The 81st Venice Film Festival kicked off with a bang as Tim Burton's highly anticipated horror comedy sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, had its first press screening to a packed house. The star-studded cast, including Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Jenna Ortega, Willem Defoe, Justin Theroux, and Monica Belluci, gathered for a group discussion on the making of the long-awaited project.
Ryder expressed her joy at reuniting with Keaton after 36 years, likening the atmosphere on set to the original film's production in 1988. She praised Burton's direction, saying, 'My love and trust for Tim runs so deep, and there was a sense of playfulness and freedom on set.'
