Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd’s “Death of a Unicorn” will continue to shoot despite the writers and actors strike that’s currently affecting Hollywood. The film is a part of 39 independent productions that received approval from the unions to continue to shoot.

Variety reports that the film is excluded from the strike due to the fact that its production studio, A24, isn’t affiliated with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).

“Death of a Unicorn” stars Rudd and Ortega as a father and daughter whose dramatic conflict in the film is sparked after they accidentally run over a unicorn while driving home. The film is expected to shoot in Hungary soon.

‘Beetlejuice’ is returning to movie theatres next year with a new edition.

Warner Bros. has announced that ‘Beetlejuice 2’ will be released on the big screen on September 6, 2024, reports ‘Variety’.

It opens on the same day as Marvel’s ‘Blade’, a comic book adventure starring Mahershala Ali. Otherwise, there’s not much currently set on the release calendar in the surrounding weeks.

Warner Bros. has fielded hits over Labor Day weekend of years past with ‘It’ and the sequel ‘It: Chapter 2’ as well as ‘The Nun’.

As per ‘Variety’, there’s little information available about the follow-up to Tim Burton’s 1988 film about a pesky poltergeist, but the filmmaker is returning with Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice and Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz.

Additional cast members include ‘Wednesday’ star Jenna Ortega as the daughter of Ryder’s character, as well as Justin Theroux in a yet-to-be-revealed role. Production is expected to begin in London on May 10.

Brad Pitt’s Plan B is producing ‘Beetlejuice 2’. Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who worked with Burton on ‘Wednesday’, have penned the screenplay.

In the first film, a recently deceased married couple (played by Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) are impossibly irked by the new family (Catherine O’Hara and Jeffrey Jones play the parents and Ryder portrays their teenage daughter) that moved into their home. So they contact Beetlejuice, a devious ghost from the Netherworld, who promises to help them haunt the house’s new inhabitants.

A critical and commercial hit, ‘Beetlejuice’ grossed $74.7 million and inspired a Tony-nominated stage musical. After a four-year run, which was interrupted by the pandemic, the show closed on Broadway in January.
