequel received an incredible 4-minute standing ovation at Venice Film Festival. Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is the long-awaited sequel to his 1988 fantasy comedy horror film Beetlejuice. The film will have its UK premiere at the Leicester Square Odeon on Thursday night and will hit UK cinemas on September 4. Beetlejuice 2 sees Catherine, 70, Winona Ryder, 52, and Michael Keaton, 72, all reprising their roles, 35 years on.

Winona Ryder has opened up about her experiences after starring in the original Beetlejuice film in 1988.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is set to hit cinemas in a matter of days, with stars Michael Keaton, 72, Winona, 52, and Catherine O'Hara, 70, all returning to their iconic roles - while Tim Burton has also made a comeback to direct the movie.

Academy Award-nominated actor Michael Keaton has delivered numerous acclaimed and box office hits, but he admits there's one film where he thinks he fell short. As he reunites with director Tim Burton for the upcoming Beetlejuice sequel, Keaton revealed he let believes he 'sucked in Dumbo,' their 2019 collaboration.  Reflecting on his past work with Burton, including Beetlejuice and the Batman films, Keaton expressed regret over his performance in the Disney remake.

How dispiritingly apt it is in this cinematic universe of sequels and franchises that the picture chosen to open the world's most venerable film festival should be Tim Burton's follow-up to his 1988 hit Beetlejuice, long-awaited by just about nobody. Nobody I know, anyway. The 81st Venice Film Festival opened last night with an impressive cluster of stars on the red carpet, but the movie they were here to celebrate - Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - is not quite worthy of the honour.

Beetlejuice stole the show while being interviewed by Michael Keaton in a Hot Ones parody posted on Monday by Warner Bros. Pictures on YouTube.

In the Hollywood-beloved dark fantasy comedy-horror from 1988, Winona was only 16 years old as she played Lydia Deetz, while Michael, in the titular role, was 36 (left).

The outing comes later in the same day the trailer for Mila's upcoming movie with Michael Keaton, 72, Goodrich was released.
