Tim Burton’s World’S Beetle Juice Beetle Juice I had fun with a couple of different narrative concepts, but neither of them involved the return of the Maitlands, Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara (Geena Davis), from the original film.
They were mentioned a couple of times and we found out that they had found a way to cross over to the next plane of existence, which explains why they are not involved in this movie. But the original script for the sequel actually had a scene that brought the characters back!
Screenwriter Alfred Gough recently spoke to EW about the version of the script that included the Maitlands in the new film. He also revealed why the scene was ultimately cut.
Gough explained: “There was a version [of the script] where they just showed up at the end, but the problem is they’re ghosts. So they needed to look like they were 35, which would never happen. I think Tim felt, and Miles and I agreed, that their story had been told. So how do we move forward from there?”
Yeah, there wasn’t much point in bringing them back. Their story had been told, and their inclusion would only add to an already messy and convoluted story.
But it’s interesting to find out what their initial plan was for the characters.
