Delia Deetz statue from BEETLEJUICE stolen from BEETLEJUICE 2 set and police are looking for it

Tim Burton was in production on Cockroach juice 2 It’s been a while, but during the actor and writer strikes, I’m guessing there’s not much going on with production and the sets just sit around waiting to be reused.

Well, it looks like someone took advantage of the empty sets to steal some props from the movie. One of those props was the strange iconic statue of Catherine O’Hara’s character Delia Deetz from the first film. The Vermont State Police shared a tweet revealing that in addition to the 150-pound statue, the thieves also stole a lamppost complete with pumpkin decoration.

“We tried saying the name of this stolen statue three times, but it didn’t come back! We are investigating the theft of this 150-pound sculpture from the Beetlejuice 2 set in [East Corinth]along with a street lamp topped with a pumpkin decoration.

You can check out the tweet below. It’s funny to think that someone is probably hiding this statue in the basement. It looks like something you would see in the TV series Shameless.

The film is the protagonist Michael Keatonwho returns to interpret the Phantom with the most, Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz, Jenna Ortega like her daughter, Catherine O’Hara as Delia Deetz, Justin Theroux (Leftovers), AND Monica Belucci (Irreversible, Spectrum, The apartment) as Beetlejuice’s wife in the story. Willem Dafoe he’s also in the film and plays a ghoulish law enforcement officer in the Neitherworld.

The project began production with Burton directing from a script written by Alfred Gough AND Miles Millar (Wednesday AND Smallville). The screenplay was also worked on by Mike Vukadinovichwith previous drafts from Seth Grahame-Smith AND David Katzenberg. Katzenberg and Grahame-Smith are producing. Danny Elfo he is also returning to composing the score.

The film will be released in theaters on September 6, 2024.
