In the late 90's, this news would've been huge.
Loved ID4 as a kid but but tried watching it a few months ago. It is a baaaaad movie. They should've just gone with a remake. Curious to see how you make a Will Smith-less sequel though.

So it comes out 3 weeks after TMNT 2, 2016 is going to be massive year for big movies.

I doubt it will be any good as the 1st one and I feel it could go down the same way as Sin City 2 did but I could be wrong and I will probably go see it.

No Will Smith, no interest.

Maybe they can bring back Jeff Goldblum, He was good in the 1st one.

I'll never understand why movies have sequels over 20 years apart.

Yes you do, it's called "We're Out of Ideas".

Also, the public has spent the last few years proving that they'll go see any old sh*t with a familiar brand name on it, so add it up and there ya go. "We're Out of Ideas" plus "They'll Buy Anything" equals "They're Making Beetlejuice 2."

Oh, by the way... they're making "Beetlejuice 2", you guys. Like, for real. Keaton said so. Anybody got any cyanide?

The first was pretty bad IMO. The moment Will Smith went over and punched the alien I knew it wasn't meant to be serious. Even for a cheesy scifi movie its bad.

Its funny I read about the sequel back in July and people were complaining that Will Smith wouldn't be in it saying he doesn't care about the fans and ID is what made him famous...really? So his music and Fresh Price were just stepping stones to big-time?

That was seriously one of the stupidest things I've read online. I can understand people liking the movie. Even bad stuff has its followings but the Will Smith complaints are nonsense.

*CyberCubed* · 11-26-2014, 10:26 PM

Didn't the first movie come out in 1996? Damn, I think I was only like 10 years old or something.

**Jester** · 11-26-2014, 10:48 PM

It does seem like a dumb choice. Why bother without Will. Do they have Goldblum?

reminds me of the kevin smith movie where they brought him in to write either superman or beetlejuice goes hawiian. 'i think we've said all we needed to say with the first beetlejuice, must we go tropical?'

Good Lord, this is gonna be Speed 2: Cruise Control all over again, isn't it?

Memphis · 11-28-2014, 12:11 AM

No Will Smith? Pass... That was him and Goldblum's movie.

*Warhorse* · 11-28-2014, 01:27 PM

Hmmm, I wonder if Mae Whitman is going to be in it? Be kind of funny, considering.

But really, maybe like, 15 years ago, I could have been hyped about this, but not so much now.

*TigerClaw* · 11-28-2014, 01:44 PM

I'm looking forward to it, I enjoyed the first one, It'll be interesting to see if, they can get at some of the original cast despite Will Smith not being in it., Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman to name a few.

Agreed. Enjoyable for the time - especially as we were young - but doesn't really hold up by contemporary standards.
