Astrid is still struggling from the loss of her dad, and her particular style and viewpoint are not appreciated at the boarding school she is currently attending. Astrid is having a challenging time finding her way. Making matters worse is her mom\u2019s fame from her television show \u2013 which Astrid believes is basically a sham. So, it\u2019s no wonder that heading to a small town with her mother and grandmother is not exactly what she had in mind. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve done this a couple times now, where I\u2019ve joined a franchise that I never pictured myself joining,\u201d says Ortega. \u201cSo, definitely, go back, do your homework, study.\u201d Ortega is \u201creally, really grateful\u201d to be a part of the world of \u201cBeetlejuice.\u201d \u201cIt was such a privilege, and I don\u2019t know what I did to be in this position or be on this project,\u201d she says. \u201cBut it felt like I was thanking my lucky stars for it every day, because it was like a dream come true. And I was working with all of these people that I respected and admired and looked up to for years, and they were all so wonderful. And I got to work with one of my favorite directors again, which is incredible.\u201d (Burton directed some episodes of \u201cWednesday,\u201d in which Ortega starred as the titular character, and for which both got Emmy nominations.) <\/p>\n<h3>Rory (Justin Theroux)<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PH_PHILLIPINES_BTLBTL_Digital_Character_Art_Rory_InstaVert_1638x2048_INTL-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-265772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PH_PHILLIPINES_BTLBTL_Digital_Character_Art_Rory_InstaVert_1638x2048_INTL-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PH_PHILLIPINES_BTLBTL_Digital_Character_Art_Rory_InstaVert_1638x2048_INTL-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PH_PHILLIPINES_BTLBTL_Digital_Character_Art_Rory_InstaVert_1638x2048_INTL-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PH_PHILLIPINES_BTLBTL_Digital_Character_Art_Rory_InstaVert_1638x2048_INTL-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PH_PHILLIPINES_BTLBTL_Digital_Character_Art_Rory_InstaVert_1638x2048_INTL-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PH_PHILLIPINES_BTLBTL_Digital_Character_Art_Rory_InstaVert_1638x2048_INTL-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PH_PHILLIPINES_BTLBTL_Digital_Character_Art_Rory_InstaVert_1638x2048_INTL-80x100.jpg 80w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PH_PHILLIPINES_BTLBTL_Digital_Character_Art_Rory_InstaVert_1638x2048_INTL-696x870.jpg 696w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PH_PHILLIPINES_BTLBTL_Digital_Character_Art_Rory_InstaVert_1638x2048_INTL-1392x1740.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PH_PHILLIPINES_BTLBTL_Digital_Character_Art_Rory_InstaVert_1638x2048_INTL-1068x1335.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PH_PHILLIPINES_BTLBTL_Digital_Character_Art_Rory_InstaVert_1638x2048_INTL-1920x2400.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Rory, an all-around sensitive guy, is Lydia\u2019s manager \u2013 helping her host her show, \u201cGhost House with Lydia Deetz\u201d \u2013 as well as her fianc\u00e9.

With trouble brewing in both realms, it\u2019s only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice\u2019s name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem. The sequel\u2019s screenplay is by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (\u201cWednesday\u201d), story by Gough and Millar and Seth Grahame-Smith (\u201cThe LEGO\u00ae Batman Movie\u201d), based on characters created by Michael McDowell and Larry Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeetlejuice Beetlejuice,\u201d distributed in the Philippines by Warner Bros.
