For the second iteration of our “Ask ChatGPT” series, We asked ChatGPT to generate a sequel to the hit film Beetlejuice in order to celebrate its 35th anniversary! The film, starring Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder and directed by the famed Tim Burton, grossed over 73 million dollars at the US Box Office upon its release on March 30th, 1988. It currently holds a certified fresh rating of 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, and has since gained serious cult classic status among movie fans since. While you wait for the sequel that’s officially in the works, read along as ChatGPT gives us what it believes should be the name and starting point for:
The Ghost with the Most: Beetlejuice 2
FADE IN:
EXT. WINTER RIVER BRIDGE – DAY
A foggy morning. We see the Winter River Bridge, covered in ice and snow. A sign reads “Welcome to Winter River, Home of Beetlejuice”. Suddenly, a red sports car zooms by and crosses the bridge.
INT. SPORTS CAR – DAY
We see a gloved hand on the steering wheel. The driver wears a black suit and a white shirt. His face is hidden behind a black and white striped scarf.
DRIVER (to himself) This place hasn’t changed a bit. Still as dead as ever.
The driver turns up the radio. We hear the song “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)”.
DRIVER (singing) Day-O, Day-O, daylight come and me wan’ go home…
Suddenly, the car hits a bump and the cassette player ejects the tape. The driver puts the tape back in and hits the play button. But instead of “Day-O”, we hear a voice.
VOICE (V.O.) Hey, buddy! You’re not supposed to be here.
The driver looks around, confused. He realizes the voice is coming from the car stereo.
DRIVER What the…?
VOICE (V.O.) I said, you’re not supposed to be here. This is the Neitherworld, and you’re a living person.
DRIVER Neitherworld? Living person? What are you talking about?
VOICE (V.O.) You know exactly what I’m talking about. You’re not fooling anyone with that scarf.
The driver takes off the scarf, revealing his face. It’s BEETLEJUICE, looking just as mischievous as ever.
BEETLEJUICE Well, well, well. If it isn’t my old pal, the living guy. What brings you to my neck of the woods, huh?
