From this chat , it ’s apparent there ’s one cock-a-hoop reason behind the film ’s spooky magic : and his name is Tim Burton .
“ He is the unspoiled , [ most ] fun - loving , kind , collaborative , originative , wildly imaginative , original conductor anywhere , ” O’Hara told io9 . She also said that while she was initially apprehensive , wondering how a fall out - up toBeetlejuicecould ever work , Burton set her mind at ease . “ The more I listen from Tim about what he wanted to do , I was like , ‘ Okay , it ’s going to be beneficial . ’ ”
Ortega , who play with Burton on Netflix hitWednesdaybefore being roll as Astrid , tally . “ I do n’t know why , but in my career so far , I ’ve had the habit of joining thing like franchises , reboots , or things like that , ” she said ; in addition to play the claim eccentric in theAddams Familyspin - off , she also starred in twoScreamfilms . “ So it ’s always that pressing of not want to be the disrupter because you ’re new to the worldly concern . sports fan have an expectation and then you ’ve get to come in and play like you were always going to be a part of it , or something like that . So it ’s just like a unearthly space to be . But it was nice because I was smother by so many citizenry who are so bright at what they do , that I think it took some of the pressure off of me because , well , look atthem , you know . But I need to make certain that I did it right and was venerating of what came before me and what was happening now . ”

ask about the amount of improv that function intoBeetlejuice Beetlejuice , Ortega said there was a certain amount of spontaneity in its fashioning . “ [ Burton ] kind of does it too ; when you work with him , there ’s not even a pellet list . He just kind of fig out what he want to do on the day depending on the fit . perhaps the light ’s coming through a certain way . He has certain things that , like , he ’ll draw a sketch and he knows he want to see that image . He sleep with he wants that slant , ” she clarify . “ But when it fare to reporting and things like that , he just kind of feels it out . And he trusts and lie with what he ’s got , and what he has n’t got yet . He has a ad-lib calibre about him as well . Every twenty-four hour period onWednesday , it ’s like , ‘ Okay . Well , I do n’t know . We kind of did that the other day . Should we do something [ different today ] ? ' ”
O’Hara had a alike take . “ I feel like in [ Beetlejuice Beetlejuice ] he lie with what he wanted it to look like . He knew what he wanted to have happen in every scene . But he was always open to what mat up right for you , in your role . He ’d say , ‘ We could do this , but you do n’t have to , but I ’m think … ’ And you go , ‘ Yeah , that makes sense ! But what if I … ? ’ ‘ Oh that throw sense ! ’ And we ’d go with that . It was just so open and convinced . Such convinced coaction . It ’s the best way to lick . ”
