I like the idea of this sequel with both Keaton and Ryder updating their original characters. Whether it was the time or not, Beetlejuice is one of those films that seems to have had a perfect cast and any remake wouldn't be much good when the original is still holding up. So as long as the sequel isn't a remake in disguise, adding Ortega sounds good. They should also bring back O'Hara, who is always a scene stealer. Baldwin can stay on the ranch.

You may not see Jeffrey Jones return, considering his legal issues. Looks like he's only done 1 movie over the past 10 years, and instead has done mostly theater.

I'm sure there is his side to the story, but Jones crossed a line that people don't get to come back from as a general rule. It was, and still is, a career destroyer.

Returning to both Batman and Beetlejuice so long after the originals, Keaton is proving you can go home again. Now, where's "Johnny Dangerously 2" at?
And I will say that even though I've never been a big Indiana Jones fan, I got a little bit of a tingle seeing the full trailer for the new one of those at the theater yesterday before seeing GOTG 3 (which was terrific.)

Saw an article on line that with both Indiana Jones and Michael Keaton returning as Batman, they feel as if we are reliving the summer of 1989, which I remember well. Someone commented that all you need now is Timothy Dalton to return as James Bond. He's now on TV with Harrison Ford in 1923, playing the villain.

There are indications that the writers' and actors' strikes may not be settled for months. The sides are wide apart, with the studios claiming that the revenue demands of the unions are beyond reason and they will wait until people start getting evicted. Very nice to say, but if it comes to that, the studios are probably in better position to wait it out.
Anyway, it is being reported that a few of the bigger late 2023 films may be held off until 2024 when publicity tours can kick in again. If that happens it will change both the 2023 and 2024 release schedules and beyond. I don't think the studios will mind because they still have a pandemic backlog of content, and it has already been demonstrated that viewers will watch almost anything on the streaming channels.
Unless the unions cave, I think the studios have dug in for the long haul.

According to several sources, due to the Actors' strike, several movies from 2023 have now been moved to 2024:
Kraven the Hunter (Spider-Man villain) was originally supposed to be October 2023;
Spider-Man Beyond the Spider-Verse; originally supposed to be March 2024, release date now TBD
The new GHOSTBUSTERS film started filming in early 2023, but production has halted. The fall 2023 release date is obviously off.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Tommy C,

Dune 2 has officially been moved from this November to March 2024. I guess the studios don't see an end in sight to the strikes yet.
Considering the number of flops DC is racking up in a row, I wonder if Warner Brothers decides to switch out "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom", or if they would rather release and have another excuse to blame besides just another lousy movie.

A little early, but the trailer for "Argylle" just came out and seems to have generated some buzz. In theatres February 2nd with a pretty decent cast. Another "Romancing the Stone", "Lost City" type, but I really could use a passably funny movie.
Of course the Henry Cavill/Dua Lipa dance number is what's getting all the hits. Anyway, I put it on my 2024 calendar.

Thank you for this. I don't keep up with anything nowadays so haven't heard of it, I looked it up because you mentioned Henry Cavill, and well, I can't help but look. I watched the trailer and it looks like such a dumb funny movie. I must watch it!!!!!!

Finally "Borderlands" has been given a release date, August 9, 2024. That's clinging to the edges of the summer movie season.
This year "Meg 2" came out at the same time and did pretty well, so who knows? There are major red flags in the delayed production of "Borderlands", but I'm still holding out hope that it will be entertaining enough within the video game adaptation genre.
