admin The ghost with the most is back and we’re excited that it’s now out in cinemas for us to see what more chaos Betelgues will get up too. The 1988 cult-classic made waves in Hollywood with Keaton’s acting and the unique storyline.
Director, Tim Burton, said on seeing Keaton return to the role “We didn’t rehearse and do anything. So he comes on, it was truly like a demon possession. It felt like a time warp. It was unnerving. It was great. It was exciting, but it was really also disturbing… That’s what gave the film its energy. You know, we’d make up stuff every day – which is kind of hard to do when you’re dealing with all live effects… Mike and I talked about this from the very beginning, that that was very important to the spirit, especially with all the technology… We just wanted to kind of not think about sequel or anything. Just go and make the movie. And so, like I said, that energy of what he brought back to it was, was amazing and crucial.”
He also added that he waited for this moment to release the film because “It’s been asked (about) from the very beginning, right? But nothing clicked and truly, it couldn’t have happened until now. I just put all the noise away and I just go, okay, I love the Lydia character. That was the character that I connected with… So I go like, well, what happened to this person 35 years later? You know, what weird thing- you go from cool teenager to what some fucked up adult or what? And what relationships do you have when you have kids?”
And of course, bringing on his Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, he said “She is Wednesday, you know what I mean? She’s really integral to this because she’s our entrance into this, she’s kind of the anchor of the film, it is actually really the story about her. And if you really want to boil it down, you know, her and her mother. And so she’s a really beautiful addition.”
