Beetlejuice 2: Una secuela que no queremos

Imaginen unas garras deslizándose sobre la superficie de una pizarra de escuela, de las verde “old school”. Qué cosa tan insoportable ¿verdad? Pues esto es lo que siento en mi cabeza cada vez que escucho las palabras “Beetlejuice” y “secuela” juntas.

La película Beetlejuice [1988] del director Tim Burton es una de mis películas favoritas y he sido de las primera en pegar el grito en el cielo desde que comenzaron los rumores sobre una posible secuela para esta película.

Ahora con las noticias de que el escritor de la novela Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Seth Grahame-Smith será el que estará a cargo de desarrollar el guion para Beetlejuice 2 el sonido que les mencioné de la pizarra se ha intensificado.

En una entrevista que realizó Grahame-Smith comentó sobre lo mal parados que están ya que esta película aún no sabe que línea cogerá aparte de saber que Beetlejuice estará en la película y que será una secuela en la que habrá pasado el mismo tiempo que ha pasado desde la película original. Obviamente Grahame-Smith no dijo “estamos mal” pero sus expresiones sobre sus ideas son casi un grito de ayuda. Es terrible que tanto él como Burton y Keaton piensen estar involucrados en una secuela para proyecto que muchos de los cinéfilos lo piensan innecesario pero que éstos quieren realizar solo por que aman la película original. Si fuera por esto sería una obligación hacer más secuelas. Gracias pero, no gracias.

Aquí les dejo los comentarios que hizo Grahame-Smith:

If we come up with nothing but shit then we’re not going to do it. Beetlejuice, I think, is too important to too many people, myself included, and Tim, and Michael Keaton, to do a sequel just for the sake of it, because we’d think it would be commercial. It’s one of my favourite movies of all time. I still have the original 1988 poster in my office, framed, above my desk. It was an important and seminal movie for me. I want to find a way, so badly, to get it right, but I am so absolutely horrified at the thought of getting it wrong that we’re taking our time and being really careful about it. Though I have talked to Tim quite a bit about it, and I have talked to Michael quite a bit.

But here’s the problem. Beetlejuice was a wonderful accident. It has, of course, irreverence, visual inventiveness and daring, and it has subversive humour in it. Endless inventiveness. But, really, when they put it together, and Tim will tell you this, David Geffen will tell you this, and Michael Keaton will tell you this, that when they first put it together it just didn’t work. That was a movie that miraculously and strangely came together in editing. They found this wonderful, strange, irreverent movie in there.

That’s the scariest part for me – essentially I’m trying to catch lightning in a bottle. The chance of creating something transcendent twice is very slim.

But I think the magic ingredient is trying not to over do it. Not to make it some crazy, overblown big Beetlejuice Saves the World type of story. Frankly, Beetlejuice himself is only in the original movie for about a half hour. I think using him sparingly is key. And not trying to make it so modern, family friendly and broad but to cling to the things that made it a little dangerous.

And obviously we’re not remaking the movie or rebooting it. It would be a sequel, and however much time has passed between the two movies, that’s the amount of time that will have passed in the story.
